NCAA REMINDERS

Top 10 Reminders About the NCAA Initial-Eligability Clearinghouse

Faxed Transcripts - are not acceptable.

1. Multiple High Schools - students who have attended more than one high school must submit a transcript from each school.   

2. Test Scores - must come directly from the testing agency or appear on the official high school transcript. Mark code 9999 as one of your college scholarship codes on your registration folder.

3. Final Transcripts - must have proof of graduation (i.e. a graduation date).

4. Independent Study or Correspondence Courses - are not accepted as core courses.

5. College Courses - may be used to satisfy core course requirements provided the high school accepts such coursework for any student. For Division I, the courses must be placed on the high school transcript.

6. Repeated Courses - may be used only once to satisfy core requirements but the student does get the benefit of the higher grade.

7. GPA Values -
   *pluses or minuses do not count
   *weighted honors or advanced courses do count toward quality points
   *the best 13 core are used to compute the highest possible GPA

8. Nonstandard Tests - must be approved by the NCAA by sending in the following:
   *a copy of all test scores
   *a copy of the application sent to the testing agency
   *a copy of the professional diagnosis or IEP
   *verification that the administrator of the test does not work in the high school or a
     collegiate atheletic department
   
   
9. 48-H Confirmation Form - this document sent from the Clearinghouse to the high school is a complete listing of which courses listing of which courses at that school are approved core courses and which are not. Students should always verify that their courses are acceptable core courses.
