NCAA Initial Eligibility Requirement
NCAA Initial Eligibility Requirements
All prospective student-athletes who want to play NCAA Division I or II intercollegiate athletics must be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center to be eligible to play.
To be certified by the Eligibility Center, a student must:
- Graduate from high school.
- Complete and submit an application for certification after the junior year.
The NCAA Eligibility Center will issue a preliminary certification report when all materials have been submitted. Following graduation from high school, the NCAA Eligibility Center will review the final high school transcript and will make a final certification decision according to NCAA standards.
It is each student’s responsibility to check online for all regulations and updates.
