Responsibilities continued • Turn in completed forecasting sheet each year • Turn in the “Intent to Participate Form” to your guidance counselor (appendix D in course description book) • Track your core GPA starting with your freshman year using the “NCAA Eligibility Center Worksheet” (appendix E in the course description book)

  5. What is the NCAA • The National Collegiate Athletic Association was established in 1906 • It serves as the athletic governing body for more than 1,280 colleges and universities. • The member colleges and universities develop the rules and guidelines for athletic eligibility and athletic competition, not the NCAA. • The NCAA then acts as the enforcement agency for the colleges and universities. • The NCAA is committed to the student-athlete and to governing competition in a fair, safe and sportsmanlike manner.

  6. What is the NCAA Eligibility Center • Used to be called the NCAA Clearinghouse before November 2007 • Works with the NCAA to determine an incoming Freshman student’s eligibility for Division I and Division II athletics in the following two areas: • Evaluates benefits and activities as an amateur athlete to determine whether the student meets NCAA standards for amateurism certification • Evaluates student’s courses, grades and test scores to determine whether student qualifies and meets NCAA minimum academic standards

  7. Do you have to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center • Yes, if you want to be eligible to receive a scholarship and to participate in either Division I or Division II athletics as a freshman, the NCAA Eligibility Center must certify you for academics and amateurism status

  8. When should you register • At the beginning of your junior year • There is no deadline, but you must be certified as a qualifier before you can receive a scholarship

  9. How do you register • The only method to register is online. Go to www.ncaaclearinghouse.net • Follow the instructions to complete the transaction • Be sure to complete the Student Release Form and amateurism questionnaire • Make sure you send the eligibility center the registration fee ($50 for domestic students) • There is a possibility of a fee waiver. See your guidance counselor for information

  10. Is the Eligibility Center certification the same as college admission? • No, certification does not guarantee your admission to any Division I or Division II college • You must apply for college admission separately • It is possible to be accepted to a Division I or Division II school and not be certified as eligible

  11. What is the NAIA • The National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics was established in 1952 • It serves as the governing body for 360 colleges and universities • Like the NCAA, it acts as the enforcement agency for the colleges and universities

  12. What are Junior Colleges & Community Colleges • These are 2 year colleges • Can earn an associates degree upon graduation • Can participate in athletics for 2 years while attending college • Can transfer to 4 year college or university after 1 or 2 years and participate in athletics for remaining years

  13. Amateurism EligibilityRequirements Division I & II • In response to the NCAA membership's concern about amateurism issues, the Eligibility Center will determine the amateurism eligibility of all freshman student-athletes for initial participation at an NCAA Division I or II member institution. • When you register with the Eligibility Center, you will be asked about benefits and activities that might impact your status as an amateur.

  14. Amateurism Eligibility Requirements continued Division I & II • The information you provide about your athletic • participation will be reviewed and a determination will be made • as to whether your amateurism status should be certified or if • a penalty should be assessed before certification. • The following pre-collegiate enrollment activities will be reviewed: • 1. Contracts with a professional team. • 2. Salary for participating in athletics. • 3. Prize money. • 4. Play with professionals. • 5. Tryouts, practice or competition with a professional team. • 6. Benefits from an agent or prospective agent. • 7. Agreement to be represented by an agent. • 8.

  31. How to calculate your core GPA The eligibility center will calculate the grade-point average of your core courses on a 4.000 scale. • The best grades from your NCAA core courses will be used. • Grades from additional core courses you took will be used only if they improve your grade-point average. • The eligibility center will assign the following values to each letter grade: • A – 4 points, B - 3 points, C – 2 points, D – 1 point • Since Brush High School uses plus and minus grades (such as C+ or B–), the plus or minus will not be used to calculate your core-course GPA. The + or – will be dropped and only the letter grade will be used

  32. How to calculate your core GPA continued • Example 1 semester of classes Course Credit Grade Quality Points Biology .5 x B 1.5 Algebra 1 .5 x A 2 W. History .5 x C+ 1 Literature .5 x B- 1.5 Spanish .5 x B 1.5 Ceramics .5 x B 0 Phys. Ed. .25 x A 0 Total Quality Points 7.5 Total Quality Points divided by # of courses = GPA 7.5 / 2.5 = 3.0
