- Varsity Athletes: athletes are only allowed to participate in the offseason of their sport. Athletes must take a gap year to be eligible to play in their sport as well. This applies to all scholarship players, walk-ons, and squad members.
- Professional Athletes: athletes need two full calendar years to have passed since they have been released or retired.
Guest pass holders cannot participate in Intramural Activities.
