Student-Athletes:
Student athletes desiring to continue studying and competing at an NCAA school must register with the eligibility center. Students should plan to register before their freshman year of high school (or year nine of secondary school) with a free Profile Page account. Profile Page account registrants get an NCAA ID and important reminders from the Eligibility Center as they progress through high school. These accounts can be transitioned to a paid Certification Account at any time. Any student planning to compete in NCAA Division I or II sports must create a certification account before going on official visits, signing a National Letter of Intent or receiving an athletics scholarship.
As of October 2024, the NCAA Division I Council eliminated the National Letter of Intent (NLI) program for Division I schools. It has been replaced by written offers of athletic financial aid that serve similar functions. However, the NLI program remains in effect for Division II institutions.
Any student desiring to play NAIA sports in college will need to register through the NAIA Clearinghouse at the beginning of their senior year. To register, use the link below. When students register for the ACT or SAT, they will need to use clearinghouse code 9876 to have their scores electronically sent to NAIA.
