NCAA Eligibility
NCAA Eligibility Information
The NCAA Clearinghouse recommends that prospective student/athletes register during their sophomore year of high school. Student-athletes choose from two account types. A certification account is required for students going to NCAA Division I or II Schools and has a registration fee. If you plan to compete at a Division III school or are currently unsure which division you want to compete, create a free Profile Page. If at any time you wish to pursue a Division I or II path, you will be able to transition to a Certification Account.
In order to gain eligibility you must send ALL of your SAT and/or ACT scores directly to the NCAA Clearinghouse. On the SAT and ACT registration form, you must select code 9999 (NCAA Clearinghouse) as one of the destinations for your score to be sent. High Schools can no longer send the NCAA Clearinghouse these scores.
To meet the NCAA eligibility requirement make sure that you meet with your counselor early in your high school career to discuss a plan for taking the necessary core courses. While high school counselors do not make the decision on whether you are eligible for NCAA, they can help you take the necessary courses.
NOTE: Credit Recovery courses will appear on the high school transcript with a designation of DL for digital learning. Students athletes please note that the NCCA may not recognize courses completed in a digital only format.
