Core Course GPA

CoreCourseGPA.com is web-based software that allows school counselors, coaches, parents and student-athletes to easily track a student-athlete's progress towards meeting NCAA Eligibility Center requirements (formerly NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse) for both Division I and Division II.

CoreCourseGPA.com generates a detailed "Initial-Eligibility Status Report" which provides the student/parent, coach or counselor with both the Division I and Division II core course GPA as well as corresponding minimum required SAT and ACT scores and a complete listing of the number of core course credits satisfied and the number to be completed.

CoreCourseGPA.com manages the varying NCAA initial-eligibility standards for each graduating class, including the Division I changes for the class of 2016 and the Division II changes for the class of 2018.

CoreCourseGPA.com software is made available via an annual license fee to schools or individual subscribers. The CoreCourseGPA.com software is customized for the specific core course offerings of each member high school.

In addition to providing a time-saving tool to calculate NCAA core course GPA, CoreCourseGPA.com also provides counselors, coaches, parents and student-athletes with pertinent information pertaining to financial aid, the recruiting process, recruiting rules and other academic subject matter.

CoreCourseGPA.com protects all student information and complies with the Family Education and Privacy Act.
