NCAA DI and DII Core GPA Calculator Sheet

The NCAA Eligibility Center requires that you complete your core courses with a minimum GPA of 2.000. This is NOT the same as your overall high school GPA, since your high school GPA includes all of the courses you have taken, whether or not they are approved as core courses. Your core course GPA is calculated using only the core courses you have completed that are listed on your high school's list of approved core courses. Please click the link above if you need help calculating your core GPA.

GPA, SAT, and ACT RequirementsA combined SAT score is calculated by adding reading and math sub scores. An ACT sum score is calculated by adding English, math, reading and science sub scores. You may take the SAT or ACT an unlimited number of times before you enroll full-time in college. If you take either test more than once, the best sub score from different tests are used to meet initial eligibility requirements. The link above has the GPA and test score requirements for DI and DII eligibility.

Transfer Students

If you attended a high school other than Roland-Story High School, request that your transcript be sent from every high school that you attended. Please request that your former high school(s) send your official transcript directly to the NCAA or NAIA Eligibility Center.
