Students should register with NCAA no later than their 9th and 10th grade year. Best Practice is to set up profile page in Middle School
This does not mean that they should not already be taking the approved courses. Students may begin taking approved courses (max 2) in 8th grade, and should be taking approved courses their freshman year.
Here is a helpful checklist from NCAA.
When registering, you will select "Public School" not "Homeschool", as Epic is a Public Charter School.
Epic's NCAA High School code is: 372720
The cost of registration is ~$90, and it will take about an hour to go through the application process.
Once the student is registered, teachers will need to submit the student's NCAA number to their GSM.
