There must also be a defined time period for the student to complete the course The course must be comparable to the regular course in length, content and rigor. Courses taught at a lower level or lack adequate rigor will not be acceptable The school must follow its credit recovery policy whether or not the student is an athlete The course should be clearly identified as a credit recovery course on the student’s high school transcript The course must appear on the school’s list of NCAA-approved courses Credit Recovery

6 Courses taken before high school
If a class is taken during the 8th grade, that counts for a credit, it can count towards the 16 core courses if it appears on the school’s NCAA-approved courses list and is shown on the transcript with grade and credit Courses taken before high school

7 Nontraditional and online courses
Non traditional courses are classes taught on line or through distance learning, independent study, individualized instruction or correspondence methods To find out if a nontraditional program or course is approved, you can go to eligibilitycenter.org and search the school list of NCAA approved courses.
