Low Combined SAT Score

Download the Division II manual, and see 14.3.1.3, especially 14.3.1.3.1 which states that the testing must be completed before enrolling full time in any college.

Yep. Ah, well. May be a better situation for the boy now that I think about it. I don't think he's had any homework in H.S. for his last two years as it is. Whole new world now. 

Thanks for the confirmation. I wasn't sure about the test. He did actually get with the athletics/rules coordinator and confirmed the partial qualifier status on his own since I asked here this morning.

This may be too late to help Junior, but might help somebody else. Keep in mind that the Eligibility Center will take the best score from each subsection if he took the ACT or SAT test more than once.  In other words, he could use the SAT Math score from a test taken last Fall, and combine it with the SAT Critical Reading score from a test taken this Spring to achieve a qualifying score if that will get him there.  This also underscores the importance of taking the test more than once.

Can he go standby this weekend? There is an ACT on Saturday ....

Update, never mind. The standby process closed as of June 6.

Just to update this since folks were nice enough to provide input regarding my question.

I was just looking over Junior's Clearinghouse report since it was just completed. He was certified as a "Final Qualifier" for Div I which means that he can receive athletic aid, practice and compete in games but is a "Final Partial Qualifier" for Div II which means that he can receive athletic aid, practice but cannot compete in games during the first year.

There is also an additional comment on his report that says "Automatic Waiver Approved". This is confusing because with that statement it also says that "You are immediately eligible to receive athletics aid, practice and compete.Contact your institution's compliance department for details". The latter then contradicts the former. At least seemingly. I don't know. He'll have to get on the horn with the athletic directer, I suppose. I don't understand it.

But as was mentioned by others here, absolutely take the SAT twice, at the least. Perhaps even the ACT which may actually render a better or more relevant evaluation. That's up for debate, I guess but definitely in the students best interest to retake the tests regardless of which one. For us it just happens to be beneficial in the long run since his High School didn't prepare him for college environment anyhow and focusing on that first year is imperative for  success in college down the road. Like I said, he didn't even have homework in High School and, really, all they ever did was worksheets. No real mechanism to stimulate study habits that conform to university standards. Obviously this is a huge adjustment that will demand academic focus in order to even maintain eligibility in future years so maybe a win regardless. As well, he still has another year of American Legion Ball after this year so no real time off from the competitive aspect of the sport itself.
