Student athletes interested in playing at the collegiate level must register and become eligible through the NCAA Eligibility Center. It is recommended that you begin this process during the spring of your junior year, but there is no registration deadline. Register at:
Eligibility Center
Once registered, Mr. Brooks will submit your transcript to the Eligibility Center following your Junior and Senior year. You are responsible for submitting your ACT or SAT scores to the Eligibility Center. Their code is 9999. You may add this code to your test registration as one of the free sends you receive or once your scores are available online you may send them from collegeboard.com or act.org.
If you used a fee waiver to take either the SAT or ACT, please see Mr. Brooks once you have completed your registration on the eligibility center and he will process your fee waiver. If you have questions regarding this process, please see your School Counselor or Mr. Brooks.
