CSF MEMBER QUALIFICATIONS
Following each semester's grading period, students can apply for membership. Students are not automatically inducted into CSF; they must apply for membership each semester.
CSF Membership is based on scholarship and gained after qualifying grades are earned. Each semester is based on the previous semester report cards. In order to become a member, the student must submit an application each semester the student is eligible. Applications are accepted at the start of each semester for about two weeks. A point system specified in the CSF State By-Laws establishes the membership requirements.
- a "D" or "F" /no pass in any subject disqualifies students for that semester
