School*
WIAA rules and regulations that apply to domestic students apply to foreign students, however, the residency requirement may be waived according to the following provision: Rules of Eligibility - Article II, Section 3 -- "The residency requirement may be waived for one year, upon request, for students involved in foreign exchange programs that have received a 'Full' listing status by CSIET. For students who are 'directly placed' through an exchange program, students who are placed through an exchange program not affiliated with CSIET, or students who will not be in attendance for at least one complete semester from start to finish, eligibility will be limited to nonvarsity competition." There is no provision for more than one year of eligibility for an exchange student.

In addition, foreign exchange students who transfer from one school to another should be regarded as ineligible for varsity competition, the same as any other transfer student (see Rules of Eligibility, Article II, Sections 4 and 5).

All foreign students must have a physical conducted in the United States prior to participating in practice or competition at a member school.
