National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Eligibility
To be eligible for National College Athletic Association (NCAA) scholarships, learners must meet certain academic and other requirements, including but not limited to taking NCAA-approved high school courses. Many of CCA’s core and elective courses are NCAA-approved. Learners interested in NCAA scholarships should contact their School Counselor to determine an appropriate course schedule that will assist them in meeting the NCAA requirements. Learners should also visit the NCAA Eligibility Center for more information, using our school CEEB code (396082) to view all NCAA-approved courses.
What do I need in order to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center?
In order to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center, you’ll need three things to start your account:
- A valid email address. (Best practice is to use an email address that remains accessible after graduating from high school/secondary school.)
- Your education history, from age 11 onward.
- Your sports participation history, from age 14 onward.
To begin your account, visit eligibilitycenter.org, click on the “Register” arrow, then select the account option that’s right for you. Best practice is to start with a free Profile Page account (Option 1), then transition that account to the right Certification account when needed.
Once you have selected the account type that’s right for you, enter your email address, then click Send. This requests the Eligibility Center’s system to send you an email with registration instructions, which will include a verification code and a link to the website. When you receive the email, click the link to be directed to a secure CCA webpage that asks for the verification code included in the email. Once entered, you will be able to continue the registration process, including creating a password.
