Should the District elect to permit non-traditional students to participate in interscholastic activities, such students must qualify as bonafide students under MSHSAA regulations in order to participate in such activities. 

Non-Traditional students may be considered bonafide under MSHSAA regulations under any of the following options: 

Option 1 - Transcripted Credits 

1. The student must be enrolled in a District high school although some courses/credits are taken off-campus, i.e. virtual, post-secondary, work study, etc; and 
2. All credits attempted must appear on the student’s high school transcript; and 
3. All classes must be completed by the high school’s close of semester in order to be considered counted toward activity eligibility. 
4. See Policy 6190 for a list of virtual and online transcripted credits accepted.

Option 2 - Seat Time plus Non-Transcripted Credits 

1. The Fairfax R-3 school district does not accept Non-Transcripted Credits to count towards MSHSAA Eligibility.  

Change of Enrollment Status 

Any student whose enrollment status changes from being a non-bonafide activity eligible student  to a bonafide activity eligible student will be considered a transfer student.  As a transfer student, the student would be activity ineligible until a transfer of eligibility form is filed and an eligibility ruling rendered.
