WHAT IS A CORE COURSE? A course that qualifies for high school graduation in one or more of the following: English, mathematics, natural or physical science, social science, foreign language or comparative religion or philosophy; Is considered four-year college preparatory; Is taught at or above the high school s regular academic level; For mathematics courses, is at the level of Algebra I or higher; and Is taught by a qualified instructor. Computer classes and P.E. classes cannot be counted into your core classes.

YOU HAVE TO GRADUATE ON TIME Division I From the time you enter the ninth grade, you have four (4) years or eight (8) semesters to complete your core-course requirement. If you fail to complete high school "on time" in eight semesters, core courses taken after the eighth semester will not be counted toward your NCAA academic-eligibility requirements. On time" also means that if your high school graduation takes place June 1, you must graduate June 1. If you do not graduate June 1 with the rest of your high school class, you have not completed your requirements "on time." Division II You are permitted to use all core courses completed from your ninth grade year until the time you enroll full time at a college or university.
