NCAA Info for Student Athletes
A student-athlete who is planning to play sports at a Division I, II or III College or University needs to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Additional information can be found on the NCAA Student-Athlete Resource Website.
If you are considering the NCAA path, it is your responsibility to let your advisor and counselor know. It's important to begin this process early to ensure you are taking the appropriate classes and following the correct steps.
