Parents and students should understand that if a student
envisions playing intercollegiate athletics at either the
Division I or II level, the student must begin as a
freshman to pursue an NCAA accepted course of study.
There are updates for any college-bound student-athlete
first entering an NCAA Division I college or university on or
after August 1, 2016 listed in the Program of Studies. You
will need to meet new academic rules in order to receive
athletics aid (scholarships), practice, or compete during
their first year. Please visit www.eligibilitycenter.org for
more details.
What else, as a student, should I
think about when scheduling?
