OTHER IMPORTANT THINGS TO DO BEFORE GETTING STARTED AT SRJC:

1. NCAA Eligibility Center (otherwise knows and Eligibility Clearing House)

1. If you have goals of transferring and competing at an NCAA Division I or Division II institution, it is vital that you determine whether you are a qualifier or nonqualifier, which is based on your high school academic record. See the NCAA Qualifier Quick Reference Guide for more information: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Quick_Reference_Sheet.pdf
2. Qualifiers and Nonqualifiers follow a different set of transfer rules. You MUST register with the NCAA Eligibility Center at http://www.ncaaeligibilitycenter.org to officially make this determination.
3. Have high school official transcripts and SAT/ACT scores sent to the NCAA Eligibility Center.
