• You must complete 10 core courses by the end of your junior year (before the start of your seventh semester). Seven of the 10 core courses must be in English, math, or natural/physical science. The grades in these seven courses will be “locked in,” meaning you will not be allowed to retake them to improve your grades. Insider Tip: While there are slightly different eligibility requirements for NCAA D1 and D2, in 98 percent of the cases, if you are eligible at the D1 level, you will also be eligible at the D2 level.

It is best to schedule your courses to meet the D1 requirements so you can be assured of being eligible at both division levels.
