WAIVERS


THE WAIVER PROCESS

The waiver process is designed to give an opportunity to students who encounter
hardships due to extenuating life changing circumstances.  With this process in
place, students that normally would be ineligible to participate in varsity
contests, due to these involuntary or unavoidable circumstances, now are able to
seek eligibility through one of the various waivers.  The waivers that are
available are: Four-Year, Parent Residence, Foreign Exchange, Retroactive,
Middle School Over-Age, and High School Over-Age.

 


EFFECTIVE FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR, THERE WILL NOT BE A $100 WAIVER
APPLICATION FILING FEE.  APPEAL FEES WILL REMAIN.


WE WILL BEGIN ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR STARTING JUNE
1, 2023.   


ALL FOREIGN EXCHANGE WAIVERS MUST BE SUBMITTED THROUGH THE UIL PORTAL ONLY.

 


ADMINISTRATORS: DUE TO THE HIGH CALL VOLUME, PLEASE ALLOW US THE OPPORTUNITY TO
RETURN YOUR CALL PRIOR TO CALLING BACK. 


WHEN APPLYING FOR THE PARENT RESIDENCE OR FOUR-YEAR WAIVER, INCLUDE ALL
NECESSARY DOCUMENTATION TO SUPPORT YOUR WRITTEN STATEMENTS.  IF WE HAVE TO
REQUEST THIS INFORMATION, THE PROCESS WILL BE DELAYED. 


PARENT CONTACT INFORMATION


 


TYPES OF WAIVERS

 1. Four-Year Waiver:  The four-year waiver is for participants seeking varsity
    eligibility during their fifth year of high school.  When a student does not
    comply with the four-year rule because he/she has not met the requirements
    for graduation four years after his/her first entry into the ninth grade,
    and has not been able to participate in a specific activity for a season due
    to involuntary and unavoidable circumstances, that student may apply for
    this waiver.
    
    More Information: Constitution & Contest Rules, Section 405
 2. Parent Residence Waiver:  The parent residence waiver is for a student who
    is determined not to be in compliance with the parent residence rule,
    (living with a parent who is separated or married living apart or with a
    guardian), that student may apply for a wavier for varsity athletic
    participation.  If a student is attending school outside the attendance zone
    boundaries, where their parent(s) resides, the student may apply for this
    waiver for varsity athletic participation.
    
    More Information: Constitution & Contest Rules, Section 463

 3. Foreign Exchange Waiver (FES waiver):  The foreign exchange waiver is for a
    student studying in America on a J-1 Visa wishing to participate in varsity
    athletics, he/she may apply for this waiver.  A waiver to participate in
    junior varsity athletics, or any academic, drama or music competitions is
    not needed, but the student must comply with Section 400 of the Constitution
    and Contest Rules. 
    
    Note: Foreign Exchange Waiver applications must be submitted through the UIL
    Portal. Foreign Exchange Students are not eligible to apply for a
    Retroactive Waiver.  You can learn more about the requirements for an FES
    waiver at the bottom of the FAQ page.

    & Contest Rules, Section 465

 4. Retroactive Waiver:  The retroactive waiver is for a student who is
    ineligible to participate in varsity athletics and has participated in a
    contest(s), a student and/or school may apply for this waiver.  The
    Superintendent and the coach should notify the chairman of the District
    Executive Committee of the ineligible participant.  The chairman will
    provide instructions on the procedures of forfeiture of contests and
    applying for the retroactive waiver.
                   
    Note: Foreign Exchange Students are not eligible to apply for a Retroactive
    Waiver.

    for this wavier.  For 8th grade: If a student is 15 on or before September 1
    and has not enrolled in the ninth grade, he/she can apply for this waiver. 
    See Section 1400 (a) (3) of the UIL Constitution and Contest Rules for
    additional information on the requirements for this waiver.
    
    More Information: Constitution & Contest Rules, Section 1405
 6. High School Over-Age Waiver:  Only students that are currently in Special
    Education or 504 and identified as such prior to the end of his/her second
    year of high school can apply for this waiver.  All documentation should be
    sent to the Superintendent.  The Superintendent will forward all
    documentation to the chairman of the District Executive Committee who will
    verify the forms have been completed appropriately.   All documentation is
    then sent to the UIL for verification and information purposes only.  The
    UIL does not determine eligibility for high school over-age waivers.
    
    More Information: Constitution & Contest Rules, Section 446
