NCAA Clearinghouse
The College Checklist
Whether you are a freshman or a senior, start thinking about college NOW. The preparation you do today, will make your decision-making process easier when you being recruited. Research, research, research... discover what your interests are, and what schools will best help you achieve your goals for the future. Below are some standard questions and checklists which will help you prepare for your recruiting opportunities:
Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse1. Why do I need to register and be certified?? If you intend to participate in Division I or II athletics as a freshman in college, you must be registered with and be certified as eligible by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. Please note that initial-eligibility certification pertains only to whether you meet the NCAA requirements for participation in Division I athletics and has no bearing on your admission to a particular Division I or II institution.
2. When should I register?? You should register with the clearinghouse whenever you decide you would like to participate in athletics as a college freshman. It's generally best to register anytime before participation. If you register late you may face delays that will prevent you from practicing and competing.
3. How do I register?? You will need to obtain registration materials from your high-school guidance counselor. These materials include a student-release form and a red brochure titled, "Making Sure You Are Eligible to Participate in College Sports". Fill out the student-release form completely and mail the top (white) copy of the form to the clearinghouse along with $18 fee. Give the pink and yellow copies of the student-release form to your high school to forward your transcript to the clearinghouse. The high school will keep the pink cop of the form for its files.

Overland Park, Kansas 66211-2422

4. What if I have attended more than one high school?? If you have attended multiple high schools since ninth grade, each school will need to send your official transcripts to the clearinghouse. You should give the pink and yellow copies of the student-release form to the counselor at the high school from which you will be graduating. You also will need to make copies of this form and send them to the counselors at the other schools that you have attended.
5. Are standardized test scores required?? Qualifying test scores are required for participation at both Division I and II colleges. If you intend to participate at either a Division I or II school, the test scores may be taken from you official high-school transcript.
