Tips for NCAA Eligibility

Below are a series of recommendations provided by the NCAA on steps to be taken to ensure eligibility at NCAA institutions. For more information about eligibility visit the NCAA Eligibility Center Online.

Grade 9

• Verify with your high school guidance counselor and the online core-course listing to make sure you are on track.

Grade 10

• Verify with your high school guidance counselor and the online core-course listing to make sure you are on track.

Grade 11

• Register with the eligibility center. U.S. students should register here; International students should register here.
  
• Make sure you are still on course to meet core-course requirements (verify you have the correct number of core courses and that the core courses are on your high school’s 48-H with the NCAA Eligibility Center). After your junior year, have your high school guidance counselor send a copy of your transcript. If you have attended any other high schools, make sure a transcript is sent to the eligibility center from each high school.
  
• When taking the ACT or SAT, request test scores to be sent to the eligibility center (the code is “9999″). Begin your amateurism questionnaire.

Grade 12

• When taking the ACT or SAT, request test scores to be sent to the NCAA Eligibility Center (the code is “9999″).
  
• Complete amateurism questionnaire and sign the final authorization signature online on or after April 1 if you are expecting to enroll in college in the fall semester. (If you are expecting to enroll for spring semester, sign the final authorization signature on or after October 1 of the year prior to enrollment.)
  
• Have your high school guidance counselor send a final transcript with proof of graduation to the NCAA Eligibility Center.
