NCAA Clearinghouse Information

The NCAA Eligibility Center, commonly known as the NCAA Clearinghouse, is an essential resource for high school student-athletes aspiring to compete in collegiate sports at NCAA Division I or II institutions. The Clearinghouse evaluates student-athletes' academic records and amateur status to ensure they meet the necessary standards for college sports participation.

Key Points:

• Academic Eligibility: The Clearinghouse reviews your high school transcripts to ensure you have completed the required core courses and meet the minimum GPA standards.

• SAT/ACT Scores: Student-athletes must submit standardized test scores. The NCAA uses a sliding scale combining test scores and GPA.

Steps to Register:

1. Create an Account: Visit the NCAA Eligibility Center website to start your registration.

2. Submit Transcripts: Work with your Mr. Landis (blandis@mgsd.k12.nc.us) to submit your MHS transcripts. 

3. Send Test Scores: Request that your SAT or ACT scores be sent directly to the NCAA using code 9999.

4. Complete the Amateurism Questionnaire: Answer questions about your sports participation history.

Important Deadlines:

• Junior Year: Begin your registration and ensure you're on track with your courses.

• Senior Year: Finalize your registration, send updated transcripts, and complete all necessary certifications.
