If you wish to participate in NCAA Division I or II Athletics, you need to be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center.  You need to qualify academically and you need to be cleared as an amateur student-athlete.  Follow the following steps:

-          Register with the NCAA Eligibility Center (at www.eligibilitycenter.org) at the beginning of your junior year

-          Complete the registration process.  Answer all questions as truthfully as possible.  Incomplete or incorrectly reported information can jeopardize your eligibility status.

-          Send your transcripts to the Eligibility Center by asking your guidance counselor to send your transcripts at the end of your junior year and immediately following high school graduation.

-          Take the ACT or SAT and use the code “9999” to have your official scores sent directly to the Eligibility Center.

-          Request a final certification.  Log back in during your senior year and update any new information and request final amateurism certification.  *Beginning April 1 for fall enrollees and beginning October 1 for spring enrollees.

-          Graduate “on time” from high school in eight semesters (four years) with the required amount of core courses.  This is a requirement if you want to participate in NCAA Division I athletics.

Be sure to speak with your guidance counselor about taking classes that are “approved courses”.  You can also log on to www.eligibilitycenter.org.  Select “Resources”, the “U.S. High School Students” and “Are You on Track?”  Then select “List of Approved Core Courses.”  Follow prompts to select our school by name.
