Prospective Student-Athletes Responsibilities
Your Responsibilities
Are you considered a Prospective Student-Athlete?
If so, the following steps will guide you through the process towards becoming eligible to compete as a Division I student-athlete.
1. Meet with your Guidance Office to ensure that your high school's List of Approved Core Courses (formerly 48H) has been updated and approved by the NCAA Eligibility Center within the past year.
2. Meet with your Guidance Office to ensure that you are taking a sufficient number of NCAA-defined core courses to meet NCAA initial eligibility requirements. Do not assume that courses are "core courses" simply because they satisfy graduation requirements!
3. Register with the NCAA Eligibility Center by (1) completing and signing the Student Release Form and (2) paying the required registration fee. You may obtain the Eligibility Center registration materials at the NCAA Eligibility Center website, from your High School Guidance Office, or from your applicable head coach.
4. Ensure that all of your high school transcripts are sent directly from the educational institution to the Eligibility Center. Be sure to send transcripts from all high schools you may have attended, and - most importantly - your final high school transcript listing proof of graduation.
5. Ensure that your SAT/ACT scores are sent directly from the testing agency to the Eligibility Center (code: 9999).
6. Once all your materials are submitted to the Eligibility Center, the NCAA will determine your academic eligibility to compete at NCAA schools. The Eligibility Center will send you written notice of your status. Do not assume that you are eligible! It is your responsibility to resolve all academic eligibility issues prior to enrollment at the Bowling Green State University.
