If you are planning to enroll in college as a freshman and you want to participate in Division I or II athletics you must be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. Registration must be done online at http://www.ncaaclearinghouse.net/. The NCAA charges $50.00 for this service. For more information and to request transcripts, please see Ms. Mulnix in the College and Career Center.

To be certified by the Clearinghouse, you must:

Graduate from High School: You should apply for certification in your junior year if you are sure you wish to participate in athletics as a freshman. The Clearinghouse will issue a preliminary certification report when you have all your materials submitted.

Grade Point Average: Earn a minimum required GPA average on a 4.00 scale in a core curriculum of at least 16 academic courses (Division I), which were successfully completed during grades 9 through 12. Only courses that satisfy the NCAA definition of a core course can be used to calculate your NCAA GPA. No special values are allowed for "+" or "-" grades. The chart below shows what your core courses must include.
