Athletic Eligibility (NCAA / NAIA)
College Admissions and Athletics
-
Students should review academic standards required to participate in collegiate athletics in NCAA, NAIA, and NJCAA. If students fail to meet those requirements, they may not be eligible to play college level sports.
-
Each athletic association operates under different rules and policies, including when and how often a coach can contact an athlete.
-
Admission to a college / university is separate from being selected for a college team. Students must still complete the college application process, adhering to the deadlines established by the Admissions Office.
-
Students should speak to their high school coaches during their junior year to discuss likely options for post-high school athletics.
-
Students hoping to play at a NCAA Division I or II school, must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. Students are advised to do this at the end of junior year.
-
Every student athlete must register with the NAIA Eligibility Center to play sports at an NAIA college or university.
