A note from the NCAA on college academics

"To truly benefit from college, student-athletes have to succeed in more places than on the field. The NCAA provides opportunities to learn, compete and grow. "

Student-Athlete Eligibility

Academics

Incoming student-athletes in Divisions I and II are subject to academic initial-eligibility standards, which take into account standardized test scores, number of core courses taken in high school and the grades earned in those core courses. In addition to NCAA requirements, they also must also meet the unique acceptance requirements of the university they plan to attend (those requirements may exceed NCAA standards).

Division I student-athletes are also subject to progress-toward-degree rules that require them to advance toward graduation each year.

Division III institutions hold student-athletes to the same overall standards for the institution in which the student-athlete is enrolling.

Students and Parents are responsible for ensuring that students are taking NCAA approved courses throughout high school.

The NCAA approved Core Course List can be viewed in the High School Portal by entering Lancaster High School's CEEB Code: 362880.
