Non-Traditional Students – What is new this year?

A student only needs to register their intent once at a school for each sport in which the student wishes to participate (2013-14 Policy 16.7).

How is this done?

For Home Education and Non-Member Private School students, the EL7 and EL12 Form, respectively, needs to be complete only one time for each school and sport(s). If a student chooses to change schools or sport(s) after initially submitting these forms, then a new form must be done.

For Charter School, Special/Alternative School or FLVS-FT Public Program students the GA4, EL2, EL3 and EL3CH Forms are used.

What Form on C2CSchools is used?

For those Non-Traditional students who were previously reported to the FHSAA last year on an EL13S Form and who are returning to participate in the same sport(s) that were listed on the EL13S Form, then those students will be reported on the new EL13R Form. This form allows the school to list up to 20 students so do not submit it until the last possible opportunity (i.e. before the first regular season contest for the sport) to maximize the form’s usefulness.

Foreign Students – What is new this year?

The registration procedure for certain “Other International and Immigrant” students has been simplified.

What is different?

If foreign student who does not have an F-1 or J-1 Visa (these are Youth Exchange students) has resided in the U.S. with his/her parent(s) or legal guardian(s) for the previous two consecutive full school years AND started and completed the 8th grade, or earlier, for the first time in a U.S. school then no special paperwork is required (2013-14 Policy 17.2) (Note: the EL2, EL3, EL3CH and GA4 are still applicable).

Otherwise, as with the F-1 and J-1 Visa students, the EL4 Form registration procedure must be followed (2013-14 Policy 17.3).

15



Foreign Students – What else is new this year?

There are changes related to the host families for F-1 and J-1 Visa (Youth Exchange) students.

Youth Exchange students can now reside with families of student athletes regardless of the gender or sport(s) in which those student athletes participate (2013-14 Policy 17.1.2(c)).

However, a host family can only host one Youth Exchange student of the same gender and sport in any given year (2013-14 Policy 17.1.2.1).
