for College-Bound Student-Athletes
Want to Play College Sports?
The advantages of competing in college sports are both immediate and lifelong. Participating in college sports provides opportunities to learn, compete and succeed. Student-athletes receive top-notch academic support, quality medical care and regular access to outstanding coaching, facilities and equipment. Student-athletes as a group graduate at higher rates than their peers in the general student body and feel better prepared for life after college.
College-bound student-athletes preparing to enroll in a Division I or Division II school need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center to ensure they have met amateurism standards and are academically prepared for college coursework.
Who Should Register?
Students may register any time after the start of their freshman year. EHS recommends that students register during their sophomore year. The NCAA Eligibility Center will evaluate a student's academic credentials once the following information has been received and the student has had his/her status requested by a NCAA member institution.
* Completed online registration - Registration Checklist
* Fee payment
* SAT and/or ACT test school on file from the respective testing agency
* Transcript(s) from all schools or programs attended
Test Score Submission: For a student's academic certification to be processed, the student must have their ACT or SAT scores submitted to the Eligibility Center directly from the testing agency using the code 9999. Test scores on a high school transcript cannot be used. Students may take the ACT or the SAT an unlimited number of times prior to full-time collegiate enrollment, and the best score will be used in the final academic certification. Test scores are matched to the student's Eligibility Center account by name, date of birth and address.
Underclassman and their parents may wish to visit the NCAA Website in order to be aware of requirement changes that could affect future college athletes.
