  5. Your Journey Begins By……….

  6. Registering with the NCAA Initial Eligibility Center Who? High school students who plan on playing intercollegiate sports at an NCAA Division 1 or 2 institution or after transferring from a 2-year community college.

  7. Registering with the NCAA Initial Eligibility Center • How? • Online- www.eligibilitycenter.org • The only method to register is online. • Recruits can login and update information any time. • Registration Fee of $90 (fee waiver?). • All sections must be completed, including payment, before technically “registered.”

  8. Registering with the NCAA Initial Eligibility Center • When? • NO LATER THAN YOUR JUNIOR YEAR - After your junior year (6 semesters of high school), have your high school send an OFFICIAL copy of your transcript(s). If you have attended any other high schools, make sure a transcript is sent to the Eligibility Center from each high school. • During your Senior year, have your high school guidance counselor send a final transcript with proof of graduation to the Eligibility Center.

  9. Why Should You Register? • First question coach will ask a recruit! • Official Visits! • NLI/Scholarship! • To practice & compete!

  10. Registering with the NCAA Initial Eligibility Center • KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER!! • Send SAT and/or ACT scores to the Eligibility Center directly from the testing agency • The NCAA Eligibility Center has a specific code for reporting the SAT/ACT – “9999” • Official transcripts from ALL HIGH SCHOOLS you attend • The Eligibility Center will not start a review of your file unless you have transcripts and test scores on file • CREATE ONLY ONE ACCOUNT WITH THE EC

  11. KEY POINTS TO REMEMBER, CONT’D • Make sure you write down your username and password information. • If you went to a college to make up work, or took classes at a 4 year or 2 year college while in high school, those classes and grades must be shown on your high school transcript. You also need to have that college send an official transcript directly to the Eligibility Center. (Dual Credit Courses) • If your guidance counselor asks for a transcript release form, you can find this in the “Forms” section on the “Resource” page of the new website. • Check your email account that you gave the NCAA on a REGULAR basis. This is how the NCAA communicates with you. • If the NCAA contacts you, usually by e-mail, DO NOT IGNORE THEM! • ALWAYS BE HONEST & COOPERATIVE WITH THE NCAA.

  12. Counselors • Identify your potential athletes early (sophomores/juniors) to make sure they are on track • Review and update NCAA core course list each semester • Pay close attention to small details on transcripts (i.e.*, T, DC) – has a legend been provided? • Send final transcript with proof of graduation to the NCAA Eligibility Center (just after graduation) • Call the NCAA Eligibility Center when/or if a course is in question • Call the ISU Compliance Staff, we would be more than willing to help!

  13. Important Tips Students with Education-Impacting Disabilities • A student with a disability is required to meet the same initial eligibility requirements as any other student. • NCAA does make some accommodations available to those students to assist them in meeting requirements. • Contact your counselor or NCAA Disability Services (319-917-6222) for more information.

  15. NCAA REQUIREMENTS TO PRACTICE, COMPETE AND RECEIVE AN ATHLETIC SCHOLARSHIP DURING FRESHMAN YEAR • 16 core courses in the following areas: • 4 years English; • 3 years math at Algebra I level or higher; • 2 years natural or physical science (one lab if offered at any high school attended); • 1 year additional English, math or natural/physical science; • 2 years social science; and • 4 years additional from areas above or foreign language, philosophy or comparativereligion. • 7/10 Rule • Minimum required GPA: • Minimum GPA of 2.300 in those 16 core courses to COMPETE.

  16. The “7/10 Rule” • Core-course progression. • Must complete 10 core courses before senior year. • Of the 10 core courses completed,seven (7) must be in the areas of English, math, or science. • These 10 core courses become “locked in” for the purpose of GPA calculation. • A repeat of one of a “locked in” course will not be used if taken after senior year begins. • Deficient? “Academic Redshirt” status

  17. Academic Redshirt Requirements for Scholarship & Practice Only • 16 core courses in the following areas (Same as Qualifier): • 4 years English, • 3 yearsmath at Algebra I level or higher, • 2 years natural or physical science(one lab if offered by any school attended); • 1 year additional English, math or natural/physical science; • 2 years social science; and • 4 years additional from areas above or foreign language, philosophy or comparative religion. • Minimum required GPA. • Minimum GPA of 2.000 in 16 core courses. (versus 2.30) • Academic redshirt sliding scale. • Minimum sum ACT or SAT score (critical reading/math only) that matches the 16 core-course GPA. • Example: GPA of 2.50 requires SAT of 820 or ACT sum of 68.

  18. Sliding Scale for Academic RedshirtAthletics Aid and Practice Only SAT: Combine Critical Reading and Math Only WRITING SECTION IS NOT USED! The full sliding scale can be found at www.eligibilitycenter.org under Resources.

  19. Academic Redshirt: Requirements for Scholarship and Practice • If a college-bound student-athlete meets these requirements, he/she can receive an athletics scholarship during his/her first year at an NCAA Division I university. • If requirements are met, he/she can practice during his/her first term (e.g., semester) at a Division I school, but…. • In order to continue to practicein the spring semester, the student must be academically successful in the fall semester at the collegiate level.

  20. What happens if you are a Non-Qualifier? Practice Team Travel Competition

  21. Courses Prior to the 9th Grade? • Only 8th grade counts. • Many students now take Algebra I and Foreign Language prior to the ninth grade. • For the NCAA Eligibility Center to count this class as a “core course,” the class, grade and credits must appear on the official high school transcript.

  22. How Test Scores are used for NCAA Initial Eligibility“SUPER-SCORING” NCAA Concordance Table: SAT (-80)

  23. Whether a walk-on or on scholarship, once you are given the privilege of being an NCAA student athlete, academics come FIRST!

  24. FINAL Tips

  25. Start early! 9th grade as important as 12th! • Take the ACT/SAT as many times as necessary. • The Official ACT/SAT score must be sent directly from the Testing Agency to the NCAA Eligibility Center -“9999” • On transcript = not valid • Evaluate HST each semester by your guidance counselor, athletic director, coach or compliance administrator • Work Ethic Matters!
