MEMORANDUM
July 23, 2003
TO: High School Athletics Administrators
FROM: Lisa Roesler
Associate Director of NCAA Membership Services
SUBJECT: Changes in Freshman Eligibility Requirements
You may be aware that the NCAA has increased its initial-eligibility rules; specifically, increasing the required number of high-school core courses from 13 to14. However, did you know Division I made an additional increase from 14 to 16?
The NCAA needs your help in communicating this very important information to prospective student-athletes and their parents, as well as high-school personnel, such as counselors and coaches.
Accompanying this letter is a number of informational flyers. Please distribute these flyers to your coaches, counselors, middle-school and junior-high personnel, or anyone who has contact with those students who may wish to participate in NCAA intercollegiate athletics.
Please feel free to make copies of the flyer.
The information outlined on the flyer also may be found at the NCAA Web site at www.ncaa.org or the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse Web site at www.ncaaclearinghouse.net.
Your assistance in sharing this information with parents, students, coaches and high-school personnel is an important part of the NCAA's educational efforts. Your help in preparing these young men and women for college is greatly appreciated.
If you have questions, comments or concerns, you may e-mail them to academics@ncaa.org or you may call me at 317/917-6222.
