NCAA Eligibility Center

Below is a list of items recommended you have before beginning registration with the NCAA Eligibility Center:

• Valid Student Email
  • You need a valid email address that you check regularly to register. This is important for updating prospective student-athletes about their account.
• Basic Student Personal Information
  • This includes information such as your name, gender, date of birth, primary and secondary contact information, and address.
• Basic Student Education History
  • Please include details about all high schools or secondary schools you have attended in the United States or internationally, and additional programs you have attended.

It also includes information about any individuals who have advised you or marketed your skills in a particular sport. This information helps the Eligibility Center certify your amateur status when it is requested by an NCAA school.
