• The student shall be enrolled at an AIHEC-member TCU with a minimum of nine (9) credit hours per quarter or per semester as established by their AIHEC-member institution.

• While students enrolled in graduate study are permitted to attend the conference if they are enrolled in at least six (6) credit hours, they cannot participate in or register for any of the conference competitions. The conference competitions are for certificate, associate, or bachelor’s degree seeking TCU students only.

• The student must maintain a minimum, cumulative 2.0 grade point average (GPA), or a “C” grade average for those students previously enrolled, except that any GPA requirement established by an AIHEC-member institution shall take precedence, and in the case of a student not previously enrolled (e.g., new student, transfer student), he or she shall be deemed to be in good academic standing and making satisfactory progress, as determined by the TCU in which said student is enrolled;

• The student cannot be a full-time college employee, but the student may be enrolled in a work study program or an internship; and

• The student must have a written certification of current college credits and academic standing provided by the registrar or other authorized official of the AIHEC-member institution in which he or she is enrolled.

​

Each competition registration form in the AIHEC Student Conference Handbook requires a signature from a staff member, an administrator, or a coach from the AIHEC-member institution which the student attends certifying that the student meets these eligibility requirements.

 

The conference student eligibility requirements are consistent with the AIHEC Student Congress Bylaws, Article VII, regulating student eligibility, which were approved by the AIHEC Board of Directors on October 30, 2013.
