• NCAA Division I Academic Eligibility Requirements
     
    The following information is posted by the NCAA on www.ncaastudent.org:
    • Division I has a sliding scale for test score and grade-point average.
    • The SAT score used for NCAA purposes includes only the critical reading and math sections. The writing section of the SAT is not used.
    • The ACT score used for NCAA purposes is a sum of the four sections on the ACT: English, math, reading and science.
    • All SAT and ACT scores must be reported directly to the NCAA Eligibility Center by the testing agency. Test scores that appear on transcripts will no longer be used. When registering for the SAT or ACT, use the Eligibility Center code of 9999 to make sure the score is reported to the Eligibility Center.
