Frequently asked questions
What is ClearDirection?
ClearDirection is an independent Canadian-focused academic planning workspace for families considering NCAA Division I or Division II opportunities. You can create profiles, organize courses and identify questions requiring official confirmation.
Why use ClearDirection when the NCAA has an Eligibility Center?
The NCAA Eligibility Center handles official eligibility certification and provides registration and planning guidance. ClearDirection complements that process with a family workspace for organizing academic history and proactively identifying possible gaps. It does not replace registration, documentation or certification.
Can we start in Grade 9?
Yes. You can create a student profile and enter completed, current and planned courses as early as Grade 9. Planning early may provide more time to reconsider future course choices.
Does ClearDirection determine whether a student is eligible?
No. Current course calculations are provisional estimates using unverified, user-entered values. Only the NCAA Eligibility Center and relevant college authorities can make official determinations.
What does the Family Plan cost, and how many children does it cover?
CA$149/year for one family account, with multiple student-athlete profiles included. You pay once, not per student. The current payment integration is PayPal Sandbox for testing only.
Do we still need to pay the NCAA?
Yes, when applicable. The NCAA's registration and certification requirements and fees are separate. ClearDirection cannot waive or replace those charges.
What is the Canadian NCAA Core-Course Reference?
It is a searchable library of Canadian high-school courses organized by province and NCAA subject category. British Columbia and Alberta libraries are available now to paid Family Plan members. It includes course titles from a historical NCAA approved/not-approved list, along with additional provincial curriculum courses whose NCAA status has not been verified.
Can I search for an individual course and see if it counts?
You can search course names and codes and see the published listing status and subject category, where available. A course's appearance in the library does not guarantee NCAA credit for an individual student. Historical listings may have changed; use the linked live NCAA source and confirm with the NCAA Eligibility Center when making eligibility decisions.
Is the core-course library included in the Family Plan?
Yes. One CA$149/year Family Plan unlocks the course-reference library for the parent account and all student profiles in that family. The free account is intended for basic course tracking and student profiles.
Which provinces and territories are covered?
British Columbia and Alberta currently have searchable course libraries. We plan to expand to other Canadian provinces and territories; no release date is guaranteed. Each course must be assessed under its own provincial educational system and applicable NCAA guidance.
Does the course library automatically review an uploaded transcript?
Not yet. The library can be searched manually today. Automated transcript extraction and matching of course codes, school history and provincial course listings are planned features.
What can we use today versus what is coming later?
Today you can create student profiles, enter and track courses, view provisional planning totals, and—with a verified Family Plan—browse the Canadian core-course reference and store transcripts privately. Automated transcript extraction, wider provincial course coverage, smart alerts, and advanced what-if scenarios are planned rather than currently available.
Can two or more children use one Family Plan?
Yes. All student profiles under the same parent account share its verified paid access. Each student keeps separate courses, transcripts and school history.
What if my child attended school in two provinces?
Keep one student profile and add each school with its location, education system and dates. You can also identify the jurisdiction associated with each course. Select the province issuing the expected graduation credential separately. Mixed academic records may need individual review by NCAA staff.
What if a Canadian student attends a U.S. school or studies online?
Record each school and its educational system. The applicable NCAA crediting and academic timeline rules can vary when students switch systems. A physical address alone does not determine the curriculum or diploma requirements.
Are Canadian provincial graduation credits the same as NCAA core credits?
No. Course names, local graduation credits, provisional ClearDirection units, and NCAA-certified core-course credits are different concepts. Do not treat the current calculator as an official assessment.
Does ClearDirection cover D1 and D2?
Yes. You can select D1 or D2 for each student and switch between their published core-course distributions on the student profile. These are preliminary unit estimates, not official eligibility determinations.
Can I upload transcripts? Family Plan
Yes. Private transcript storage is currently available with a verified Family Plan payment. It does not automatically extract or evaluate courses yet. The NCAA requires official records to come from authorized senders, not from ClearDirection's private storage.
What happens if we cancel?
Cancellation stops future renewal charges. Verified prepaid access remains until the paid-through date unless its payment is reversed. Student profiles and course history stay in the account.
Is ClearDirection affiliated with the NCAA?
No. ClearDirection is an independent service, not endorsed by or affiliated with the NCAA. For binding academic and athletics eligibility decisions, consult the official NCAA Eligibility Center and the relevant college compliance office.
