NCAA ELIGIBILITY COURSES

College-bound student-athletes enrolling at an NCAA Division I or Division II school need to meet specific requirements to practice, compete, and receive an athletic scholarship. These requirements include completion of 16 core courses in the appropriate areas, ten of which must be completed before the seventh semester (senior year) of high school. Seven of the 10 core courses must be in English, math, or lab science.

If you are a recruited student athlete selecting advanced electives in junior or senior year, we encourage you to review FRA’s approved NCAA courses. Please note that not all high school courses count toward NCAA Division I and Division II core GPA requirements. Only classes in English, math, science, social science, and world language may be approved as NCAA core courses. Because of the credits required for graduation, most FRA students easily exceed the 16 core course requirement for NCAA athletics. The best grades from a student’s NCAA courses will be used to satisfy the core-course requirements.
