Caution!!

If you're planning to swim in college, please stay up on new NCAA rulings regarding nontraditional coursework in high school.

The NCAA has begun identifying nontraditional courses from various secondary education programs that do not meet the parameters of recently adopted Division I legislation regulating such courses.

Nontraditional courses include online, virtual, independent study, correspondence, individualized instruction and courses taught through similar means, which would also include software-based credit recovery courses.

Courses that meet (as well as those that do not meet) core-course requirements for eligibility purposes are updated on the NCAA Eligibility Center Web site.
