Cheryl Corder works behind the scenes with Tennessee Tech Athletics serving as the NCAA Certification Analyst in Tech’s Office of Records and Registration, a position she has held since 2023. 

While she doesn’t work directly with Tech’s student-athletes, she is a key person in their certification and eligibility, as well as monitoring their continued progress toward a degree.

Working closely with both the Academics and Compliance personnel within Athletics, Corder also compiles and submits Tech’s annual APR and GSR reports and works toward resolving any eligibility issues that arise. She monitors the scheduling and progress of the more than 300 Tech student-athletes to ensure that any schedule changes comply with requirements and keep the athletes moving toward graduation.

Knowledgeable in all NCAA eligibility and compliance rules, Corder works with incoming freshmen for their initial eligibility, and to ensure that transfer students’ transcripts are in compliance and meet TTU requirements. She also keeps updated on all current student-athletes and works with academic advisors.
