Visit the NCAA Clearinghouse Site for the most comprehensive explanation of the college recruiting process. Much of the information that you'll eventually be able to find on this site will have come directly from the NCAA's site. If you have general questions concerning the recruiting process feel free to contact Coach Luck at 919-599-4936.

Visit the Academic Support page to learn more information about the SAT and ACT standardized tests.

In determining eligibility for Division I and II athletics each student-athlete must be cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse process is based on academic performance both in the classroom as well as in a standardized testing situation (SAT or ACT). Specific course requirements are necessary for consideration in determining each student-athletes' CORE GPA. The clearinghouse website listed earlier provides detailed information concerning the process, but for a brief overview...

Currently Jordan's school code is = 341060. This code is needed while looking through the NCAA clearinghouse site to find additional information about the core courses that are offered at Jordan High School (NCAA Form 48H).

The sliding scale associated with the new rule may be viewed on the following page, Sliding Scale for Core GPA/Test Score Index

Student-athletes interested in attending a Division II college or university will be under slightly different constraints for meeting NCAA initial eligibility.

In short the requirements as listed by the NCAA are as follows:

  • Satisfy high school graduation requirements
  • have a grade-point average of 2.000 in 14 core courses; and
  • must achieve a 68 (sum of scores on the four individual tests) on the ACT, or an 820 on the SAT

The 14-Core course Rule for Division II athletics:

14 Core Courses include...

3 year of English
2 years of mathematics (Algebra I or higher)
2 years of natural/physical science (1 year of lab if offered by high school)
2 years of additional courses in English, mathematics or natural/physical science
2 years of social science
3 additional academic courses in any of the above areas, or foreign language, philosphy or nondoctrinal religion

Partial Qualifier and Non-Qualifier information for Division II may be obtained from the NCAA Clearinghouse site.
