Beginning in the fall of 2011, all athletes who play for an NAIA school will be required to register through the NAIA Eligibility Center. First-time NAIA participants-high school students, transfers from Non-NAIA schools and those who have never participated in athletics at an NAIA-member school- must register with the online service.  

The athlete will need to go to www.playNAIA.org starting September 1, 2010, to register and provide information such as contact information, high schools, and other schools attended, as well as a history of sports participation during and after high school graduation.  Also athletes will need to specify the code "9876" on their ACT or SAT, in order for their results to be sent to the NAIA Eligibility Center.  The athlete will need to have transcripts from their High School guidance counselor or college registrar sent to the center and a payment will need to be made. Students that qualify for a waiver of testing fees of for a free or reduced school lunch program are eligible for a waiver of the registration fee.  The certification of NAIA eligibility is separate from NCAA certification. 

If you have any questions you may contact anyone in the Tennessee Wesleyan Athletic Department for more information.
