What Do Your Athletes Need?

Understand which Eligibility Center account type is right!

For student-athletes wanting to play at an NCAA Division I, II or III school, knowing which Eligibility Center account type is right for them is critical. The right Eligibility Center account is an important step in the process toward certification.

When registering at eligibilitycenter.org, there are three account options. Which account they need depends on where they are in the recruiting process and which division they plan to attend, among other factors. Click here for more information on which account is the right one for your student-athlete.

NLI Signing Dates

Do your athletes know the time period they are eligible to sign a NLI for their sport? If not, review the NLI website and share these dates with your student-athletes! Note: The NLI is voluntary and not required for you to receive financial aid or participate in sports. Signing an NLI ends the recruiting process because coaches are prohibited from recruiting student-athletes who have signed NLIs with other member schools.
