by a responsible medical officer of the University and pronounced
physically fit to do so.

more hours of undergraduate work or a course of study approved by the

No student on probation is eligible for such participation.
3. Only students who are regular or substitute members of representative
athletic teams (or student managers) are granted leaves of absence
to compete away from the University campus.
4. No student who is receiving remuneration from the University for
teaching or administrative services may compete on an intercollegiate team.
5. Members of athletic teams are allowed not more than eight days of
