Due to NCAA regulations established August 1, 2010, some non-traditional courses may not meet the requirements for initial NCAA eligibility. Courses completed online meet graduation requirements in Georgia, but may not meet requirements set forth by the NCAA. This may impact a student’s eligibility status during their first year in college. Parents or students needing confirmation that an online course meets the NCAA eligibility requirements should obtain confirmation in writing from the school counselor.
