NCAA Clearinghouse Registration

Students register for the NCAA Clearinghouse online.  Students who plan to compete in athletics at the division I or division II college level must complete the NCAA Clearinghouse form in order to be eligible.  There is a registration fee.  To pay online students will need to use a credit card.  Please let your counselor know that you plan to register. The NCAA wants students to register in the early fall of their senior year so that students will have their ACT and six semesters of school on their transcript.  The NCAA encourages students not to complete the form until after they have completed their junior year of school.

Go to www.ncaa.org to get to the Eligibility Center.

The NCAA Eligibility Center now offers an online course for those that want to learn more about the initial-eligibility process.  It’s an hour-long course intended to educate and enlighten counselors, coaches and parents.  We’ve partnered with the National Federation of State High School Associations, and posted the course on their website, www.nfhslearn.com.  To connect directly to the course, please click the link.  Anyone who wants information about what students need to know, and do to be able to participate in NCAA Divisions I and II athletics should check this out!
