What is the NCAA Eligibility Center?

The NCAA Eligibility Center is an organization that evaluates and determines the eligibility of student-athletes who wish to participate in collegiate sports at the Division I or Division II level. It serves as a comprehensive resource for student-athletes, their families, and high school counselors by providing guidance on academic and amateurism requirements. By collaborating with high schools, colleges, and sports governing bodies, the NCAA Eligibility Center assists in assessing a student-athlete's academic and athletic credentials to determine their eligibility to compete at the collegiate level. Through an online registration process, student-athletes submit their academic records, standardized test scores, and sports participation history for review. The NCAA Eligibility Center plays a vital role in ensuring fair competition by enforcing eligibility standards that maintain the academic integrity of student-athletes.
