NFHS/NCAA Course on Initial Eligibility
In collaboration with the National Federation of State High School Associations, the NCAA Eligibility Center and NFHS have partnered to create a course to educate on NCAA initial-eligibility requirements. This course is designed to educate high school coaches, administrators and parents about the NCAA's initial-eligibility standards. After completing the course, participants will be aware and prepared to advise student-athletes about initial-eligibility standards, as well as the steps student-athletes need to take to register, be certified and complete in NCAA Divisions I and II athletics. Please encourage your school's coaches and any nonscholastic coaches you may be connected with to complete the valuable educational module. Registration is required but the course is free.
