NCAA Accredited Courses

International Virtual Learning Academy offers NCAA accredited courses for high school students pursuing NCAA eligibility through its Apex Learning System curriculum package.

Initial Eligibility

Initial-eligibility standards help ensure you are prepared to succeed in college. The eligibility process also protects the fairness and integrity of college sports by ensuring student-athletes are amateurs. If you want to practice, compete and receive an athletics scholarship during your first year at a Division I or II school, the NCAA Eligibility Center must certify you as eligible.

What do I need for NCAA eligibility?

If you want to compete in NCAA sports, you need to register with the NCAA Eligibility Center at eligibilitycenter.org. Plan to register before your freshman year of high school (or year nine of secondary school).
