The NCAA Eligibility Center verifies the academic and amateur status of all student-athletes who wish to compete in Division I or II athletics. Visit www.eligibilitycenter.org  for the complete list of rules and registration.

College-bound student-athletes, who want to practice, compete and receive athletically related financial aid during their first year at a Division I or II school need to meet the following requirements:

•  Graduate from high school.

• Complete a minimum of 16 core courses for Division I or II.

• Earn a minimum required grade-point average in core courses.

• Request final amateurism certification from the NCAA Eligibility Center.

In addition to the above standards, students must:

•  Earn at least a 2.3 grade-point average in core courses.

• Successfully complete 10 of the 16 total required core courses before the start of their seventh semester in high school. Seven of the 10 courses must be successfully completed in English, math and science.

Students that earn at least a 2.0 GPA but not a 2.3 GPA will be eligible for practice in the first term and athletically related financial aid the entire year, but not competition. Freshmen who are academically successful in the first term will earn the ability to continue to practice for the remainder of the year.
