The Bodda Getta

Would think you would have to carry a full time load of classes which is a minimum of 12 credit hours.

You must be enrolled as a full-time student (12 hours or more), and you must be working towards a degree. That means that if you are an undergrad student, all the classes that you take must be able to count towards your degree (you can't take electives just to be enrolled in 12+ hours of classes if you've already used all of your allocated general elective hours and you still have core and major classes left to take). If you've already received your undergrad, you must enrolled as a graduate student and all classes that you are enrolled in must be able to count towards your master's degree. There is no way to get around any of this.

Electives! gotta love em!!!!!

i am looking to either play soccer or tennis.

I'm positive. Bowling is a physical education class. If your major doesn't require that class, it falls into the elective category. Every degree program (with the exception of a few majors; and unless you are working on a minor) usually has around 30-36 hours of electives. As long as the student-athlete hasn't used all of those hours, they can take any class they want at Auburn that they meet the pre-reqs for. But once those general elective hours are gone, they must be enrolled in classes that are core/major classes prescribed by their selected major. For example, to get a degree in Public Administration, the requirements are as follows: 1) the University Core requirements (41 credits); 2) the foreign language requirement of the College of Liberal Arts (8 credits); 3) background “supporting” courses (6-9 credits); general elective requirements (33-36 credits); and 5) the Public Administration Major requirements (33-36 credits).

Well, I wish you the best of luck. Those guys are really good and will give you all the serious competition you're looking for. If you want it badly enough, you can make it happen. And if you do, I'm sure I'll be seeing you around. Good luck.
