For the class of 2015 and beyond:
The minimum core course GPA has increased from 2.00 to 2.30
10 of the 16 core course requirements must be satisfied prior to the start of the seventh semester (senior year)
7 of those 10 core courses must be from the English, Math and Science subsections
Grades earned in the those 10 core courses are "locked in" for the purpose of calculating the final core course GPA.
Any retakes of the first 10 core courses for grade improvement must be completed prior to senior year
Confused? It gets better.
There is a new NCAA term. Meet the "Academic Redshirt." Que? (Que is Spanish for "what?" By the way, Spanish and all other foreign language courses will not count for 7 of 10 core courses required by the end of the junior year.)
The "Academic Redshirt" term applies to a D1 prospective student-athlete (PSA) in 2015 and beyond who does not meet the new 2.30 core course GPA requirement, but has a core course GPA above 2.00 and has met the SAT/ACT sliding scale requirements (more on that in a minute). As an Academic Redshirt a student may still receive a scholarship and practice with their team, but may not participate in game competition as a college freshman.
Speaking of the sliding SAT/ACT scale, it has also increased. Significantly.
