Use the Eligibility Application Form (handbook 943.0) to request an exemption, or for athletes who do not fall under the outlined rules. Applications are accepted throughout the school year, with no deadline. The Eligibility Officer reviews each application case by case. Applications are usually processed within 3-5 business days, and BC School Sports invoices the submitting school after a ruling.
