Here is what a non-qualifier is by NCAA standards, I hope this helps…

NCAA Core Course Requirements
DIVISION 1 2005 THROUGH 2007
If you enroll in a Division 1 college between 2005 and 2007 and want to participate in
athletics or receive an athletics scholarship, you must meet the following academic
standards:
. Graduate from high school;
. Complete the 14 core courses listed below;
. Present a minimum required grade-point average in your core courses; and
. Achieve a combined SAT or ACT sum score that matches your core-course
grade-point average in the grade point average and test score index found on the NCAA Web site, http://www.ncaa.org.

14 Required Core Courses
. Four years of English;
. Two years of mathematics (algebra 1 or higher level);
. Two years of natural or physical science (including one year of lab science if
offered by your high school;
. One extra year of English, mathematics or natural/physical science;
. Two years of social science; and
. Three years of extra core courses (from any category above, or foreign language,
nondoctrinal religion or philosophy).
NOTE: Computer science courses can be used only if your high school grants graduate
credit in mathematics or natural/physical science and the courses appear on your high-
school’s core-course list as a math or science course.
You will be a nonqualifier if you do not meet the academic requirements listed above.
As a nonqualifier, you:
. May not participate in athletics competition or practice during your first year in
college;
. May receive financial aid based only on need (not athletics-based financial aid)
in your first year in college; and
. May play only three seasons (to earn a fourth season you must graduate before
your fifth year of college).
