Tutor Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Has anyone helped their child navigate NCAA eligibility as a homeschooled high schooler? Our 7th grader is hoping to fence at a Div I school during college, so we are starting to look into core course requirements and such. What curriculum(s) did you use that provided eligibility for your students? Any other tips or suggestions for learning about and navigating this process? This is all new to me and a bit daunting. :tongue_smilie: Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K-FL Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 It's really not as scary as it seems. Here's an old thread that covered a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bev in B'ville Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 has been refused by the NCAA to participate in college tennis while dual enrolled. They set a high penalty if she does play as well (one year's ban from college play once she is in college for every match she plays). Be sure to check carefully.

Sunshine State Sue Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Here's an old thread that covered a lot. If you click on the 'ncaa' tag at the bottom of this thread, you'll see a few others. I've called and talked to the homeschool office at the NCAA a few times. From reading through the homeschool links at the bottom of this page, I get the impression that they would like to see high school level textbooks in the core courses. I have double checked with them about our classes that do not use a textbook. The fact that we have a few courses without high school level textbooks frightens me, but I'm trying to relax. Here, hs'ed students can dual enroll at the local college. I'm hoping that that will ease their minds (along with ACT/SAT scores) as to the 'validity' of our homeschool. Also, we won't have Bev's problem because ds can play for the local public high school while he takes classes at the CC. HTH! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The homeschool guy @ NCAA was very helpful. I just had to make sure I had the correct number of classes in each category. Our only "problem" was that she had CLEP'ed Intro to Sociology & NCAA does not accept test for credit. She'd done ACE/Paces US History (hs level) in 8th so that was acceptable.
