Mendocino College supports the belief that athletics are an important segment of the total educational process and is a member of the Bay Valley Conference. Other colleges in the Bay Valley Conference include: Alameda, Contra Costa, Laney, Los Medanos, Marin, Merritt, Napa, Solano, and Yuba
Mendocino College supports the following intercollegiate teams: Women's basketball, soccer, softball and volleyball. Men's baseball, basketball and football.
The following basic principles pertain to all matters of eligibility:
All student athletes participate in the Student-Athlete Success Program (SASP). This program is a resource to assist student athletes in all areas of college life: academics, athletics and personal challenges. The purpose of the SASP is to provide Mendocino College student-athletes with the support services (e.g., Study Table Program) necessary to assist them in achieving their educational objectives. All student athletes are required to participate in the SASP.
- In order to be eligible, a student-athlete must be continuously and actively enrolled in a minimum of 12 credit units at his/her community college during the season of sport. Such eligibility shall be required for both non-conference and post-conference participation.
- In order to continue athletic participation in any sport, the student athlete shall maintain a cumulative 2.0 grade point average (GPA) in accredited post-secondary course work computed since the start of the semester/quarter of the first participation.
- To be eligible for the second season of a sport, the student athlete must complete and pass 24 semester/36 quarter units between seasons of competition and have a college accumulative grade point average of 2.0 or above. These units must be completed prior to the beginning of the semester or quarter of the second season of sport.
Of the 24 semester/36 quarter units to be completed, 18 semester/27 quarter units shall be in course work counting towards degree, remediation, transfer and/or certification as defined by the college catalog and consistent with the student athlete's educational plan.
A student transferring to a California community college for academic or athletic participation purposes, and who has previously participated in intercollegiate athletics, and whose most recent participation was at another California community college must complete 12 units in residence prior to the beginning of the semester/quarter of competition of that college.
Mendocino College adheres to Commission on Athletics Constitution and Bay Valley Conference eligibility rules and regulations. Final eligibility decisions rest with the Bay Valley Conference Commissioner of the California Association of Community College (CACC) Commission on Athletics and the Northern California Football Alliance (NCFA).
