Eligibility

(Keep in mind these figures change from year to year)

• Minimum cumulative grade point average compared to ACT/ SAT score. It is graded on a sliding scale. The higher your GPA is, the lower your test score can be and vice versa.
• English: 4 years
• Math at the Algebra I level or higher: 2 years
• Natural or physical science (including at least one lab course if offered): 2 years
• Additional courses in English, math, or physical science: 1 year
• Social science: 2 years
• Additional academic courses (keep in mind that most universities require at least two years of foreign language): 2 years
• ACT: www.act.org
• SAT: www.sat.org
• NCAA Clearinghouse: www.ncaaclearinghouse.net
• The clearinghouse will have a section where you can fill in school codes, which is a number that specifies that you want your information sent to a specific University. You can obtain the school code from the University you are interested in and your clearinghouse information will be sent directly to that specific school. You can obtain the school code by calling the University or talking to the coach.
• IMPORTANT:  As a student enrolling in a University, you must remember it is your job to make to make sure you are sending your information to the correct places.
  • The clearinghouse and university do not work together! Both institutions must receive your SAT or ACT score, your unofficial transcripts, and your official final transcripts. REMEMBER: there is a big difference between unofficial transcripts and official final transcripts.
• ACT or SAT? If you are uncertain on weather or not to take the ACT or SAT you can take both to be safe. If you have narrowed your choices to a certain number of schools you can contact each specific school and see which test they require you to take.
