College-bound athletes also need to be sure that they have the kind and number of courses required to meet NCAA eligibility requirements. Students should register with the NCAA eligibility center by the end of sophomore year. For NCAA information, go to NCAA-Academics to see which of our courses are authorized core courses. In addition, the NCAA uses a sliding scale with regard to GPA and SAT/ACT scores. Please visit NCAA.org for detailed information regarding GPA, core courses, and college entrance exam scores.
