INTRODUCTION
We are excited that you are considering joining
the great tradition of Philadelphia University Athletics. To make
your journey toward becoming a student-athlete at Philadelphia
University as smooth as possible, we want you to be aware of some
general information regarding the recruiting process for
prospective student-athletes at Philadelphia University. The NCAA
has created a comprehensive website for prospective
student-athletes that details everything from initial-eligibility,
recruiting, financial aid, and more. For extensive information
regarding these topics visit the NCAA Guide for the
College-Bound Student-Athlete.
STEPS TOWARD ELIGIBILITY
All student-athletes entering a Divsion I or II institution for
the first time must be certified as academically eligible through
the NCAA. This is done through the NCAA Eligibility Center.
