College bound student athletes planning on attending a Division I or Division II institution should register with the NCAA Eligibility Center at the beginning of their junior year in high school. At the end of their junior year, students should request to have an official transcript (which includes six semesters of grades) submitted to the Eligibility Center. Additionally, students should have their SAT or ACT scores forwarded directly to the Eligibility Center whenever they take the exam. Students need to check with their counselor each year to verify the classes they are taking match the NCAA list of approved core courses for OHHS. For further information, please see the NCAA website at www.ncaa.org.

Student athletes should also contact their coaches to discuss college athletic recruiting procedures as early as possible.
