Prospective Student Athlete- What do I need to do?

Prospective Student Athletes-What do I need to do?

Freshmen and Sophomores
• Start planning now!
• Work hard to get the best grades possible.
• Take classes that match your school’s list of approved core courses.
• You can receive your school’s list of approved core courses at
www.eligibilitycenter.org.

Juniors
• At the beginning of your junior year, register at www.eligibilitycenter.org.
• Register to take the ACT, SAT or both and use the Eligibility Center code (9999) as a score recipient.
• Double check to make sure the courses you have taken match your school’s list of approved core courses.
• Ask your guidance counselor to send an official transcript to the Eligibility Center after completing your junior year. If you have attended more than one high school, the Eligibility Center will need official transcripts from all high schools attended. (The Eligibility Center does NOT accept faxed transcripts or test scores.)
• Before registration for classes for your senior year, check with your guidance counselor to determine the amount of core courses that you need to complete your senior year.

Seniors
• Take the SAT and/or ACT again, if necessary. The Eligibility Center will use the best scores from each section of the ACT or SAT to determine your best cumulative score.
• Continue to take college-prep courses.
• Check the courses you have taken to match your school’s list of approved core courses.
• Review your amateurism responses and request final amateurism certification on or after
April 1 (for fall enrollees) or October 1 (for spring enrollees).
• Continue to work hard to get the best grades possible.
• Graduate on time (in eight academic semesters). If you fall behind, use summer school sessions before graduation to catch up.
• After graduation, ask your guidance counselor to send your final transcript to the Eligibility Center with proof of graduation.
