NCAA/Athletics
Student-athletes must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center to be eligible to play NCAA Division I or II sports in college. Athletes playing in Division III do not have to register.
The NCAA Eligibility Center has implemented online registration for prospective student-athletes. To register, students should access the NCAA Eligibility Center web site. https://web3.ncaa.org/ecwr3/
Once registered, Student Athletes must request an Official Transcript be uploaded to their NCAA account by their school counselor. Stop by guidance to fill out the GIHS Transcript Request Form and complete this step.
Students must also have their Official SAT or ACT scores sent directly to NCAA. Use the NCAA Eligibility Center code of 9999 so your scores are sent directly to the Eligibility Center from the testing agency.
