Division 1 Requirements
College-Bound Student-Athletes will be divided up into 4 categories:
Early Academic Qualifier (based on 6 semesters)
Qualifier: May receive athletics aid (scholarship), practice and compete their first year in a Division I college or university.
Academic Redshirt: May receive athletics aid (scholarship) and may practice (first semester or quarter), but may NOT compete in the first year of enrollment.
Nonqualifier: Cannot receive athletics aid (scholarship), cannot practice and cannot compete in first year of enrollment.
Qualifier must: Complete 16 core courses from the distribution below
4 yrs English, 3 yrs Math (Alg 1/Math 1),2 yrs Science (1 yr lab) 1 yr extra from first 3 areas, 2 yrs Social Science 4 yrs extra (English, Math, Science, Soc Sci, or Foreign Lang)
Ten (10) of the 16 core courses must be completed before the start of the Senior year.
Seven (7) of the 10 core courses must be in English, math or science.
Have a minimum core-course GPA of 2.3 (GPA of the 16 core courses) from above
Grades earned in the 10 required courses required before the 7th semester (senior year) including 7 in English, math or science, are “locked in” for purposes of GPA calculation
A repeat of one of the “locked in” courses will not be used to improve the GPA if taken after the beginning of your senior year. Therefore if a course needs to be repeated (poor grade) and you wish to use it to bring up GPA of core courses- it must be done prior to the beginning of the senior year---the sooner the better.
