Incoming Freshmen (or students who are enrolling as full-time college students for first time)
All students who are in their first or second semester of full-time college enrollment (anywhere) must be registered in a full-time course load of study. Additionally, a student participating in a NCAA sponsored sport is required to be certified by the NCAA Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse as having satisfied the applicable academic requirements for participation in intercollegiate athletics during a student’s first-year of college matriculation.
This means if you are a freshman, to be academically eligible you must be:
· A full-time student, and
· Certified eligible by the NCAA Clearinghouse (except freshmen participating in non-NCAA sponsored sports)
