Clearinghouse Registration

Complete the Student Release Form

To register with the clearinghouse, you must complete the Student

Release Form (SRF), at the beginning of your junior year, online and send the clearinghouse the registration fee ($50 for domestic and $75 for international students). This SRF does two things:

• It authorizes each high school you have attended to send the clearinghouse your transcript, test scores, proof of graduation and other necessary academic information.

• It authorizes the clearinghouse to send your academic information to all colleges that request your eligibility status.

Online registration: The only method is to register online. Go online to www.ncaaclearinghouse.net. Select Prospective Student-Athletes and click on Domestic Student Release Form or Foreign Student Release Form. Complete the SRF form online, and include your credit or debit card information to pay the fee. Then follow instructions to complete the transaction.

Print a copy of your completed registration form and both Copy 1 and Copy 2 of the transcript release form. Sign the transcript release forms, and give both to your high school counselor.

 

Academic-Eligibility Requirements

Division I

2008 and Later

If you enroll in a Division I college on or after August 1, 2008, and want to participate in athletics or receive an athletics scholarship during your first year, you must:

• Graduate from high school;

Complete these 16 core courses:

- 4 years of English

- 3 years of math (algebra 1 or higher)

- 2 years of natural or physical science (including one year of lab science if offered by your high school)

- 1 extra year of English, math or natural or physical science

- 2 years of social science

- 4 years of extra core courses (from any category above, or foreign language, nondoctrinal religion or philosophy);

Earn a minimum required grade-point average in your core courses; and

Earn a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches your corecourse grade-point average and test score sliding scale on page 9 (for example, a 2.400 core-course grade-point average needs an 860 SAT).

Note: Computer science courses can be used as core courses only if your high school grants graduation credit in math or natural or physical science for them, and if the courses appear on your high school's core-course list as math or science courses.

One Core Course after High School GraduationBeginning in 2007 and thereafter, if you graduate from high school on schedule (in eight semesters) with your incoming ninth grade class, you may use one core course completed in the year after graduation (summer or academic year).

You may complete the core course at a location other than the high school from which you graduated and may initially enroll full time at a collegiate institution at any time after completion of the core course.Remember

Meeting the NCAA academic rules does not guarantee your admissions into a college. You must apply for admission.
