Step 6
The NCAA requires that the 16 core classes be met in the first eight semesters (4 years) of high school and,
starting with the class of 2016, 10 core-courses must be met before the seventh semester in high school.
Of these 10 courses, at least seven must be in English, math and science.
Please count every semester since you began 9th grade. If you repeated a grade or will repeat a grade, you
must count those semesters as well. If, for example, you are repeating the 9th grade at Hotchkiss, you have
completed 2 semesters of high school and you will have completed 4 semesters at the end of the repeat 9th
grade year.
Semesters in high school: ______
Will you/have you earned 10 credits before your seventh semester in high school? ________
Step 7
Will you be repeating any courses at Hotchkiss, particularly in mathematics or modern languages? If yes, meet
