What To Do Before College
Register for the NCAA Eligibility Center
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.
After you register, don’t miss these important steps:
- 11th Grade: Take the ACT or SAT and submit your scores to the NCAA using code 9999.
- 11th Grade: At the end of the year, ask your counselor to upload your official transcript to the NCAA Eligibility Center.
- After you graduate, ask your counselor to submit your final official transcript with proof of graduation to the NCAA Eligibility Center.
