What does the NCAA Clearinghouse do exactly?
The NCAA Initial-Eligibility Clearinghouse is the organization that determines whether prospective college athletes are eligible to play sports at NCAA Division I or Division II institutions (Athletes playing in NCAA Division III do not have to register). It does this by reviewing the student athlete’s academic record, SAT or ACT scores, and amateur status to ensure conformity with NCAA rules. Students must be cleared by the clearinghouse before they receive athletic scholarships or compete at a Division I or Division II institution.
