Students in Math I, Biology and English II take an End- of-Course (EOC) exam. Students in other academic courses take the North Carolina Measures of Student Learning exams (MSL’s). The MSL’s are very similar to EOC’s, and include both multiple-choice questions and open ended questions. VoCat Tests are administered to students enrolled in Career and Technical Courses (CTE) Each exam will count as 20% of the student’s final average.

17. NCAA

18. What are the NCAA academic eligibility requirements? To play sports at an NCAA Division I or II institution, the student must: Complete a certain number of high school core courses Earn a certain minimum grade point average in these core courses. Earn a certain minimum score on the SAT or ACT. Graduate from high school.

19. NCAA Basics What are core courses? This is the name that the NCAA gives to high school courses that meet certain academic criteria specified by the association. Students must complete a certain number of core courses for NCAA Division I and II eligibility. How are high school courses classified as core courses? All participating high schools submit lists of the courses that they offer that meet NCAA core-course criteria. If approved, the courses are added to a database that the NCAA Eligibility Center maintains. You can check this database or view a list of approved core courses on the NCAA Eligibility Center High School Portal to see whether your student-athletes are enrolled in courses that will count toward NCAA eligibility.

20. NCAA Basics Keep in mind The best way for students to prepare for a future in college athletics is to complete the approved core courses and earn appropriate grades in them. Indeed, more students fail to qualify to play NCAA sports because of lack of appropriate course work than for low test scores.
