Step 5 The NCAA part 2

HOW TO COMPLETE ELIGIBILITY WORKSHEETS like the NCAA

The following information is to assist you with monitoring your progress in meeting the NCAA initial-eligibility standards. You may want to consult with your parents, guardians, and counselor if you have questions.

STEP 1 Obtain your high school’s List of NCAA-Approved Core Courses and a copy of your unofficial high school transcript.

STEP 2 Using your high school’s List of NCAA-Approved Core Courses and your transcript, make a worksheet and write the course title, amount of credit earned and grade. Only include courses on the list of approved core courses. Generally, you will receive the same credit from the clearinghouse as you received from your high school.

STEP 3 Determine the quality points for each course. Multiply the quality points for the grade by the amount of credit earned. Use the following grading scale:
A – 4 points C – 2 points
B – 3 points D – 1 point

NOTE: The clearinghouse does not use plus or minus grades when calculating your core-course grade point average. For example, grades of “B+”, “B”, and “B-“will be calculated as “B” and each will earn 3 quality points. The clearinghouse will provide a yearly grade by averaging grades achieved during terms within the academic year if the high school has awarded one full unit of credit for the course.
Example: 1 semester with an “A” equals 2.00 quality points (.50 units x 4 quality points)
1 year with an “A” equals 4.00 quality points (1.0 unit x 4 quality points)


STEP 4 To calculate your estimated core-course grade point average, simply add up your quality points then divide the total number of quality points for all core courses by the total number of core course units completed.


NOTE: This is for your personal use. The clearinghouse will calculate your actual core course grade point average once it has received your final transcript(s).


Example: 45 quality points and 13 core-course units
45/13 = 3.462 core-course GPA

42 quality points and 14 core-course units
42/14 = 3.000 core-course GPA

28 quality points and 12.5 core-course units
28/12.5 = 2.24 core-course GPA

STEP 5 Refer to Step 4 the NCAA part 1 and look for your score on the table to determine if your core-course GPA and test scores meet the NCAA eligibility requirements.

STEP 6 To monitor your current eligibility status, use the appropriate standards for Division I to determine if you are projected to meet the NCAA initial-eligibility requirements for grade point average and core-course units.

NOTE: If you are deficient in meeting all core-course units, which is probable if you have not completed high school, plan to enroll and complete core courses in the areas where you are deficient.

NOTE: In the event you complete more core-course units, the clearinghouse will select the highest grades that satisfy the initial-eligibility requirements to calculate your core-course grade point average. Please note that it is still necessary to complete the required number of core-course units in each discipline.

Now it time to Get Recruited! On to the Final Step! Step 6!
