NCAA and University of California Courses

NCAA Approved Courses Help Student Athletes with College Goals

Most college athletic programs are regulated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA has created a set of rules and regulations for eligibility, recruiting and financial aid. Many Laurel Springs courses are NCAA Division I and II approved. We have an excellent track record of working with our student athletes to ensure that they have the necessary flexibility to pursue their sport, while meeting all NCAA guidelines.

Not all online high schools have NCAA approved courses, due to the high academic expectations associated with NCAA approval. Laurel Springs has a variety of resources to educate students about NCAA procedures. Please contact our School Counseling department to learn more about NCAA eligibility.
