COLLEGE ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY - NCAA
Updated 03-02-2016 jkb
If you intend to participate in NCAA Divisions I or II athletics as a college freshman, you must register with the NCAA Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse prior to graduation. Follow the application directions on the Clearinghouse website: www.eligibilitycenter.org. The Clearinghouse will issue a preliminary certification report when you have submitted all of your materials. The chart below shows what your courses must include at a minimum.
Only courses that satisfy the NCAA definition of a core course can be used to calculate your NCAA GPA. No special values are allowed for “+” or “-“ grades. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that NCAA eligibility requirements have been met. For an up-to-date listing of ISD #728 NCAA approved courses by high school, visit the NCAA Eligibility Center Web site and use the following codes:
ERHS:240720 RHS:242110 ZHS:242764
https://web1.ncaa.org/hsportal/exec/hsAction. The NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse uses this list of courses in establishing the certification status of student-athletes from your school. (If a core class is not listed or you have further questions, please see your guidance counselor.)
After graduation, the Clearinghouse will review your final transcript to make a final certification decision according to NCAA standards.
