One piece of advice I have is that you familiarize yourself with the NCAA core course requirements & research which courses qualify at his high school. I’d hate to see a kid get down to senior year & get an offer & not have taken the required classes. http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligib...DI_ReqsFactSheet.pdf
We are mapping this out now, just had a "robust" conversation around the dining room table. The question we have outstanding is the following:
2022 plans to take 2 of his 4 English requirements as dual credit. These duel credit courses are listed on the NCAA list of certified courses for his school. The question is, how do they treat these courses when calculating the NCAA required minimum GPA for the 16 core courses when these dual credit courses do not factor into his HS GPA.
Also, the English courses he has already taken are listed with Reason Code RC8 (more information required). How do we resolve that issue?
We can't find a resource for these type of nuanced questions. Is there a help line at NCAA or some other resource?
Our school does not factor the dual credit classes into the GPA either. It was a deciding factor for some teammates who needed to raise their GPA, to choose not to do the dual credit. I will say, my daughter attended the same school my son is committed to and she had done the dual credit at our hs. She walked in the door with 24 hours that all counted towards core college classes and will graduate a year early this May. Well worth it if you don't need the hours to help gpa.
