A very important note to make is that each university has their own academic requirements. Just because you are cleared through the NCAA does not mean you can get into a certain school. Make sure you check the school's academic requirements also, you need to meet both sets of academic requirements.
Completing Core Course Requirements
While students are completing their Core-courses, the following requirements must also be met:
- Must complete 10 core courses before seventh semester of high school (grade 11).
- Of the 10 core courses completed, seven must be in the area of English, math, or science.
- These 10 core courses become “locked in” for the purpose of GPA calculation.
- A repeat of one of the “locked in” courses will not be used if taken after grade 11.
- If a student graduates on time in these eight semesters, with his or her ninth grade class, that student may use one additional course taken within one year after graduation and before full-time collegiate enrollment to help meet NCAA initial-eligibility requirements.
Note: It is important to note here that while the student is working to meet core course requirements for the NCAA, he/she needs to be aware that he/she also need to meet the post-secondary requirements of the school in question.
