What are the NAIA eligibility requirements?

The NAIA Eligibility Center certifies whether prospective college athletes are eligible to play sports at NAIA Division I or II institutions. It does this by reviewing the student-athlete's academic record (GPA) and SAT® or ACT scores.

If a student recently graduated high school, they must meet two of these requirements:

  • Achieve a minimum overall high school GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale

  • Graduate in the top half of their high school class (more about class rank letters)

  • Achieve the NAIA's minimum test score requirement (only one test score is required):

When should students register?
