Literary Event Eligibility

Each student may test in no more than one State Rally Literary Event.
Students must be currently enrolled – or have been enrolled – in a course during the current school year to be eligible to participate in District and State Rally competition.
- (Policy statement adopted by the 1997 General Assembly of Principals)
- Exception: Schools offering courses on alternating yearly or semester basis may enter students who have completed Carnegie credits in those courses.
Students repeating a course for a higher grade may not participate. However, students repeating a course due to failure are eligible to participate.
Students must be taking a Carnegie unit in the school in which they are enrolled.
Students must meet the requirements for the Carnegie unit in the setting of the LHSRA active member school (students enrolled in a correspondence course may participate).
Students may not be native or primary speakers of a foreign language if they wish to compete in a foreign language event. Students whose main language at home is other than English are considered to be native speakers of that particular language, and schools must certify that students are non-native speakers of the target language.
Students must not represent their school more than once in the same event.
Students should not seek to gain an unfair advantage by competing in events for which advanced credit has been earned or having been earned for courses in advanced standing (e.g. competing in Physical Science after completing a course in Chemistry).
