NCAA Recruiting Information
National Association of Intercollegiate Athletes: News and Views
Attention 2007 high school graduates (and anyone planning to attend an NCAA member institution starting in the 2007-08 academic year). The NCAA has adopted new legislation that will require prospects who intend to enroll at NCAA Division I and Division II institutions to supply ACT or SAT scores to the Clearinghouse directly from the testing agencies. Test scores on an official high school transcript will no longer be usable for NCAA purposes. Start now and plan to have your ACT and SAT scores sent to the Clearinghouse (via code "9999") so that your certification decision will not be delayed. For more details consult the NCAA's website at www.ncaa.org or call the Clearinghouse. This change in legislation will impact anyone who has previously registered with the Clearinghouse and intends to enroll in fall 2007 or later. If your record has been posted with scores from an official high school transcript, these scores will be removed and it will be necessary for you to comply with this new rule.
The NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse is pleased to offer the web applications included on this site. We hope these applications are useful in student planning, in high schools supplying their academic information to the Clearinghouse, in colleges securing student-related data, and in the general public learning more about the NCAA initial-eligibility process.
