NCAA Clearinghouse Information
Student-athletes who wish to explore the possibility of competing at the collegiate level should first be registered with the NCAA Clearinghouse. The NCAA Clearinghouse is the academic arm of the NCAA and ensures that all students are eligible to participate at the collegiate level.
ACT scores should be sent directly to NCAA clearinghouse. When you register to take the ACT test, the code for NCAA is 9999.
Before enrolling in high school courses, families need to become familiar with the NCAA requirements for eligibility. These requirements may be found at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net. The NCAA requires that all student-athletes take and pass at least 16 core credits.
These credits are:
• 4 years of English
• 3 years of mathematics
• 2 years of natural/physical science
• 1 year of additional English, math or science
• 2 years of social studies
• 4 years of additional core courses (from any area listed above or from foreign language)
These NCAA requirements are mainly met through USD 342 graduation
requirements. Your student’s guidance counselor can work with your student to ensure that enrollment is correct each year.
Students should register with the NCAA Clearinghouse after their 11th grade year once they have received their final semester grades. To register, students must do the following:
1. Go to https://web1.ncaa.org/eligibilitycenter/common/
2. Go to “Prospective Student Athletes”.
