Academic Information for CCS High School Athletes: 

• To maintain high school athletic eligibility in CCS, you must maintain a minimum 2.0 GPA for EVERY grade card in at least FIVE full credit classes EVERY quarter BEFORE and DURING your sport season.  So, take a full load of classes and shoot for at least B's in every class in every quarter.  You don't want to come up short!

• APEX, VCAP and other online credit recovery/advancement courses CANNOT be used for eligibility in MOST cases. You must do your best in your IN-PERSON classes!

• College Credit Plus course CAN be used as part of your five credits to play sports.

• Early release or late arrival during your senior year usually means you will not have enough credits to qualify for school sports!

• Please see your school counselor, coach and/or Athletic Director with questions about high school courses, grades and athletic eligibility.

Ohio High School Athletic Association: Know the rules!

Preparing for Collegiate Athletics :

• All your academic core (English, math, science, social studies, world languages) grades count, beginning in 9th grade!

• Have dreams of competing at the DI or DII levels in college?  Better maintain a 2.3 in your academic core courses (that doesn't include P.E. or art...), or you will be sitting on the bench. 

• ACT/SAT test scores are still optional when for NCAA eligibility, but still try hard on these tests- and focus on those academic core grades starting freshman year!

• Take/retake your classes IN PERSON, not online (APEX/online courses cannot be used for NCAA eligibility!). 

• Make sure to work hard in your sport and in your academics if you want to be a college athlete.  More on collegiate athletics HERE.
