The NCAA Eligibility Center has a new registration Web site for college-bound student-athletes planning to enroll in college fall 2010 and later. The new Web address is www.eligibilitycenter.org. The Eligibility Center feels that this new environment will aid you in easily accessing the vital information needed to assist your student-athletes and parents with the registration and academic and amateurism certification processes. As members of the high school community, you will be able to access your information from the “For High Schools” link. The process of submitting your school's core courses online will remain the same.
