Student-Athlete Retention Program

(S.A.R.P.)

The Reedley College athletic teams have an athlete retention

program called the Student-Athlete Retention Program or

S.A.R.P. The S.A.R.P. was established to monitor the academic

progress of each student-athlete, and prepare each student-

athlete to transfer to a four-year institution academically

and athletically. All student-athletes must participate in this

program while they are members of any RC athletic team.

All students entering have two years of eligibility at the

community college level and must be enrolled in 12 units while

competing. Nine of those 12 units must be in academic units.

A student athlete must maintain a 2.0 grade point average and

pass 24 units to participate as a sophomore.

Publications

Students have the opportunity to work on the annual literary

magazine, Symmetry, which is published by students in select

English courses, and the student newspaper,

Tiger Print

produced through journalism classes.

Music Activities

Reedley College performs for a variety of college and

community events. Music groups include both instrumental

and vocal. Included are two choral groups and small

ensembles. All performing ensembles present concerts on

campus and do touring.

Beginning classes in piano and voice are available for those

without previous experience.
