Thank you for your consideration to join the proud tradition of The Haven Nation! The process to become a Division I or II student-athlete involves many steps and we want to make that process simple for you.

Prospective Student-Athletes

The first thing you need to do if you are interested in playing a sport in college is to register with the NCAA Initial-Eligibility Center. The next step is taking care of business with your high school classes. Check out the NCAA Division I and II Initial Eligibility Requirements sheet below.
NCAA Definition of Prospective Student-Athlete
13.02.9 - A prospective student-athlete is a student who has started classes for the ninth grade. In addition, a student who has not started classes for the ninth grade becomes a prospective student-athlete, if the institution provides such an individual (or the individual's relatives or friends) any financial assistance or other benefits that the institution does not provide to prospective students generally. An individual remains a prospective student-athlete until one of the following occurs (whichever occurs earlier):

a) The individual officially registers and enrolls in a minimum full-time program of studies and attends classes in any term of a four-year collegiate institution's regular academic year (excluding summer); or
b) The individual participates in a regular-squad practice or competition at a four-year collegiate institution.
 
ACADEMIC CERTIFICATION
All freshmen entering a Division I or II institution for the first time must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center. The Eligibility Center will certify for academics and amateurism. Additionally select transfer students may be required to obtain certification through the NCAA Eligibility Center.
