NCAA CLEARINGHOUSE INFORMATION

2021-2022

 

Any student from URCS who is interested in playing either Division 1 or Division 2 sports must make an appointment with the Guidance Department in 9th grade or the first year enrolled in our school for transfer students.  The Guidance Department will set up a NCAA worksheet for you and start to give you a timeline on when certain criteria need to be completed. 

All 11th graders need to make sure they sign up with the NCAA Clearinghouse in order for transcripts to be sent. All transcripts will be sent to the clearinghouse website.
