Prospective Student-Athlete Q&A
What is the Initial Eligibility Clearinghouse?
If you intend to participate in Division II athletics as a freshman, you must register with and be certified by the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse. Your high school counselor should provide you with the student-release form and a red brochure titled, "Making Sure You Are Eligible to Participate in College Sports."
How do I register with the Clearinghouse?
Click on the link that we have provided in the Prospective-Student Athlete Tools and submit the information requested.
What else does the Clearinghouse need to certify me?
After graduation and before school closes for the summer, your high school must send the Clearinghouse a copy of your final transcript that confirms graduation from high school. You must also have your ACT or SAT scores sent to the Clearinghouse.
How do I have my test scores sent to the Clearinghouse?
Test scores must be sent directly from the testing agency. You can accomplish this by marking code 9999 as one of the institutions to receive your scores, or submit a request for an "Additional Score
Report" to the appropriate testing agency.

When is a college considered to be recruiting me?
If any coach or representative of the college’s athletics interests approaches you (or any member of your family) about enrolling and participating in athletics at that college.
Who can recruit me?
Only North Greenville University coaches and staff. Alumni and friends of the college are NOT permitted to contact prospective student-athletes in any way.
