Purpose of NCAA Night
Give you and your child some insight into
the NCAA process and playing a college
sport.
What is the NCAA???
National Collegiate Athletic
Association
Divisions of NCAA
• Division I
• Division II
• Division III
What is Division I??
• Division I (or D-I) is the highest level of
intercollegiate athletics.
• D-I schools are generally the major collegiate
athletic powers, with larger budgets, more
elaborate facilities, and more athletic
scholarships.
What is Division II ??
• Division II schools tend to be smaller public
universities and many private institutions.
• Athletic scholarships are offered in most
sponsored sports in Division II.
• Division II also provides athletically gifted
students a chance to compete at a high level, while
maintaining much of a traditional student
experience.
What is Division III
• Consists of colleges and universities that
choose not to offer athletically related
financial aid (athletic scholarships) to their
student-athletes.
• (D-III) the largest of the three divisions
sanctioned by the National Collegiate
Athletic Association.
• D-III schools range in size from less than
500 to over 20,000 students and compete in
athletics that are non-revenue making.
Colleges and Divisions
You can find out what division the college or
university is by checking out their website!
If you want to become an NCAA student-athlete, you
must first take care of your “student” side.
• College-bound student-athletes who want to compete for
Divisions I and II programs must be certified academically
by the NCAA Eligibility Center- (taking level 1 and level
2 academic classes).
• Registering with the NCAA Eligibility Center does not
guarantee admission at a Division I or II college or
university.
• Any college-bound student-athlete should prepare for the
academic side of college as though the athletics experience
did not exist.
• Division III does not require NCAA Eligibility Center
certification.
Getting Started….
• Grade 9 and Grade 10
– Verify with your high school
counselor and the online core-course
list found on NCAA website to make
sure you are on track.
*Core classes are level 1 and level 2
classes in the following categories:
English, Math, Science, Humanities
and World Language
Grade 11
– Register with the eligibility center and begin your
amateurism questionnaire.
– Make sure you are still on course to meet core-course
requirements (verify you have the correct number of core
courses – level 1 and level 2 academic courses)
– After your junior year, send a high school transcript. If
you have attended any other high schools, make sure a
transcript is sent to the eligibility center from each high
school.
– When taking the ACT or SAT, request test scores to be sent
to the eligibility center (the code is "9999").
