An EMS student is considered ineligible if he/she has an F for two consecutive weeks in the same class.  The student will be placed on a probationary list during the first week, and that student will have the opportunity to raise their grade prior to grades being checked for the next week.  If a student brings their grade up to a passing level during the probationary week, they will be eligible to participate the following week.  A student will be considered ineligible if they are failing the same class for the second consecutive week.  If a student is ineligible, the student will not be eligible to participate in any competitions during the following week.  Once they are able to bring their grade up to a passing level, they will then be allowed to participate on an EMS team.

If a student does not pass the required 5 new classes in a semester, then the student will not be eligible for the next semester. (KSHSAA Rule 13, Article 3 of the KSHSAA Handbook)
