NCAA Eligibility Information

The NCAA registration website eligibilitycenter.org was redesigned last fall. There are three different accounts to help prospective student-athletes make the best decision about their college choices. Starting with the free Profile Page is best practice, as you can transition it later to the Certification account needed for your circumstances. They are:

  • Profile Page : If a student-athlete is currently unsure which division they want to compete in or plan to compete at a Division III school, they should create a Profile Page. Creating a Profile Page is free and easy. Students should expect 15 to 30 minutes to complete a Profile Page. If at any time the student wishes to play at the Division I or II level, they can transition to a Certification Account and pay the registration fee to begin the certification process. 
  • An Amateurism-Only Certification account is the right account for only a small number of students, including:
     International college-bound student-athletes (first-year students and transfers) planning to compete at an NCAA Division III school. This account may also be right for two- or four-year college transfers who plan to enroll for the first time at an NCAA Division I or II school. These students should speak with the compliance staff at the NCAA school they plan to attend to determine which account type is required for their situation.
  • Our most common account for future NCAA student-athletes, an Academic and Amateurism Certification account is the right account for college-bound student-athletes who are planning to:
     Compete at an NCAA Division I or II school, Take an official visit, and/or Sign a National Letter of Intent.
    This account includes a registration fee of $100 for domestic students and $160 for International students.

 

Student-athletes that want to play college sports are encouraged to complete their NCAA registration at eligibilitycenter.org. Students can find more information and resources about registering on the How to Register page.
