Clearing

For NCAA DI and DII universities, student athletes are required to be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center. For NAIA universities/colleges, eligibility must be sought through the NAIA Clearing House, PLAY NAIA.

Prospective students must register directly with the NCAA Eligibility Center, supply verification of their academic achievements, supply details of their entry test results and complete various forms on line. Clearing can be applied for before test results are known. In 2008 there were over 400,000 student athletes studying in NCAA institutions!

For NAIA institutions the clearing process is controlled centrally by PLAY NAIA. Early application is recommended, and as with NCAA clearing, PASS4Soccer have an in depth knowledge of the processes, rules and timescales to make sure you have everything complete on time.

Making certain the application process is completed is the responsibility of the individual student. Recruiting coaches are required to validate eligibility and receive formal acceptance from their Admissions Director.
