Information for STUDENT-ATHLETES with disabilities:
 

Students With Education-Impacting Disabilities:

Special Conditions

A student with an education-impacting disability must meet the

same requirements as all other students, but is provided certain

accommodations to help meet these requirements. If you are

a student with a diagnosed education-impacting disability,

you will need to let the Eligibility Center know about your

education-impacting disability only if you plan on using core

courses after your eighth semester of high school and you

plan on attending an NCAA Division I college or university.

To Document Your Education-

Impacting Disability

Send the following documentation to:

NCAA Eligibility Center

P.O. Box 7110

Indianapolis, IN 46207-7110

Copy of your professional diagnosis; and

Copy of your IEP, ITP, 504 plan or statement of accommodations.

(One of the above documents should be dated within the last

three years.)

Note: Please include home address, telephone number, social

security number and the year of your high school graduation.

Core Courses

If you are a high school student with an education-impacting disability and have received help (for example, taken special classes or received extra time for tests) because of that educationimpacting disability, you are eligible for the following:

You may use a course that your high school has designed for students with education-impacting disabilities, if it appears on your high school's list of approved core courses.

You may take core courses any time before your enrollment as a full-time student in college, even during the summer after your last high school year. Remember, for Division I, you must document your education-impacting disability with the NCAA to receive this accommodation.

Nonstandard Tests

If you have an education-impacting disability, you may also take a

nonstandard test to satisfy test-score requirements. Follow these

guidelines:

Register for nonstandard testing as described by ACT or SAT, submitting a properly documented and confirmed diagnosis.

Follow procedures governed by ACT or SAT. (The test may not be administered by a member of your high school athletics department or any NCAA school's athletics department.)

If you take a nonstandard ACT or SAT, you may take the test on a date other than a national testing date, but you still must achieve the required test score.

Your high school counselor can help you register to take a nonstandard test.
