Students may apply for CSF beginning Spring semester of freshman year.
Membership granted for a certain semester is based on the previous semester grades.
Any membership based on freshman year grades grants the student "Associate Member status." These semesters of membership do not count towards Gold Seal status.
Explanation for the use of summer school courses taken from the CSF Handbook:
"Summer school courses may only be used in the computation of semester membership eligibility only if the student has not taken sufficient List I and List II courses during the previous semester." Article IV, Section 13
"A student must have taken a minimum of 3 courses from Lists I and II; at least 2 of the 3 courses must be from List I" Article IV, Section 7
Gold Seal Bearer Membership requires 4 semesters of membership, starting with membership based on sophomore grades (Spring Semester of 10th grade). One semester of membership must be during senior year. There is also a requirement of 20 hours of community service.
You may either stop by during support, nutrition, or lunch (not during class time) to view your membership records or send Mr. Busby an email requesting the information.
