Recruiting Resources
College athletics isn't one system. Start with the governing body and division that fits your target schools, then use the official resources below to confirm current eligibility and recruiting requirements.
Rules differ by organization, division, sport, and sometimes by student type. These links take you to the governing organizations themselves so you can verify the requirements that apply to you.
The NCAA oversees three divisions. Prospective athletes should understand the Eligibility Center process, academic requirements, recruiting rules, and the requirements for the division they are targeting.
NAIA schools use their own eligibility system. Prospective student-athletes should review NAIA requirements and register through the NAIA Eligibility Center when appropriate.
The NJCAA is a major governing body for two-year college athletics in the United States, with competition across multiple divisions and sports. Check current eligibility, compliance resources, teams, and divisions directly with the NJCAA.
California community college athletics operate under a separate statewide association rather than the NJCAA structure. If you're considering a California community college, verify eligibility and recruiting requirements with the school and the California association.
The National Christian College Athletic Association provides intercollegiate competition for member Christian colleges and universities. Some schools may also hold membership in another athletic association.
The United States Collegiate Athletic Association serves smaller colleges and universities, including two- and four-year institutions. Some member schools are also affiliated with other governing bodies.
