NJCAA Eligibility

The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA), often called JUCO, is the national governing body of two-year collegiate athletics.   After competing in the NJCAA, student-athletes may be recruited by four-year institutions (NCAA or NAIA) to transfer and continue their academic and athletic careers.  NJCAA member institutions are responsible for fully vetting every student-athlete's eligibility.  Due to the unique academic and athletic situation of each individual, and the complexity of the NJCAA eligibility rules, it is recommended that each potential student-athlete discuss their athletic eligibility with the athletic personnel at the NJCAA college where they have chosen to attend.
