PTD Waiver Directive
![Page 7: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

maintain academic progress toward completion of degree requirements within five years.
Overall academic record shows deficiency is an anomaly for a specific timeframe.
Reasonable expectation for the SA to graduate in five years (academic recovery plan).
![Page 8: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Purpose and Principles NCAA Bylaw 14.4.3.1.6 and 14.4.3.1.6.1
(football only):
Evidence of compelling mitigation for the SA’s inability to earn nine-semester or eight-quarter hours and/or the NCAA Division I Academic Progress Rate eligibility point; and
Evidence of compelling mitigation for failure to earn 27-semeseter or 40-quarter hours by the beginning of the next fall.
![Page 9: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Minimum Standard for Review Eligibility for competition and/or practice must
be directly affected.
Exhaustion of options to rectify the deficiency.
Enrolled at the certifying institution or have enrollment immediately pending.
![Page 10: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Academic Analysis Quality point analysis.
Overall academic record.
![Page 11: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Mitigation
![Page 12: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is Mitigation? Evidence, supported by objective
documentation, of specific circumstances creating a deficiency in meeting PTD.
Reason for deficiency.
Anomaly in overall academic record. Are there patterns in the record?
Circumstance must tie to deficiency.

Temporary Review Process

Temporary ReviewStaff granted authority to consider extenuating circumstances and exercise reasonable discretion in evaluating cases where the prescribed analysis, as set forth in the legislation, (sub)committee directives or guidelines and case precedent, result in an inappropriate negative impact to a PSA or SA.
Temporary Review.
Cases in which a SA’s on active military service or participation on official religious mission;
Cases involving requests for relief of full-time enrollment legislation for reasons related to health, well-being or personal hardship; or
Cases that involve the potential for significant withholding conditions (e.g., a year in residence and one or more seasons of intercollegiate competition, loss of all or part of final year of eligibility), despite the existence of circumstances indicating that the application of prescribed penalties is disproportionate or otherwise inconsistent with the intent of the legislation.

Misadvisement
![Page 18: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Misadvisement What information was provided that was not
accurate?
Demonstration the SA relied on the erroneous information to his or her detriment.
Clear evidence the deficiency was a result of the erroneous information.
Institutional recovery plan.

Legislation – Fulfillment of Percentage of Degree Requirements SA entering third year: 40%.
SA entering fourth year: 60%.
SA entering fifth year: 80%.
Bylaw 14.4.3.2
![Page 20: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Degree Program Requirements
Question:
What credit hours are included in the denominator for calculating percentage of degree?
![Page 21: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Degree Program Requirements
Answer: All courses that fulfill a requirement in that SA’s specific
degree program, to include:
General education requirements.
Major courses.
Electives (major or free) - only if allotted in degree.
Required minor (if included in the total number of credit hours required for the degree).
![Page 22: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Degree Program Requirements
Denominator will not change unless the overall degree program changes. Include: Degree program adds a teaching component
resulting in an increase in the number of hours required to graduate from 124 to 144.
Do not include: SA must take eight hours of prerequisite foreign language, but does not have elective room and the prerequisites are not included in the degree program. This does not increase the denominator by eight hours to include the additional work.
![Page 23: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Eric – BaseballCase Study
![Page 24: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Eric Eric has declared a major in business.
Program is 120 credit hours:
Specified nonbusiness courses – 50 credit hours. Specified business courses – 70 credit hours (no
elective room within degree). Business program offers a number of optional
minors to enhance the educational experience. Each minor is 18 credit hours.
![Page 25: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Eric continued... Does adding a minor change the degree
program to 138 credits hours?
Bylaw 14.4.3.2.4 (hours earned or accepted toward a minor).
No – the minor is optional. Degree program remains 120 hours.

Eric continued...
Spring 2014: Earned 15 hours. Of the 15 hours, nine were toward a minor.
Summer 2014: No hours – advisor told Eric he had earned enough hours to
meet 60%.
Fall 2014: Is Eric eligible?NO
![Page 28: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Misadvisement ? What do we know?
Eric has passed 81 of 96 degree hours attempted.
Of those 81, nine hours are part of an optional minor, six hours are remedial and do not count, leaving only 66 counting toward his degree program.
NOTE: The advisor told him he did not need to take summer hours because he had 75 hours and only needed 72.
![Page 29: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Misadvisement ? What information was provided that was not accurate?
Eric was told he passed 75 hours toward his degree.
Demonstrate that the SA relied on the erroneous information to his detriment. Eric did not take summer hours – instead played in
a summer league.
Clear evidence the deficiency was a result of the erroneous information. Had he been advised properly, could he have taken
six hours in summer? What about the 15 hours he failed prior to spring
2014?
![Page 30: Division I Progress Toward Degree](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062501/568162e7550346895dd36922/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)

Personal Hardship Clearly supported by contemporaneous documentation, the SA
was unable to meet PTD as a result of: Physical or mental circumstances suffered by SA or family
member; or Extreme financial difficulties (e.g., layoff, death in the
family); or Natural disasters (e.g., earthquakes, floods).
Beyond the control of the SA.
Clarification that the event or circumstance has been resolved.
Clear evidence the deficiency was a result of the personal hardship.

Legislation – Fullfillment of Credit-Hour Requirements 24/36 hours of academic credit prior to the start
of the second year.
18/27 hours of academic credit since the beginning of the previous fall term, or preceding regular two semesters or three quarters.
Six-semester/-quarter hours of academic credit during the preceding regular academic term.
