1. The NCAA requires ALL institutions to have an outside entity certify student-athlete’s eligibility.

2. Student-Athletes must be certified as eligible prior to engaging in competition for UWM.

In order to accurately determine a student’s progress towards degree, advisors are asked to confirm:

1. #of credits earned towards the degree (numerator), and

2. #of credits remaining to earn the degree (denominator).

For example: If a student has earned 52 credits towards their degree

AND has 76 credits remaining to earn degreeThe denominator used to determine progress towards

degree is 128 (52 + 76).

PROGRESS TOWARDS DEGREE = 52/128 = 40%

STUDENT-ATHLETE CERTIFICATION PROCESS FOR EACH SEMESTER
