Athletes |
Student athletes
may sign up for the NCAA Clearinghouse after their junior year. Senior athletes who are interested in college sports should sign up
right away. NCAA Division I, II, and III athletes must apply.
NAIA or community college athletes do not have to apply. HOWEVER,
you should consider applying in case a NCAA school has an interest
at a later date. College coaches need athletes to be registered with
the NCAA Clearinghouse in order to sign you for their sports
program. The NCAA requires on-line applications. |
