Nev. Admin. Code § 385B.738 - Foreign exchange students and international students; penalty
1. The provisions of this section govern the
eligibility of a foreign exchange student.
2. The Association will allow a foreign
exchange student to participate in a sanctioned sport if the foreign exchange
student:
(a) Is sponsored by and placed with a
host family in the United States by an international student exchange program
that:
(1) Is approved for listing by the
Council on Standards for International Educational Travel or its successor
organization;
(2) Is recognized by
the United States Department of State; and
(3) Assigns students to host families in a
manner which ensures that a student, school or other interested party is unable
to influence the assignment of the student to a host family for athletic or
other purposes or in any other manner which ensures that the student is not
chosen or placed because of his or her athletic interests or
abilities;
(b) Possesses
a J-1 Visa issued by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services of
the Department of Homeland Security;
(c) Attends the school on the first day of
the semester in which the first day of practice for the sanctioned sport is
conducted and enrolls in a foreign exchange program at the school that is
conducted for at least 1 semester;
(d) Is eligible in not more than 1 school
year at any school or combination of schools in this State or any other
state;
(e) Has not completed the
12th grade or its equivalent in the United States or any other country;
and
(f) Complies with any other
requirements for eligibility of the Association during the period in which he
or she is a pupil enrolled in a school.
3. If a foreign exchange student transfers to
another school during the school year because of a change in residence by the
student and the host family with whom he or she was placed at the time of
enrollment in the original school, the transfer does not affect the student's
eligibility to participate in a sanctioned sport. If the transfer occurs
because the student is placed with another host family, the student is
ineligible to participate in a sanctioned sport at the school to which he or
she transfers for the remainder of the school year.
4. If a school or coach of a school places or
arranges for the placement of a student in violation of any provision of this
section, the student is ineligible to participate in a sanctioned sport and the
Association may impose a penalty against the school or coach pursuant to this
chapter.
5. The eligibility of a
foreign exchange student to participate in a sanctioned sport pursuant to this
section terminates upon his or her completion of the period during which he or
she participates in the foreign exchange program.
6. For the purposes of this section:
(a) A foreign exchange student shall be
deemed to be placed with a host family if:
(1)
The school that the student attends was not involved in the selection or
assignment of the student; and
(2)
The principal office for the sponsoring organization approves the placement of
the student.
(b) A
sanctioned sport which is conducted during the fall season of a school year
shall be deemed to begin during the first semester of that school year
regardless of whether the first day of practice for the sanctioned sport is
held before the beginning of that school year.

student" has the meaning ascribed to it in
