final ncaa certifications

Keep in mind they are probably very busy processing several certifications.  It's just that time of year.  Even if grades are not an issue, they still have to make sure the minimum required subjects in english, math, science were taken and passed.

We are still waiting for certification, as well as for them to acknowledge that they have received the final transcript (sent 2 weeks ago).  I'm guessing that they are really busy.

I wouldn't worry about it if you know all is good. I was in same boat waiting and waiting. I asked the coach in late summer and he said it was all good. My son just finished his freshman year in college, They certified him in February of his freshman year. I figured if college coach wasn't worried, I wouldn't be

I appreciate all the advice/help/sage wisdom/etc.  With getting him ready to leave and finishing up summer tournament schedule we have more than enough on our plate.  So I am not gonna worry about this until he gets to school and the coach tells him it is something we need to work on.

As others have stated, it's a very busy time of year for the Eligibility Center, and, unfortunately, the fact that baseball is a spring sport puts those athletes in a lower priority than those in Fall and winter sports.  (NCAA universities are calling and e-mailing the EC to requested "expedited" certification for many of their Fall sport athletes.)

As long as you know that your son has the required core courses, GPA, and test score to be certified as a Qualifier, and that his final official transcript has been submitted by his high school (and by any other high school, if he attended more than one), I wouldn't stress out about it.  If another couple of weeks go by without final certification, you may want to contact the compliance office of the school your son will be attending to ask if they can check on it for you.

Thanks Rick thats a great idea.  I will have him check with athletic compliance office when he gets to school if nothing has changed by mid august.  His school does have fall sports but no football so they shouldn't be too overwhelmed at the start of the term hopefully.

I read somewhere else, that the only way the NCAA certifies a player is if a college coach in Div 1 or 2 requests the information. Otherwise, they don't do it.
