D-1 Requirements

To compete in NCAA sports at a Division II school, register with the NCAA Eligibility Center to stay on track to meet initial-eligibility standards.

D-2 Requirements

When you are trying to determine the GPA or SAT/ACT test scores you need to be NCAA eligible, you must reference the NCAA sliding scale. The NCAA sliding scale is designed so that if you have a higher GPA, you can have lower SAT/ACT scores. If you have really strong test scores, you can have a lower GPA.

The NCAA Eligibility Center extended its COVID-19 initial eligibility policies for student-athletes who initially enroll full-time during the 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years. Students who intend to play D1 or D2 sports won’t be required to take the ACT or SAT by the NCAA. Students are also allowed to use pass/fail grades for core courses through the 2021–22 academic year.

On April 14, 2021, the NCAA extended their D1 and D2 COVID-19 initial-eligibility policies. Student-athletes who initially enroll full time at a college in 2021-22 or 2022-23 and intend to play NCAA D1 or D2 athletics are no longer required to take the ACT or SAT to meet NCAA initial-eligibility requirements. 

Keep in mind that this exemption is for eligibility purposes only. Many colleges still require students to take the ACT or SAT for admissions or scholarship purposes, and college coaches may still ask to see your scores to determine if you meet their program’s academic standards. Likewise, student-athletes who are planning to enroll in the class of 2023-24 or beyond should still plan on taking the test to meet NCAA eligibility requirements.

If you intend on playing in college you should consider creating a one- to three-minute Hudl Highlight Reel​.​ College coaches receive thousands of emails each week, so focus on the first 30 seconds being exceptionally dynamic. Additionally, college coaches are more receptive to reading emails from coaches they are familiar with. Be sure to check with your coaching staff about emailing your highlight reel.
