Students are able to register at any time for their PlayNAIA account. Although they can register prior to the completion of their junior year, we will not accept transcripts until at least that time.
When students complete their PlayNAIA profile, they will need to input their “NAIA Enrollment Date”. This is the approximate date that the student will begin attendance at their NAIA institution.
For example, if a student is planning to attend their NAIA school for the fall 2024 term, they can input their enrollment date as 8/1/2024.
As a reminder, early decision and freshman requirements can be found here.
