This core GPA is an estimate computed from the courses entered here. Official certification comes only from the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Computed the way the NCAA computes it: your best 16 units that satisfy the D1 subject distribution — not an average of everything you took. Final numbers depend on your school's approved course list.

A free account keeps this transcript, recalculates your standing every marking period, and tells you the week a grade puts a division at risk — the warning is never paid. What a plan adds is the record over time: every season saved side by side, the trend a college coach can actually read.
The share link carries your courses in the URL so a parent or coach opens the same audit. Nothing is stored on our side until you make an account.

Common questions
What are the 16 NCAA core courses for Division I?
4 units of English, 3 of math (Algebra I or higher), 2 of natural/physical science, 1 additional English/math/science, 2 of social science, and 4 additional core units (from any category, or foreign language/comparative religion).
How is Division II different?
D2 requires the same 16 total units with a different split: 3 English, 2 math, 2 science, 3 additional English/math/science, 2 social science, and 4 additional core units.
What's the 10/7 rule?
For Division I, 10 of your 16 core courses must be completed before your seventh semester (senior year) — and 7 of those 10 must be in English, math, or science. Those 10 grades are then locked into your core GPA; senior-year retakes can't replace them.
How do I know if a class counts as core?
Your high school maintains an NCAA-approved core course list (searchable on the NCAA Eligibility Center site by school code). If a course isn't on your school's approved list, it doesn't count — even if it sounds academic.
