On some forms for college I noticed the question regarding registering for NCAA Clearinghouse. Can anyone explain what this is and is it necessary

This link is provided by HSBBW on the Recruiting Timetable information:
NCAA clearinghouse link
A student-athlete needs to register at the end of the junior year, but some students send the paperwork in a little earlier. It is required in order to determine if a student athlete is academically eligible to play NCAA sports, based on the classes taken and the grades received, as well as SAT/ACT scores. It is intended, I am sure, to ensure that the student-athlete has all his/her college prep classes in order. Be sure to check out the link and follow the requirements. Otherwise the student-athlete will not be allowed to participate in NCAA athletics.
Also, as a final thought, be sure to follow up and make sure he/she is registered in a timely manner and that nothing slipped through the cracks ... it can cause "hiccups" along the way if it isn't done in time.

"Otherwise the student-athlete will not be allowed to participate in NCAA athletics."
I believe that it is only DI that requires the clearinghouse.

It is required for NCAA Division I and Division II.
Keep in mind that the clearing house has made erros. We had a young man sit out for three weeks this fall because his paperwork was not in order at the D1 school. The player in question had a 3.87 gpa from the local HS and was lost in the shuiffle at the clearing house.
My advice is to register early andf follow up prior to going off to higher learning.

This is the first time I've gone to the clearing house site, it came up with the 2002-2003 version. Is this correct?
Again, I say they make mistakes not a criticizm just a statement of fact.
Here is the direct link to register for the NCAA Clearinghouse:

Edited: looks like the link will not take you directly to the form. You must click on "Registration Form for U.S. Students", which is on the left-hand side of the page.

I would recommend that all players register regardless of whether they are looking Division I , II or III.
