<p>How does the NCAA look at a college course taken while in high school? My daughter is taking a Philosophy 101 course at a state college. Although it is a one semester college course. her high school giver her credit as if it were a full year course. Will this course count as a "core" course requirement for NCAA clearance purposes? If so, is it counted as a semester or a year long course?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>I dont think the course is core–</p>
<p>High school course are math, history, science (lab), english and foreign language.</p>
<p>Contact your schools college guidance office to see which courses on the transcript will be core.
Also know the Clearinghouse will calculate the GPA THEIR way…</p>
<p>You may want to call the Clearinghouse about this…</p>
<p>Thanks FogFog, trying to get to someone at the Clearinghouse is a pain in the you know what, I am going to call them…just wondering of anyone other there in CC-land knew!!</p>
<p>And, they do list Philosophy as a core course:</p>
<p>4 years of additional core courses (from any category above, or in a foreign language, nondoctrinal religion, or philosophy)</p>
<p>^ Hope you can reach them
I can tell you, I called once, asked for the “one copy per student” of the athletic rules booklet-which they said they would mail out…
Never arrived…</p>
<p>^^^Probably easier, faster, and more reliable to just download and print the student NCAA booklet oneself.</p>
<p>FYI, talked to NCAA Clearance Center today (after being on hold for 20 minutes) The course college course my daughter is taking is on-line and as such, it will be individually determined and subject to review under the new NCAA standards. </p>
<p>I was a little concerned because initially I was told that apparently we would not know if it had been “approved” until after her “final” clearance as a senior. I questioned this because at that point it would too late and if it did not count, it could be a problem it she needed it to count as a core course. I was then told it may be reviewed before that in the preliminary approval state but his still has me worried in that she was going to take some other on-line college courses through the same program that would count as a core course. It is my guess NCAA is going to be looking at any on-line course very strictly and will verify them individually.</p>
<p>i was wondering if anyone else has had review of any high school or college on-line course since the rules have changed…and how the approval went?</p>
<p>You are not the first person I have heard this from. Apparently, the NCAA is cracking down on some of the on-line courses, both high school and college level.</p>
