(No remedial, Special Education or Compensatory Courses will be accepted) • Students with Documented Learning Disabilities and an Individualized Educational Placement (IEP) , must have their disability documentation sent to the NCAA Clearinghouse in order to be granted the opportunity to have their transcript evaluated with Special Education considerations and identified Learning Support Core Courses.

  7. Common Questions Q- How do I know if my son or daughter qualifies? A- Meet with the high school guidance counselor and encourage your child to take a full course load of the most challenging courses he/she is eligible to take according to the PAHS Course of Study Guide checking prerequisites.

  8. Q- How the NCAA Determines a student/athletes GPA? • A - Adding up all identified “Core Courses” and their academic equivalent and dividing by the number of courses…. • Out of Bob’s 16 “Core Courses” his grades were as follows…. • ( 3 – A’s ) = each A is worth 4 points • ( 5 – B’s ) = each B is worth 3 points • ( 6 – C’s ) = each C is worth 2 points • ( 2 – D’s ) = each D is worth 1 point.

  9. Bob’s Core Course GPA • 3 – A’s = 4+4+4 = 12 • 5 – B’s = 3+3+3+3+3 = 15 • 6 – C’s = 2+2+2+2+2+2 = 12 • 2 – D’s = 1+1 = 2 • Add 12+15+12+2 = 41 / 16 = 2.56 GPA • That Core GPA of 2.56 MUST now be matched with SAT/ACT sum score on the NCAA sliding scale. • * Bob’s High School GPA and NCAA Clearinghouse GPA are not the same.
