Core courses are the foundation of the Eligibility Center's standards. A core course is any course at your high school that has been reviewed and approved by the NCAA as a course that meets their academic standards. In other words, core courses are courses "approved" by the NCAA.
The Eligibility Center approves courses in four categories; English, Math, Natural/Physical Science and Social Science.
You must complete a minimum number of core courses in each category as part of the certification process.

IS MY CORE COURSE GPA THE SAME AS MY HIGH SCHOOL GPA?
No. Your high school GPA includes all of the courses you have taken whether or not they are NCAA approved core courses and uses your school's grade point system. Your core course GPA is calculated using ONLY the core courses you have completed and uses the NCAA's "quality points" system.
Calculating your core course GPA can be a time consuming and tedious process. CoreCourseGPA.com does it all for you, including factoring in your school's weighted grade scale, if applicable, which increases quality point values above the NCAA's standard point scale.
