Academic Standards

Students who participate in intercollegiate competition must meet all academic standards for admission to Cumberland University. The student‐athletes must maintain all academic standards as they progress toward degree completion. Your academic success is of primary importance to CU and the Department of Athletics. Participation in intercollegiate athletics should not interfere unreasonably with a student’s academic program or progress towards a degree. A student may not participate in intercollegiate athletics unless he or she is making continuous progress towards obtaining a degree. The goal of the CU Department of Athletics is to have the student‐athletes graduating at a rate that is better than that of the general student population.
