The following is a brief summary of the NCAA Progress-Toward-Degree Requirements:

(1) In order to be eligible for competition at the end of each academic term, a student-athlete must successfully complete 9 semester hours of academic credit the preceding regular academic term in which the student-athlete has been enrolled full time at any collegiate institution. [Bylaw 14.4.3.2]

(2) You must earn 24-semester hours of academic credit during any year in which you are enrolled full time in at least one academic term. You may satisfy this requirement based on earning:

i. 24-semester hours since the beginning of the previous fall term;

ii. 24-semester hours since the beginning of the certifying institution's preceding regular two semesters or three quarters; or

iii. 48-semester hours during the first two years of collegiate enrollment (the certifying institution's first four semesters or six quarters following your initial full-time enrollment in a collegiate institution). [Bylaw 14.4.3.4]

(3) You must have completed 18-semester hours since the beginning of the previous fall term or since the beginning of the certifying institution's preceding regular two semesters or three quarters. Credit hours earned in the period after the regular academic year at the institution (e.g., hours earned in summer school) shall not be used to satisfy the academic credit-hour requirements of this regulation. [Bylaw 14.4.3.3]

(4) You must achieve a minimum cumulative grade-point average of 2.000 prior to the beginning of each fall term. [Bylaw 14.4.3.5]

(5) You must choose a major that leads to a specific baccalaureate degree by the beginning of your third year of enrollment. (This includes transfer students who have not completed an academic year in residence yet or used one season of eligibility in a sport at their current institution.) [Bylaw 14.4.3.6]
