The NCAA recently made a major decision to no longer require a standardized test to become NCAA eligible for the 2021-22 academic year. Per NCAA.org, here are some other updates to eligibility:
“Student-athletes enrolling in a Division I school during the 2021-22 academic year will be academically eligible by earning a 2.3 grade-point average in 16 NCAA-approved core courses, with 10 core courses (seven in English, math and science) completed by the start of their seventh semester in high school (prior to senior year).
Student-athletes enrolling in a Division II school during the 2021-22 academic year will be academically eligible by earning a 2.2 grade-point average in 16 NCAA-approved core courses.”
The decision came after students and parents cited significant challenges in securing test dates and managing test cancellations due to COVID-19. Be sure to keep up with our emails and our blog for the most up-to-date information on testing.
