NCAA Guidelines for JuniorsSlide2

Are You Interested in College Athletics?

All Division I and Division II athletes must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse/Eligibility Center. Student athletes must be declared eligible to participate in college athletics. Most Division I students receive athletic scholarships, and many Division II students receive athletic scholarships. Division III athletes are not required to register with the NCAA, and do not receive athletic scholarships. Slide3

Junior Year Timeline

At the beginning of junior year, register at www.eligibilitycenter.orgThere are online tutorials and videos with directions on how to register. There are also many handouts on your next steps as a student athlete. Slide6

NCAA Registration

It is important to register with the NCAA before you take your first official visit. Visits must be conducted after the opening day of classes your senior year. The NCAA recommends that your registration with the NCAA Eligibility Center be completed the summer after junior year. There is a $60 fee to process the registration. Vouchers for this fee can be obtained from your counselor.Slide7

Selecting High School Courses

DDPA juniors will register for senior courses in February of junior year. More often than not, athletes are not turned away from Division I or Division II scholarships because of ACT scores-but because of incomplete transcripts or a shortage of required high school courses. Selecting high school courses is extremely important in becoming and maintaining NCAA eligibility. Discuss your NCAA aspirations with your counselor. Slide8

Division I and Division II requirements differ slightly; please see the following chart for specifics. For Division I competition, 10 of the 16 requirements must be completed before senior year.

GPA RequirementsSlide11

Minimum Grades

Beginning August 1, 2016, you must earn at least a 2.300 GPA in NCAA core courses to be eligible to compete in your first year of college. Currently, it is a 2.0 minimum.Only courses that appear on your high school’s list of NCAA courses will be used to calculate your GPA for NCAA eligibility purposes. Once ten core courses are “locked in” prior to the start of your seventh semester, you can’t take those classes over again to improve your GPA.Questions? Visit www.grades2.3.orgSlide12

GPA and Test Scores

The NCAA uses a sliding scale to compare high school GPA and ACT or SAT scores. The combinations allow students to compete in Division I and Division II athletics. The NCAA does not use + or – when evaluating grades. The NCAA will recalculate student GPAs considering only the NCAA required classes. Slide13

NCAA Sliding Scale

Each student can check their ACT/SAT scores against their high school GPA to determine eligibility. To see the complete sliding scale, visit www.ncaa.org. Slide14

Academic Help at DDPA

DDPA offers after school tutoring in math, science, English, and social studies. Check with your core teacher for days and locations!Please visit the Counseling Office for specific tutoring assistance. Slide15

Power School

DDPA utilizes Power School to access grades and attendance. Remember to maintain your Power School account and check grades frequently. Slide16

Testing and Scores

Refer to the NCAA sliding scale to match test score requirements to high school GPA.The ACT is a sum of the English, mathematics, science, and reading sections of the test. The SAT includes only critical reading and math sections. Test scores MUST be reported directly from the test. Use code 9999 each time students test to send scores directly. Slide17

The NCAA only considers official score reports directly from the testing centers. Scores reported by the student or high school are not considered official.

To report scores directly to the NCAA, enter code 9999 on each ACT or SAT test taken. This will ensure that your scores are sent directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center. Test Score ReportingSlide18

Transcripts

All seniors will be required to send transcripts to the NCAA twice during senior year. At WBHS, students send transcripts via Parchment.com. Students will create a parchment.com account during course registration junior year. Slide19

Summer School

If a student needs to retake a course, it must be completed before senior year. Register for summer school courses before the end of senior year. Slide20
