9. 1.The NCAA requires ALL institutions to have an outside entity certify student-athlete’s eligibility. 2.Student-Athletes must be certified as eligible prior to engaging in competition for UWM. In order to accurately determine a student’s progress towards degree, advisors are asked to confirm: 1.#of credits earned towards the degree (numerator), and 2.#of credits remaining to earn the degree (denominator). For example: If a student has earned 52 credits towards their degree AND has 76 credits remaining to earn degree The denominator used to determine progress towards degree is 128 (52 + 76). PROGRESS TOWARDS DEGREE = 52/128 = 40%
