NCAA
The NCAA Eligibility Center is a part of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and was created to ensure that student athletes are prepared to meet the academic rigors of college. Each year nearly 200,000 student athletes have their GPA and test scores sent to the NCAA. The NCAA processes nearly 75,000 student athletes’ accounts.
You will not be eligible to play college sports or get an athletic scholarship from an NCAA school without registering and being cleared by the NCAA Eligibility Center.
Apply to College Using CFNC
1) Go to CFNC.org.
2) Sign in to your account. Each PHS student has a CFNC account they used when registering for
their 2014-15 courses. If you do not remember your password, click “Forgot my Account Name
or Password,” and they will send you your information.
3) Click on the “Apply” link at the middle of the bar at the top of the page.
4) Click on “ College Application”.
5) Click on the first college application you plan to work on, and that school’s actual application will appear. You do not have to complete the full application in one sitting. Be sure to save your
data before leaving each page. Many applications will ask if you want to send your transcript
through CFNC…click “yes.”
6) Once you have completed all required fields, hit “Submit.”
7) If you are using a check or a Fee Waiver to pay for the application fee, you will need to print off
the Verification Page to mail to the school with the check or Fee Waiver.
8) Monitor the email address you have on your application and CFNC account. Many schools will
contact you by that email address to request additional information or update you on the status
of your application.
