practice the first year. Academic redshirt = athletics aid the first year, practice in
first regular academic term (semester or quarter). Nonqualifier = no athletics aid, practice or competition the
first year.

Core course progression
Core-course progression. Must complete 10 core courses before seventh semester
of high school (e.g., senior year). Of the 10 core courses completed, seven must be in the
area of English, math, or science. These 10 core courses become “locked in” for the purpose of GPA
calculation. • A repeat of one of the “locked in” courses will not be used if taken
after the seventh semester begins.
