Requesting Final Amateurism Certification Graduating student-athletes who are being recruited by an NCAA Division I or II school must request their final amateurism certification from the NCAA Eligibility Center before they can be eligible to practice, compete and receive athletics aid in college. Please see this short video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kT1t6_sAZ0I or easy-to-understand PDF at https://5il.co/3cayu to learn more about this quick but vital step in the process. NCAA can't complete a student's certification without it!

It's that time of year again when seniors will want to know how to access their CCC transcripts. Please refer to the information on how to request your college transcript for classes taken either concurrently at Waverly or Online for dual enrollment credit. *Please Note - The Guidance Department does not receive a copy of a student's CCC transcript and this must be done through the College directly. In addition, the student must complete the process as the College will not accept a request from a parent/guardian. 1.
