  1. Eligibility Standards Rodney Garner

  2. Clearinghouse Information • 185,000 students register every year and only about 90,000 are certified • Common core requirements will impact all student athletes

  3. Core Courses • NCAA Division I requires 16 core courses • NCAA Division I will require 10 core courses to be completed prior to the seventh semester (seven of the ten must be a combination of English, Math, or Natural or Physical Science that meet the distribution requirements outlined on the next slide). These 10 courses become “locked in” at the seventh semester and cannot be retaken for grade improvement. • Beginning August 1,2016 it will be possible for Division I college-bound student-athletes to still receive athletics aid and the ability to practice with the team if he or she fails the 10 course requirement, but would not be able to compete. • NCAA Division II currently requires 14 core courses • Division II will require 16 core courses for students enrolling on or after August 1, 2013

  4. Division I 16 Core Courses

  5. Division II 16 Core Courses(2013 and After)

  6. Test Scores and GPA • Division I uses a sliding scale to match test scores and core grade-point averages (GPA). • Be sure to look at your high school’s list of NCAA courses on the NCAA Eligibility Center’s website. Only courses that appear on your school’s list of NCAA courses will be used in the calculation of core GPA. Use the list as a guide.

  7. Sliding Scale A • Division I students enrolling full time before August 1,2016 should use sliding scale A to determine eligibility to receive athletics aid, practice and competition during the first year.

  8. Sliding Scale B • Division I GPA required to receive athletics aid and practice on or after August 1,2016, is 2.000 (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on sliding scale B). • Division I GPA required to be eligible for competition on or after August 1,2016, is 2.300 (corresponding test-score requirements are listed on sliding scale B).

  9. New NCAA Division I Eligibility Standards • The initial-eligibility standards for NCAA Division I college-bound student-athletes are changing. The changes will affect college-bound student-athletes first entering a Division I college or university on or after August 1,2016. • Terms you should know: • Full Qualifier • Academic Redshirt • Nonqualifier

  10. Full Qualifier • A college-bound student-athlete may receive athletics aid (scholarship), practice, and compete in the first year of enrollment at the Division I college or university. • The requirements for full qualification are that a student-athlete must: • Complete 16 core courses (same distribution as in past) • 10 of the 16 courses must be completed before the seventh semester (senior year) of high school. • 7 of the 10 courses must be English, Math, or Science • Have a minimum core course GPA of 2.300. • Grades earned in the 10 required courses required before the senior year are “locked in” for purposes of GPA calculation. • A repeat of the one “locked in” courses will not be used to improve the GPA if taken after the seventh semester begins. • Meet the competition sliding scale requirement of GPA and ACT/SAT score (this is a new scale with increased GPA/text score requirements). • Graduate from high school.

  11. Academic Redshirt • A college-bound student-athlete may receive athletics aid (scholarship) in the first year of enrollment and may practice in the first regular academic term (semester or quarter) but may NOT compete in the first year of enrollment. After the first term is complete, the college-bound student-athlete must be academically successful at his/her college or university to continue to practice for the rest of the year. • The requirements for academic redshirt are that a student-athlete: • Complete 16 core courses (same distribution as in the past). • Have a minimum core course GPA of 2.000. • Meet the academic redshirt sliding scale requirement of GPA and ACT/SAT score. • Graduate from high school

  12. Nonqualifier • A college-bound student-athlete cannot receive athletics aid (scholarship), cannot practice, and cannot compete in the first year of enrollment. • A nonqualifier is a college-bound student athlete who fails to meet the standards for a qualifier or for an academic redshirt.

  13. Important Changes Regarding Nontraditional Courses • The rules regarding software-based credit recovery, virtual, online, independent study and correspondence courses have changed. These types of courses, which are identified by the NCAA eligibility center as nontraditional courses, must meet new guidelines in order to be used for college-bound student-athletes who are planning to attend an NCAA Division I or II college or university.

  14. What are the changes? • Nontraditional courses must meet the following: • Courses that are taught through distance learning, online, credit recovery, etc. need to be comparable in length, content, and rigor to courses taught in a traditional classroom setting. Students may not skip lessons or test out of modules. The course must be four-year college preparatory. • All courses must include ongoing access between the instructor and student, as well as regular interaction for purposes of teaching, evaluating, and providing assistance. This may include, for example, the exchanging of e-mails between the student and teacher, feedback on assignments, and the opportunity for the teacher to engage the student in individual instruction. • Any course taken must have a defined time period for completion. For example, it should be clear whether the course is meant to be taken for an entire semester or during a more condensed time frame, such as six weeks, etc. • Nontraditional courses should be clearly identified as such on the high school transcript.

  15. When does this rule take effect? • Division I • The rule applies to courses completed on or after August 1, 2010, for students first entering an NCAA Division I college or university on or after August 1,2010. Nontraditional courses completed prior to August 1,2010 will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
