I am going into my senior (4th) year at a D3 institution, and after this year I will still have a cross country season (medical redshirt) and an indoor track season of eligibility left. I have confirmed that I do definitely have both seasons of eligibility, and I have 2 questions. First, if I remain full-time this year and leave one necessary course for graduation out of my schedule, can I take only that course next year and be eligible? I think it has something to do with being degree-seeking, and I have heard that as long as it is a course that I need for my degree, I do not have to be taking 12 credits to compete a fifth year. My second question is, if I do take that course and it allows me to compete, do you know if I need to be enrolled for a fall and spring semester to compete in indoor track? It starts during the fall semester at my school and finishes in the spring so I am not sure if that would work. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!
