Welcome, international student!

When you created your NCAA Eligibility Center account, you told us you attended school in France. We are writing to assure you that we are familiar with your education system and to help you understand the information we need to complete your certification. 
 
We need official academic documents to establish your expected date of graduation and to evaluate your academic performance according to NCAA initial-eligibility standards. Here are a few recommendations to get you started if you have not already submitted these documents: 
  • Ask your school to submit official school-stamped copies of your trimester-by-trimester transcripts for years nine and up in the native language. In France, year nine is commonly referred to as Troisieme Annee (3eme).
  • Ask the issuing body to submit official copies of acceptable proof of graduation in the native language. Most students in France will earn the Diplôme de Bachelier de l’Enseignement du Second Degré, the Diplôme de Baccalauréat de l’Enseignement Secondaire, or the Diplôme de Baccalauréat Général
  • Your documents are issued in a language other than English. Please submit certified line-by-line English translations for all documents.  
  • Take the ACT or SAT before your first full-time collegiate enrollment and ask the ACT or SAT to send your scores to the NCAA Eligibility Center using code 9999
    • If you are transferring to an NCAA school from another college, ask the athletics compliance office at your new school if they require test score submission. 
    • Learn more about NCAA test scores.
Please submit your documents as soon as they are available. Remember to monitor your task list at eligibilitycenter.org throughout your certification process. Timely submission of requested documents will prevent delays in your certification. 
We look forward to assisting you as you work toward becoming an NCAA student-athlete. 
 
Sincerely, 
NCAA Eligibility Center
