NCAA Clearinghouse

Does your child dream of playing sports in college at an NCAA division school? If so, your child must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse.  If they do not register, they cannot play freshman level sports at an NCAA division school.  I would suggest registering even if you're not sure whether or not your child will be playing sports or where they are planning on going to college.  Please read the guidelines below to be aware of the responsibilities.  If your child will be attending a college who is not associated with the NCAA then you must contact that school and find out what their eligibility requirements are to play freshman level sports.

Grade 9

  • Verify with your high school guidance counselor and the online core-course listing to make sure you are on track.

Grade 10

  • Verify with your high school guidance counselor and the online core-course listing  to make sure you are on track.

Grade 11

  • Register with the eligibility center
  • Make sure you are still on course to meet core-course requirements (verify you have the correct number of core courses and that the core courses are on your high school's 48-H with the eligibility center).
  • After your junior year, have your high school guidance counselor send a copy of your transcript.  If you have attended any other high schools, make sure a transcript is sent to the eligibility center from each high school.
  • When taking the ACT or SAT, request test scores to be sent to the eligibility center (the code is 9999)
  • Begin your amateurism questionnaire.

Grade 12

  • When taking the ACT or SAT, request test scores to be sent to the eligibility center (the code is 9999)
  • Complete amateurism questionnaire and sign the final authorization signature online or after April 1 if you are expecting to enroll in college in the fall semester.  (If you are expecting to enroll for spring semester, sign the final authorization signature on or after October 1 of the year prior to enrollment.)
  • Have your high school guidance counselor send a final transcript with proof of graduation to the eligibility center.
