ACADEMIC SERVICES
The NCAA Eligibility Center verifies the academic and amateur status of all student-athletes who wish to compete in Division I or II athletics.
College-bound student-athletes who want to practice, compete, and receive athletically related financial aid during their first year at a Division I or II school need to meet the following requirements:
- Graduate from high school.
- Complete a minimum of 16 core courses for Division I or II.
- Earn a minimum required grade-point average in core courses.
- Earn a qualifying test score on either the ACT or SAT.
- Request final amateurism certification from the NCAA Eligibility Center.
For Division I student-athletes who will enroll on August 1, 2016, and later, the requirements to compete in the first year will change. In addition to the above standards, students must:
- Earn at least a 2.3 grade-point average in core courses.
- Meet an increased sliding-scale standard (for example, an SAT score of 820 requires a 2.5 high school core course GPA)
- Complete 10 of the 16 total required core courses before the start of their seventh semester in high school. Seven of the 10 courses must be completed in English, math, and science.
Students who earn at least a 2.0 GPA but not a 2.3 GPA and meet the current sliding scale standard (for example, an SAT score of 1,010 requires a 2.025 high school core course GPA) will be eligible for practice in the first term and athletically related financial aid the entire year, but not competition. Freshmen who are academically successful in the first term will be able to continue to practice for the remainder of the year.
Division III colleges and universities set their own admission standards, and the NCAA does not set initial eligibility requirements in Division III.
