All students whose future plans include enrolling in college and participating in Division I or Division II athletics must be certified by the NCAA Eligibility Center. It is the responsibility of the student to obtain the most recent evaluation of Council Rock’s approved course list from his/her counselor or the NCAA Eligibility Center website. Please also note: a (+) after a course title in Council Rock's Program Planning Guide indicates a course is approved for NCAA eligibility. Course modifications and new courses are submitted to the NCAA each year. Therefore, it is very important to check yearly for any changes in course approvals and eligibility requirements. Although a student can register with the NCAA Eligibility Center at any time during his/her high school career, one must register by fall of his/her senior year.
