  3. Pursuing College Athletics Where do most athletes end up- Division 1, Division 2 or Division 3?

  4. NCAA Eligibility Center Responsibilities • The NCAA Eligibility Center is responsible for determining the eligibility of every college-bound student-athlete in NCAA Divisions I and II using the following two areas: • Academic Certification. -Does the college-bound student-athlete meet the legislated minimum academic requirements? • Amateurism Certification. -Has the college-bound student-athlete jeopardized his or her amateur status?

  5. NCAA Initial Requirements and Procedures • There is a NCAA link on GVHS website found under the counseling Headingwhich explains in detail the process and provides helpful links that assist through the process • Registering • At the beginning of the student’s sophomore year: - Go to www.eligibilitycenter.org. - Select the link for college-bound student-athletes to enter. -Then click the “New Account” button at the top right of the – screen or the cell phone on the left side of the screen. -Follow the instructions to complete the registration process. • At the conclusion of the student’s junior year: - Request your transcript to be sent directly to the NCAA -Arrange for your SAT and/or ACT to be sent directly to the NCAA. Code is 9999. • At the conclusion of senior year (final certification), arrange for final transcript to be sent to NCAA. Arrange for all SAT and/or ACT scores to be sent to NCAA.

  6. How is the NCAA Core GPA Calculated? • The NCAA Eligibility Center calculates the grade-point average of a student’s core courses on a 4.000 scale. (A=4; B=3; C=2; D=1) • To determine points earned for each course, multiply the numeric grade value (4, 3, 2 or 1) by the amount of credit earned. A semester is awarded .5 unit of credit and a trimester is awarded .34 unit of credit. • The NCAA Eligibility Center does not use plus or minus grades when calculating core-course GPA. For example, grades of B+, B and B- will all be worth 3 quality points each. • If your high school uses a numeric scale, the high school needs to provide a conversion to a letter grade and communicate that to the NCAA Eligibility Center.

  7. What is a “Core Course” and which Great Valley Courses are approved by the NCAA? - A course that qualifies for high school graduation in one or more of the following: English, mathematics, natural or physical science, social science, foreign language or comparative religion or philosophy; - Is considered four-year college preparatory -Is taught at or above the high school’s regular academic level -For mathematics courses, is at the level of Algebra I or higher; and Is taught by a qualified instructor as defined by the appropriate academic authority

  8. Division 1 Core-Course Time Limitation Division I -From the time a student enters the ninth grade, he/she has four (4) years or eight (8) semesters to complete the core-course requirement. If the student fails to complete high school "on time" in eight semesters, core courses taken after the eighth semester will not be counted toward his/her NCAA academic-eligibility requirements. -“On time" also means that if the student’s high school graduation takes place June 1, the student must graduate June 1. If he/she does not graduate June 1 with the rest of his/her high school class, the student has not completed the requirements "on time." Division II -A student is permitted to use all core courses completed from his/her ninth grade year until the time of full-time collegiate enrollment.

  9. Division 2……….

  10. Division III • Unlike Divisions I and II, there is no uniform set of eligibility requirements for Division III schools. • Eligibility for admission, financial aid, practice and competition is determined by the college or university.

  11. Division 1 (New)For college-bound student-athletes enrolling full time at an NCAA Division I college or university on or after August 1, 2018, there are three possible initial-eligibility outcomes: 1. Qualifier = competition, athletics aid (scholarship), and practice the first year. 2. Academic redshirt = athletics aid the first year, practice in first regular academic term (semester or quarter). 3. Nonqualifier = no athletics aid, practice or competition the first year.
