NCAA Registration

Students must follow particular NCAA regulations in order to participate in varsity athletics in college. The first step is to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. (By the way, I had a difficult time navigating the various NCAA websites. There is a difference between NCAA.COM and NCAA.ORG. The information on prospective athlete recruitment is linked to NCAA.ORG.)
Be sure to keep your NCAA registration number handy as it is needed for the transcript request form that you’ll give to the college counseling office.
Rising seniors should take care of this detail over the summer because coaches can only invite registered students to make official visits to campus. Rules governing Division I and II colleges are more specific than those for Division III colleges.
