SALLIE

Athletic Eligibility Tracking

Manage and monitor student-athlete eligibility information.

Eligibility is two questions asked over and over: is this athlete cleared to take part, and are their grades still good enough? The answers sit in a folder of physicals, a stack of consent forms and a grade report that arrives as a spreadsheet, and too often the coach finds out on game day.

SALLIE puts both answers on the roster. An athlete shows as cleared when there is a physical on file that has not expired, a consent, a concussion form, no academic hold, no injury keeping them out, and no return-to-play clearance still owed. Otherwise a chip names each problem. How long a physical stays good is your school's setting.

For grades, the athletic director or the office uploads the grade report. SALLIE reads it into a draft first: how many athletes, who would lose eligibility, and who is at the line. Your school sets the rule, such as how many failing courses are allowed. Nothing is recorded until you confirm, and even then SALLIE puts no hold on anyone by itself. You decide who goes on academic hold, one athlete at a time, and whether to text the families of athletes at the line or past it.

On game day the event roll lists any athlete who is not cleared, with the reasons. Letting that athlete travel anyway takes a confirmed card that carries a warning, and their clearance stays as it was.

SALLIE's Eligibility screen: the school's failing-course rule above a card for each team that lists athletes who have lost eligibility or are at the line, with buttons to put an athlete on academic hold and to tell parents and guardians.

Questions

Does SALLIE decide who is eligible?

No. It applies the rule your school sets to the grade report you upload, and shows who would lose eligibility and who is at the line. A person places each academic hold and lifts it. It is a check before your state association's eligibility certification, not a replacement for it.

What grades count as failing?

The rule starts with one failing course allowed: more than that loses eligibility, and “at the line” means one more would. F and E count as failing and D as near. With number grades, below 60 fails and below 70 is near. Your school can change these.

What about injuries and return to play?

Every head-injury report requires a return-to-play clearance, and the athlete stays not cleared until that clearance is put on file. Nothing is cleared automatically. Who clears an athlete, and after how long, is your school's policy, not SALLIE's.
