new student eligibility regulations
NCAA Initial Eligibility Regulations have changed The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is the governing body of most College Sport. Your first step towards an Athletic Scholarship is registering with the NCAA Clearinghouse. If you are going to apply for an athletic scholarship in the fall of 2003 or after then you must read the following information.
Please note that the new standards only relate to NCAA eligibility, each college sets it's own standards that are sometimes stricter than those set by the NCAA. For students entering any college or university during the 2003-04 or 2004-05 academic years, your NCAA initial eligibility will be evaluated under the new rule as described below. If you are not eligible under the new rule, the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse will automatically re-evaluate your academic record under the former rule to obtain your best possible result. YOU CANT MIX AND MATCH RESULTS For example, you cannot use the 13 core-course standard of the old rule and the sliding scale from the new rule. For students entering any college or university on or after August 1, 2005, your NCAA initial eligibility will be evaluated using the new rule only. THE NEW RULE: The number of core courses is increased from 13 to 14. This additional core course may be in any area: English, mathematics, natural/physical science, social science, foreign language, nondoctrinal religion/ philosophy, or computer science. The breakdown of core course requirements is listed below. |
OLD RULE:
13 Core Courses:
4 years of English.
2 years of mathematics (Algebra I or higher ) .
2 years of natural/physical science (1year of lab if offered by high school ) .
1 year of additional English, mathematics or natural/physical science.
2 years of social science.
2 years of additional courses ( from any area above or foreign language, nondoctrinal religion/ philosophy, computer science ).NEW RULE:
14 Core Courses:
4 years of English.
2 years of mathematics ( Algebra I or higher ) .
2 years of natural/physical science ( 1year of lab if offered by high school ) .
1 year of additional English, mathematics or natural/physical science.
2 years of social science.
3 years of additional courses ( from any area above or foreign language, nondoctrinal religion/philosophy, computer science ).
Computer science is being eliminated as an acceptable core-course area for students first entering any college or university on or after August 1, 2005. Students entering college on or after August 1, 2005, may not use any computer science courses in meeting the core course requirements.
The "sliding scale" has also been extended. It will now allow a higher core GPA to reduce the SAT component. A 2.5 core GPA will still require a 820 SAT score, a higher core GPA of 2.75 GPA would need a 720 SAT score, a 3.0 core GPA would only require a 620 SAT score and a 3.55 core GPA would require just a 400 SAT score. The NCAA states that their research indicates that core class grades were the best indicators of academic success during a student-athlete’s freshman year. The NCAA has also announced that they might also increase the overall number of required core classes to 15 or 16 in the near future.
You must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse and you must qualify. If you don't you will not be eligible to play or practice during your freshman year.
