Update Primary and Secondary Contacts

For Your School or District’s Eligibility Center Account

Each school and district with an NCAA Eligibility Center account may have one primary and one secondary contact. These contacts may be responsible for managing the high school or district’s core-course list, uploading official transcripts, responding to academic requests for information via tasks, and/or reviewing fee waiver requests. Primary and secondary contacts should have access to curriculum and student records and the bandwidth for ongoing engagement with the Eligibility Center.
To find your school’s primary and secondary contacts, visit on.ncaa.com/CCL and search for your school by high school code/CEEB, state, city or school name. Names of the primary and secondary contacts are in the High School Summary section.
To determine if your school district has an NCAA district account and who the district’s primary and secondary contacts are, please contact customer service at 877-622-2321, Monday-Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time.
To learn how to update your school or district’s contacts, visit the How to Reset Contact Information resource for high schools or districts.

Reminder: Update Your Core-Course List

The new year is a great time to update your core-course list. A list that has not been updated recently could delay your graduating seniors' academic certifications or prevent them from meeting requirements. You may add courses, archive those no longer taught and change titles quickly and easily on the High School Portal. For more information on updating your core-course list, click here.
Note: If you believe your list is accurate, please log in to the High School Portal to verify you have no updates. This will refresh your account in our system and let our team know your core-course list is up to date.

Reminder: Upload First Semester Transcripts

Take advantage of our transcript upload process! For your current senior student-athletes who have finished their fall semester, now is the time to upload their first semester transcripts to the High School Portal. Our certification staff is currently conducting preliminary evaluations for incoming students (fall 2024 enrollees).
Note: Please double check that you uploaded transcripts for any former students who have transferred out of your school.

Education-Impacting Disability and English as a Second Language Core-Course Submissions

Looking to get EID or ESL courses on your high school’s list of NCAA-approved core courses? If you are your school or district’s primary or secondary contact, and are responsible for maintaining your list of core courses, submit these courses through the Eligibility Center’s High School Portal. The following resources are designed to help you during the EID and ESL core-course submission process.
  • EID Core-Course Submission.
  • ESL Core-Course Submission.
Note: Not all EID or ESL courses are NCAA approved.

The Eligibility Center hosted a webinar for home-schooled students and their families. If you receive questions from home-schooled student-athletes dreaming of playing their sport at an NCAA school, take time to watch the recording. Please share this with any colleagues or home-schooled students who can benefit from this information.
