· Remember-all seniors should have filled out their final amateurism paperwork for the NCAA in April. You should have received an email from the NCAA if you have registered correctly.

· Final transcripts for seniors must be sent to the NCAA Eligibility Center as soon as you graduate in order to make the deadline for fall college ball (DI and DII only).

· Registered Juniors will want to send their transcripts to the eligibility center upon completion of their Junior year.  This will give you early review and early status- by October of your senior year (college coaches check the site).

· For Juniors and Sophomores who want to play DI and DII ball, check the website to make sure you are taking the correct amount of classes per subject matter.

· Also, check the formula-you must score a certain SAT combined with your GPA-it gives the guidelines on the attached form. There is a minimum standard of test scores that the NCAA accepts-they have a formula that they look at and compare your scores with your GPA.

· SAT scores must be sent to the NCAA-yep they get all of them-every time you take the SAT-but they pick your best scores. “Official test scores must be sent from the testing agency using code 9999. Test scores that appear on a high school transcript will not be accepted”

· All transcripts must be official and should be sent by your high school with transcript release form from the NCAA (it is found on the NCAA website).
