NCAA Eligibility Center NCAA initial-eligibility standards help ensure you are prepared to
succeed in the first year of college. The eligibility process also protects the
fairness and integrity of college sports by ensuring student-athletes are
amateurs. If you want to practice, compete and receive an athletics scholarship
during your first year at a Division I or II school, the NCAA Eligibility
Center must certify you as eligible. You need to register with the NCAA
Eligibility Center at www.eligibilitycenter.org
. You should plan to register during your sophomore year of high school.
The NCAA Eligibility Center has designed eligibilitycenter.org
with you, the student-athlete, in mind. This is where you will find the tools
and information you need to begin your college experience as a student-athlete.
Allow at least 45 minutes to register completely. If you need to exit and
return at a later time, you can save and exit once your account has been
created. Beginning Sept. 1, 2016, the registration fee will be $80 for
students in the United States, U.S. territories and Canadian students (U.S.
territories include American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico
and U.S. Virgin Islands); and $135 for all other international students. All
fees are nonrefundable once you have successfully registered. NCAA Initial Eligibility Brochure: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/1718_Initial-Eligibility_Brochure.pdf
