Many student-athletes dream of competing at the collegiate level and we are proud to say we have had many Grizzlies turn their dream into a reality! More and more students are hoping to achieve their goal of earning an athletic scholarship and furthering their athletic career beyond high school. What most students must remember is that colleges recruit student-athletes, not just athletes. So, it is essential students maintain good grades and take appropriate classes to make sure they are meeting the requirements of both individual colleges and the NCAA.
The NCAA Eligibility Center is the site to help you plan for success as a student-athlete. This is where you will need to register as an eligible student-athlete if you hope to move on as a recruited prospect for college.
The Guide for the College Bound Student-Athlete is available for download. This publication will answer every question you ever had regarding the process of becoming an NCAA athlete. Fabulous information regarding the recruiting process as well, please make sure to check it out!
The NCAA Course List allows you to make sure the courses you plan to take are approved by the NCAA. You will need our school code for access: 053229. If you are taking any online courses, make sure they are NCAA approved before registering, not all of them are.
NCAA Eligibility for Student-Athletes
If students hope to compete in Division I, II, or III athletics at the collegiate level, they must be cleared through the NCAA Eligibility Center in addition to being accepted by the college or university. The NCAA has more requirements that go above and beyond your normal high school graduation or college entrance requirements. Plan accordingly to ensure you meet the core course requirements!
Students can register at eligibilitycenter.org and find out more information there. Students must be registered in order to begin the recruiting process, so registration should occur prior to the senior year of high school.
