NCAA Requirements

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) governs collegiate athletics.  An important responsibility of this organization is to determine the eligibility of the college-bound student/athlete.  High school students who might be interested in participating in athletics at the collegiate level must submit to the NCAA Clearinghouse:  a Student Eligibility form, processing fee, copy of their high school transcript, and ACT or SAT test scores during their senior year.  Certification of eligibility will be determined by three elements, core courses, GPA, and ACT/SAT test scores.  Core courses are those courses that are college preparatory and found in the English, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Foreign Language departments.  After making a determination, the Clearinghouse will then notify the student and the college(s) of his/her choice.

For students entering any Division I or II colleges or university on or after August 1, 2008, your NCAA initial eligibility will be evaluated as described below.
