Period of Eligibility
The period of eligibility for a contestant is as follows:
1. A student who meets the Basic Requirements and first began post-secondary
studies in 2002 or later is eligible to compete.
2. A student who meets the Basic Requirements and was born in 1983 or
later is eligible to compete.

Coaches may petition to extend the Period of Eligibility under the following
circumstances:
A coach may petition the ICPC Eligibility Committee to extend the Period
of Eligibility for a student whose full-time studies have been interrupted
or extended. This includes military or civilian service, illness, work/studies,
or personal reasons.
The coach must demonstrate that such an extension would not provide an
unfair advantage to the team.
A petition will be approved routinely if the student meets the Basic
Requirements and has not completed more than the equivalent of eight semesters
of full-time study as of the date of the regional contest.
To make such a request, please check the icpc
website.
