The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Overview

The NCAA provides a pathway to college sports for student-athletes across Divisions I, II, and III. The NCAA Eligibility Center helps college-bound student-athletes understand and complete the academic and athletic eligibility steps needed to compete at an NCAA school.

 

Initial eligibility certification determines whether you may practice, compete, and receive athletics aid during your first year as a full-time college student. Requirements vary by division, so it is important to understand the path that applies to you.
