Preparing for Collegiate Athletics
NCAA Eligibility & Resources
Sacred Heart Academy strongly encourages all college-bound student-athletes to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center during their junior year if they plan to participate in college athletics. Registering early supports thoughtful planning, reduces last-minute stress, and helps student-athletes avoid potential delays in academic or amateurism certification.
NCAA Eligibility Center Registration
The registration process is straightforward and can be completed in just a few steps:
- Visit the NCAA Eligibility Center website at www.eligibilitycenter.org.
- Click the “New Account” tab in the top right corner of the screen (or select the mobile registration option).
- Follow the prompts to begin and complete the registration process.
