By registering on-line, you will be able to view eligibility information on-line, and will not have to call the clearinghouse for eligibility updates. On-line registration saves time, and allows prospective students to view their eligibility status up to 6 weeks faster than through the paper registration process. If you do however prefer the paper process you may get information in the Guidance Office. Once you have registered you should be certain to let Mrs. Foster, in the Guidance Office, know so that your transcript can be sent to NCAA. After you graduate a final transcript will be automatically sent to the clearing house to confirm your graduation.
