Once you enroll in 12 hrs or more (full time) your clock starts. Unless you are early enrollee. You then get 10 consecutive fall/spring semesters to get your 4 years of competition in

Correct, and the only things that stop the 5 year clock are military service and religious missions. Hardship waivers may also extend it to 6 years.

The progress to graduation chart is what is required to stay eligible within that time frame....i.e. to make sure athletes aren't just taking three hours per semester to stay on the team.
