The D2 school where he has his scholarship will have a compliance officer who is very well-versed in eligibility issues.  You said your 2020 graduate has a scholarship offer with the school, so they should be more than interested in assisting you in trying to get this resolved.  Reach out to the coach and ask who you should contact that serves this role for the baseball team.

It's a plus that you became aware of the issue now ahead of time and hopefully with plenty of time to get it resolved before it becomes an issue. Very good lesson for others on this journey to be sure transcripts are all accurate and everything in compliance before they graduate high school.

We have a similar program in our public high school and that technical school is actually a separate school district so it's possible that they need to have their classes approved separately by NCAA even though they count toward your son's graduation requirements. If this is a long established program, it seems other student athletes would have faced this scenario before. I would talk to the head of your school's counseling office.

I can't disparage NCAA compliance administrators on college campuses as a group because most are good at what they do.  It's also a role I used to have and an organization for which I once served as president.

However, don't assume that the compliance person at the D2 school will be "...well-versed in eligibility issues."  Depending on the funding and commitment of the college to their athletic department, the role might be filled by a young person just out of law school or from an internship at the NCAA national office.  

You're welcome to contact me at rick@informedathlete.com or 913-766-1235 to discuss your son's situation.
