If you want to participate in athletics or receive an athletics
scholarship during your first year, you must:
• Graduate from high school;
• Complete these 16 core courses:
- 4 years of English
- 3 years of math (Algebra 1 or higher)
- 2 years of natural or physical science (including one year of lab science if offered by your high school)
- 1 extra year of English, math, or natural or physical science
- 2 years of social science
- 4 years of extra core courses (from any category above, or foreign language, nondoctrinal religion or
philosophy);
• Earn a minimum required grade-point average in your core courses; and
• Earn a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches your core-course grade-point average and test
score sliding scale (for example, a 2.400 core-course grade-point average needs an 860 SAT).
Requirement to graduate with your high school class
You must complete the 16 core-course requirement in eight semesters, which begins when you initially
started high school with your ninth-grade class. If you graduate from high school in eight semesters
with your class, you may use one core course completed in the year after graduation (summer or
academic year) to meet NCAA Division I eligibility requirements. You may complete the core course at a
location other than the high school from which you graduated and may initially enroll full time at a
collegiate institution at any time after completion of the core course.
Division I Qualifier
Being a qualifier entitles you to:
• Practice or compete for your college or university during your first year of college;
• Receive an athletics scholarship during your first year of college; and
• Play four seasons in your sport if you maintain your eligibility from year to year.
