Presentation
Any student interested in participating in athletics at the college
level has to go through the eligibility center appropriate to the
classification of the school they plan to attend to determine
eligibility.
The Eligibility Center needs to receive an official copy of the ACT or
SAT scores. (They have to be sent from ACT in Iowa, a copy from the
high school is not official).
Those who have taken the ACT will need to contact ACT, pay the extra
fee, and have an official copy sent to the eligibility center.
Information and form can be found in the sites below:
NAIA -
First-time NAIA students who wish to
participate in athletics in 2011-12 must have their eligibility determined
by the
NAIA Eligibility Center.
They should go to

NCAA -
As of August 1, 2013,
Division II Eligibility Requirements
for core classes with change to be the same as Division I requirements.
Also, NCAA rules regarding the acceptance of high school software-based
credit recovery, virtual, online, independent study, or correspondence
coursework have changed effective August 1, 2010. Just because a course
meets high school graduation requirements, does not mean it will be accepted
for entrance/athletic participation at an NCAA school. Go to
http://eligibilitycenter.org for information for students and
administrators.
Below is the link to the 501(c)3 non-profit recruiting webinar your CoreCourseGPA.com program is supporting. It will go a LONG way in properly educating your families (and perhaps coaches and counselors) about the recruiting process.
FreeRecruitingWebinar.org is endorsed by the NIAAA and supported by the ABCA (American Baseball Coaches Association.) It provides a cost free means to educate families about the recruiting process by providing a webinar addressing these and other subjects:
§ Three rules of being a parent
§ Scholarship myths and facts
§ NAIA and JUCO education
§ Scholarships, do they differ?
§ The Name Game
§ Negotiate/Cooperative Education
§ Dangers of social networking/cell phones
§ National Letter of Intent
§ NCAA/NAIA Eligibility Centers
§ Recruiting Services
§ NCAA core course requirements
We recommend you as well as your athletes “like” FreeRecruitingWebinar.org on Facebook. By doing so, you will be allowing the parents and kids to take more ownership of the recruiting process.
