If you want to play NCAA sports at a Division I or II school, or NAIA, you need to register for a Certification Account with the NCAA or NAIA Eligibility Center. College-bound student-athletes in Division III can also create a Profile Page to receive important updates about being a student-athlete and preparing for college. Students who are not sure which division you want to compete in can create a Profile Page and transition to a Certification Account if you decide to play Division I or II sports.
We recommend taking this course December of your Junior Year.

Every student interested in playing sports at NAIA colleges for the first time needs to register online with the NAIA Eligibility Center and receive an eligible determination. This applies to high school seniors and transfers from both two- and four-year college1
