NCAA Eligibility for College-Bound Student-Athletes
Students at private Catholic high schools who are interested in participating in NCAA Division I or II athletics must meet specific academic and amateurism standards established by the NCAA Eligibility Center. Below is a summary of key steps and deadlines to help guide you through the process.
Step 1: Register with the NCAA Eligibility Center
To be eligible to play NCAA sports at the Division I or II level, students must register online with the NCAA Eligibility Center:
- Website: eligibilitycenter.org
- When to Register: Typically during the sophomore or junior year of high school.
- Type of Account: Students should create an Academic and Amateurism Certification Account.
- Registration Fee: $100 for U.S. students. Fee waivers are available for those who qualify through the school counselor.
Step 2: Track Academic Requirements
The NCAA requires all prospective student-athletes to complete a specific number of NCAA-approved core courses and maintain a qualifying GPA and standardized test score (if applicable).
Core Course Breakdown (Division I):
- 4 years of English
- 3 years of Math (Algebra I or higher)
- 2 years of Natural/Physical Science
- 1 additional year of English, math, or science
- 2 years of Social Science
- 4 additional years of approved courses (from any category above, or foreign language, religion/philosophy)
For Division II, the requirements are similar but include 3 years of English and only 2 years of math.
You can check whether your high school’s courses are NCAA-approved using the NCAA High School Portal.
Step 3: Secure & Share Transcripts and Test Scores
- Official Transcripts must be submitted directly from the high school.
- Standardized Test Scores (SAT/ACT) must be sent directly from the testing agency using code 9999.
-
While some schools may be test optional, the NCAA still considers test scores for initial eligibility if they are submitted.
Step 4: Request Amateurism Certification
All prospective NCAA student-athletes must also request amateurism certification through their Eligibility Center account. This confirms that the student hasn’t received payment or benefits that would compromise their eligibility.
- When: Request amateurism certification beginning April 1 of senior year (for fall enrollees).
- Deadline: Must be completed before participating in any NCAA sport at a Division I or II school.
Key Deadlines and Timeline
- 9th Grade: Start tracking NCAA-approved courses
- 10th Grade: Register with the Eligibility Center (optional)
- 11th Grade: Register with the Eligibility Center and take SAT/ACT
- 12th Grade: Submit final transcripts and request amateurism certification
All final transcripts must be submitted after graduation, including your graduation date.
