Time for Juniors to Register

Now is the time for college-bound student-athletes in the junior class to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center if they plan on participating in college athletics. Early registration promotes positive planning and involvement, bypasses the last-minute rush and helps college-bound student-athletes avoid issues that may delay their academic and amateur certifications. The registration process is easy and can be done by:

1. Logging on to the Eligibility Center's new web site at www.eligibilitycenter.org

2. Selecting the "Fall 2010 or After" icon;

3. Selecting the "New Account" tab at the top of the screen; and

4. Beginning the registration process.

Applying to College

Remind your college-bound student-athletes that they need to apply to the college or university they are interested in attending. Some student-athletes think that because they are being recruited or because they have registered with the Eligibility Center, they do not need to apply for admission. Continue to remind your college-bound student-athletes and their parents that athletics eligibility and admission to a college or university are two separate processes and that both need to be completed.
