The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a college athletic association with more than 1,100 colleges and universities, serving close to 500,000 student-athletes across the country. It consists of three divisions (Division I, II, and III) and offers 24 sports. 

The NCAA Eligibility Center certifies whether prospective college athletes are eligible to play sports at NCAA Division I or II institutions. It reviews the student athlete’s academic record, SAT or ACT scores, and amateur status to ensure conformity with NCAA rules. If you plan to play a sport at Division I or II level, you must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center.
