14 Mystery of the NCAA Eligibility Center 16 Core Course Requirements for D1 16 Core Course Requirements for D2 Only 1 core course can be made up over the summer AFTER graduation, provided the PSA graduates with their class on time.

15 Mystery of the NCAA Eligibility Center Acceptance of online credit recovery classes for D1 and D2 has become very restrictive

16 Mystery of the NCAA Eligibility Center 1. Courses 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. 2. 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, exchanging of s between the student and teacher, feedback on assignments, and the opportunity for the teacher to engage the student in individual instruction. 3. 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. 4. Nontraditional courses should be clearly identified as such on the high school transcript. Source: NCAA

19 Core Course Requirements Class of 2016 and beyond The 10 core classes are locked in for purposes of calculating core GPA. A repeat of one of the 10 locked in core classes will not be used if taken after the seventh semester begins. Of the 10 core course completed, 7 must be in the area of English, math or science. New sliding scale represents a 180 point increase in SAT and 14 average point increase in ACT scores for full eligibility for D1.

20 Core Course Requirements NCAA Worksheet Core Course Credit x Grade = Quality Points Core Course Credits equal 1,.5, or.33 Numerical grade values are 4(A), 3(B), 2(C) or 1(D) If the NCAA has approved a weighted scale for a course, an additional value, between.01 and 1, would be added based on the grade earned and each high school s grading standards

21 Core Course Requirements NCAA Worksheet 1. Add the Quality Points for each Core Course ( =11.55) 2. Divide by the total number of Core Course Credits (11.55/4) 3. The result is the NCAA Core Course GPA (2.89)

many different numerical conversion scales for letter grades: A

29 Scholarship Myth There is no such thing as a 4-year Full Ride * ALL athletic scholarships are 1-year renewable deals for D2 *D1 schools now have the option to guarantee more than 1 year

34 What is the NLI? National Letter of Intent DI and DII schools are members Voluntary Provides a 1-year guarantee*^ Stops the recruiting process * Must meet academic eligibility requirements ^ D1 programs may now provide more than 1-year guarantees Source: NLI

35 How can I get out of an NLI? It s not easy Lose 1 year of eligibility (basic penalty) Basic penalty can be waived or reduced by asking for a complete release from the institution, which the institution has the right to deny You sign an NLI with the institution, not the coach

36 Have your kids ask this question If the college you are researching did not offer your sport...would you still consider attending that school?
