Lesson 6 of 7

How to register with the Eligibility Center

Registration is the official first step toward playing D1 or D2. Do it at the start of junior year — earlier is fine, but junior year is when it becomes real.

  1. 1Go to eligibilitycenter.org and create a Certification Account (there’s a fee; fee waivers exist if you’ve had an SAT/ACT fee waiver — ask your counselor).
  2. 2Fill in your sports and academic history honestly and completely.
  3. 3Ask your high school counselor to upload your official transcript through the school’s portal.
  4. 4After you graduate, have your final transcript sent.
  5. 5Complete the amateurism questionnaire and request final certification before you enroll and compete.

Don’t do it alone

Your school counselor does this every year. So does FITE CAMP. Ask. The whole point of this Academy is that no kid walks up to that door by himself.
