Many college athletic programs are regulated by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). The NCAA has three membership divisions -- Division I, Division II, Division III. College institutions are members of one or another division according to the size and scope of their athletic programs and whether they provide athletic scholarships.
If you are planning to enroll in college and you wish to participate in Division
I or Division II athletics, you must be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility
Clearinghouse. The Clearinghouse was established by the NCAA member institutions
in January, 1993 to ensure consistent application of NCAA initial-eligibility
requirements. To be certified by NCAA, you must complete the NCAA Clearinghouse
Initial Eligibility form, available in the Guidance Office, in the brochure
entitled, "NCAA Guide for the College-Bound Student-Athlete". Also be
sure to explore the NCAA
website listed below.
