To qualify, student-athletes must maintain a 3.0 GPA or higher either cumulative or the two previous semesters and must have participated in 20 percent of their team's scheduled contests. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible in their first year of academic residence. Senior student-athletes who have participated for a minimum of two years and meet all the criteria except percent of participation are also eligible.

Houston student-athletes excelled in the classroom during the Spring 2024 semester with 10 programs achieving a term grade-point average (GPA) of 3.0 or higher on the way to a 3.17 term GPA overall as a department.
More than 200 Cougars notched a term GPA of 3.0 or higher with 56 student-athletes graduating in the spring. Women's Cross Country led the charge, posting a 3.77 term GPA, for the highest of any program during the 2023-24 academic year.
