NCAA Eligibility

What does National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA) eligibility look like in high school?

To play sports at a Division I or II school, you must graduate from high school and complete 16 NCAA-approved core courses, earn a minimum GPA, and an SAT or ACT score that matches your core-course GPA. Your Education Advisor is available to assist you in planning your high school courses to meet the 16 core-course requirements.

If you want to compete in NCAA sports, you need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Plan to register before starting your freshman year of high school (or year nine of secondary school).
