As a result of discussions sparked by an inquiry from Matthew Wheeler, Chair of the Athletic Board, we are proposing the following changes to Rule 34.B.

Deletions marked by strikethrough; additions underlined

B. Student-Athletes

• 1. The Athletic Board of the Urbana-Champaign Faculty-Student Senate has delegated authority to review and approve or disapprove schedules for all intercollegiate athletic contests that involve participants from the Urbana-Champaign campus to the Academic Progress and Eligibility Committee (APEC). Each athletic team schedule must adhere to APEC guidelines for approved absences and must be submitted to APEC for approval.

• 2. The maximum number of school days absent during a semester for each team cannot exceed ten, not including estimates for championship and other postseason events.
  • a. A school day is considered any day classes are scheduled during the semester, including Reading Day.
  • b. No away athletic events are allowed during final examination periods.
  • c. b. Any waivers of these regulations this regulation require the approval of the Athletic Board at the time of scheduling.

• 3. No athletic events are allowed during final examination periods without approval by APEC and approval by the Chancellor or the Chancellor's designee.

• 3. 4. Questions about these policies should be directed to either the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics' Academic Service Office (333-2240) or the chair of the Academic Progress and Eligibility Committee.
