When should students register?

The NCAA recommends that student-athletes register at the beginning of their freshman year in high school. For Division I or II, you must complete the Academic and Amateurism Certification account registration before you go on official visits, sign a National Letter of Intent, or receive an athletics scholarship.

Students must register online at the NCAA Eligibility Center.
