NCAA Eligibility Center
April 24th, 2009 - byImportant Recruiting Reminder
With the weather heating up and school winding down, don’t forget to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Clearance through the eligibility center is mandatory in order to compete in Division I or Division II athletics.
Seniors – NCAA clearance is not actually complete until all required high school courses are taken. Your high school will need to send your final transcripts into the Eligibility Center (formerly known as the NCAA Clearinghouse). Be sure to speak with your guidance counselor about this before he/she leaves for the summer. If you have not done so already, as a final step you will need to request final amateur certification by signing the 10.1 statement. Remember to log back in to your account and finalize your amateurism questionnaire before you enroll in college. I suggest that you take care of this right away, so you do not forget over the summer.
Juniors – If you have not done so already, you must complete your registration at the end of junior year. Your guidance counselor will need to send your transcripts once you have completed six high school semesters, so make sure to discuss this before he/she leaves for summer vacation!
Underclassmen – Review your high school course load to make sure you are on track to successfully complete the 16 required core courses.
