My Student-Athlete: All You Need to Know

Here at Leaders of Evolution, we are proud to work closely with the NCAA athlete program. Our unique online learning company works hard to provide athletes with the skills needed to be successful both in and out of their sporting endeavours. We provide student-athlete courses geared towards aiding athletic departments in all things from boosting commercial revenue to helping your athletes in becoming career ready. 

Before one can go about achieving success in the NCAA athlete program, they must register for a Certification Account with the NCAA Eligibility Center. At Leaders of Evolution, we make everything simpler for you. Below you will find the steps needed to become an official NCAA student-athlete. 

My Student-Athlete Prior to Registration Checklist

These are the basic requirements in registering for My Student-Athlete. Before taking the next steps in your career, here are some things you will need:

• Valid Email Address: Make sure this is an email that you will have access to following your completion of high school. It’s important that you regularly check this mailbox to ensure that you do not miss any important information or news. 
• Education History: To complete the My Student-Athlete process, you will need to provide a list of all high schools and secondary schools that you attended, as well as the dates in which you have done so. 
• Sports Participation History (Certification Accounts Only): Here you will include all details regarding teams you have played with and events you participated in. Additionally, you will need to reference the individuals who have advised you or marketed your skills.
• Payment (Certification Accounts Only): For students within the U.S., registering for the My Student-Athlete portal will cost $90. For those who live outside of the U.S. and Canada, the registration fee will be $150. Please note that some students may be eligible for a fee waiver. 

The Next Steps in Registering for the My Student-Athlete Portal

1. You will need to visit eligibilitycenter.org and read over the two account descriptions in order to decide whether you would like to sign up with a Certification Account or Profile Page. If you are planning to compete at an NCAA Division I or II school, please select the “Create an Account” button. If you are unsure or plan to complete at a Division III school, you will select the “Create a Profile Page” button. Please note: you can switch from a Profile Page to a Certification Account, but not the other way around.
2. Next, you will provide the email address you most frequently check to begin the registration process. There you will find an email containing the verification code needed to continue.
3. You will now have access to the Account, Basic Information and Contact Pages which need to be filled out. Those with Certification Accounts will be prompted to pay the non-refundable registration fee. Then, you will be given 30 days from the time you received the verification code to submit your payment before your account is forfeited. 
4. Following payment, you can return to your My Student-Athlete Dashboard to complete the next steps. Regardless of account type, you will need to provide the sports & academic history as noted before. Please include any and all information relevant.
5. Once you have completed this step, you will be guided to the My Student-Athlete Sports page in which you will select the sport(s) you wish to compete in. Questions will be provided. 
6. Once you have completed either the School section (Profile Pages) and Sports section (Certification Accounts), you will be guided back to your My Student-Athlete Dashboard.
