NCAA
 www.eligibilitycenter.org - for registration with the Clearinghouse -
this is mandatory for students who will play at the NCAA Division I
& II levels
 Website that provides quick overview of NCAA eligibility
requirements and information: http://2point3.ncaa.org/.
 http://www.ncaapublications.com/productdownloads/CBSA.pdf -
this is the NCAA guide for college-bound student-athletes
 www.ncaa.org - this is the official NCAA website
Please advise your students to send their test scores to the NCAA Eligibility Center by
entering the code “9999” as one of their free test-score recipients in the box
provided when registering for the SAT or ACT. If your student-athletes forget to use
the “9999” code, the student-athlete will need to contact the SAT or ACT directly to
have the scores sent officially by the testing agency. The Eligibility Center must
receive official scores directly from the testing agency in order to certify the studentathlete’s initial eligibility. All test scores are required to be sent. This will aid in
using the best scores from each exam in the certification of your student-athletes.
