The NCAA Eligibility Center must certify the record of the above courses and course grades using official transcripts forwarded to the Eligibility Center from the prospect's high school. A prospect must also present a qualifying standardized test score.
2016 Enrollees
The NCAA has also created new eligibility guidelines for individuals enrolling in college for the first time after August 2016. To play Division I sports, you need to qualify academically. To meet the minimum requirements for Division I student-athletes enrolling in college in August 2016 or later, or for more information please visit 2.3.orgNonqualifier
A nonqualifier is a prospective student-athlete (prospect) that does not meet the definition of a qualifier. A nonqualifier who is an entering freshman is permanently ineligible to participate in intercollegiate athletics in the Pac 12 Conference.
Your Responsibilities
- Meet with your Guidance Office to ensure that your high school's List of Approved Core Courses (formerly 48H) has been updated and approved by the NCAA Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse within the past year.
- Meet with your Guidance Office to ensure that you are taking a sufficient number of NCAA-defined core courses to meet NCAA initial eligibility requirements. Do not assume that courses are "core courses" simply because they satisfy graduation requirements!
- Register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
- Ensure that all of your high school transcripts are sent directly from the educational institution to the Eligibility Center. Be sure to send transcripts from all high schools you may have attended, and - most importantly - your final high school transcript listing proof of graduation.
- Ensure that your SAT/ACT scores are sent directly from the testing agency to the Eligibility Center.
Once all your materials have been submitted to the Eligibility Center, the NCAA will determine your academic eligibility to compete at NCAA schools. The Eligibility Centerwill send you written notice of your status. Do not assume that you are eligible! It is your responsibility to resolve all academic eligibility issues prior to enrollment at the University of Utah. For more information regarding academic eligibility issues, please see the NCAA Eligiblity Quick Reference Guide.
