NCAA Clearinghouse for Seniors-to-be

This one is for all high school seniors-to-be and their parents. You must register with the NCAA Clearinghouse in order to take official recruiting visits and compete as a part of an NCAA Division I or II sports program. The Clearinghouse assesses your initial eligibility (for recruiting) and your final eligibility (based on classes taken, your GPA and SAT/ACT scores) to participate in Division I or II athletics.
The website you want to use is www.ncaaclearinghouse.com. From there you will be able to get all the information you need on NCAA initial eligibility and you can also register with the Clearinghouse online. You will also have to get your SAT/ACT scores sent directly to the Clearinghouse from the testing company. You will also need to get your official transcripts MAILED to the Clearinghouse by your high school. There is a $50 fee required to register with the Clearinghouse.
Remember, you can not take an official visit to a Division I or II school without being properly registered with the Clearinghouse (application filled out, test scores sent and received, transcripts sent and received, payment made).
