What is NCAA certification?
The National Collegiate Athletic Association, a voluntary organization that governs intercollegiate athletics, oversees the accreditation process. It aims to ensure a commitment to integrity in intercollegiate athletics among Division I schools. The member institution conducts a self-study that examines policies and practices in these areas: academic integrity, governance and rules compliance, and student-athlete welfare. A self-study is submitted to the NCAA, which selects a peer-review team to visit campus to verify information in the self-study.
