NCAA Eligibility Center

As a reminder, the fee for prospective student-athletes registering with the NCAA Eligibility Center was increased by $10 last September 1, 2008. The rates will be $60 for U.S. registrants and $85 for international registrants. The last fee increase was in the summer of 2004. The establishment of the NCAA Eligibility Center in Indianapolis was first announced in January 2007 by Dr. Myles Brand, president of the NCAA. The Eligibility Center certifies the academic and amateur credentials of all college-bound student-athletes who wish to compete in NCAA Division I or II athletics. The Eligibility Center staff is focused on fostering a cooperative environment of education and partnership with the high schools and with high school student-athletes. NCAA regulations are set by NCAA colleges and universities and require all incoming student-athletes to meet a prescribed level of academic performance standards while maintaining their amateur status before entering college. The Eligibility Center collects data from high schools, sport-sanctioning bodies and, most importantly, high school student-athletes in order to make academic and amateur eligibility decisions. Ultimately, the individual student-athlete is responsible for achieving and protecting his or her eligibility status.
