NCAA ELIGIBILITY

Are you a Wellesley High School student interested in playing a sport at the Division I or Division II level? If so, understanding the process is important in ensuring your ability to be eligible. If you know you plan on playing a Division I or II sport in college you need to be registered with the NCAA eligibility center before you can compete for that particular school. The link to the NCAA eligibility center and directions for creating an account with the NCAA can be found at NCAA eligibility.  For a quick registration checklist please refer to NCAA checklist

There are different academic criteria for Division I and Division II eligibility. The links below give you some information about those academic eligibility requirements as well as timelines for student athletes being recruited at the Division I and Division II levels.

If you are interested in playing a sport at the Division III level, you do not need to register with the NCAA eligibility center.

If you have any further questions about this, please reach out to your school counselor at Wellesley High School.
