Intramural Sports Eligibility


All currently enrolled Pace University undergraduate, graduate, and law students as well as currently employed faculty and staff are eligible for participation in our Intramural Sports Program, providing they meet all other program guidelines.  Alumni and Community members must be members of the Goldstein Fitness Center in order to participate.  Individuals participating in our intramural sports program will be responsible for their own eligibility.  Individuals must provide their Pace University identification card to the Intramural Staff member for each intramural game.  If you fail to do so, you will not be permitted to participate in that game.  Intramural team captains’ will be held accountable for the eligibility of their participants listed on the intramural team roster.

Intercollegiate Team Members
 

Individuals who are currently members of a junior varsity or varsity sports team are not eligible for participation in their sport or related within our intramural sports program.

Individuals who are ineligible for junior varsity or varsity competition (i.e., red shirted, transfer rule, academic grades, injuries, etc.), but signed a letter of intent, attend practices, or practices with the team, will be considered active members of the team and therefore will not be eligible for participation in their sport or related sport within our intramural sports program.

Former Intercollegiate Team Members

Individuals who have completed their collegiate athletic eligibility as determined by the NCAA in a given sport will be eligible for participation in their sport or related sport within our intramural sports program.  When the above condition is in effect, no more than two former intercollegiate team members may be listed on the same intramural team roster for the sport or related sport in which they participated at the collegiate level.  These individuals must be identified on the roster as former intercollegiate team members.

Our definition of “Professional Athletes” will be the following:  1) any individual/s who has received payment for playing, including appearance money, and 2) any individual/s who is recognized by the sport’s governing body as a perofessional.  Professional Athletes will be eligible to participate in our intramural sports program, providing they have not played or received payment for services within the current school year.
