NCCAA Announces InCred as the Required Official Partner for International Credential Evaluation 

KANSAS CITY, MO – InCred announced a new partnership with the National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) on Wednesday. While it is recommended for the 2024-25 academic year, starting in the 2025-26 academic year, InCred will be required for all international students seeking initial eligibility for NCCAA competition.   

International credential evaluations assist students, admissions offices, registrars, and other university staff in determining how a student’s international education experience compares to the U.S. education system.  

"We're happy to support NCCAA members with the complexities of international academic documentation and to continue facilitating athletic eligibility for international students," said InCred Director Garrett Seelinger. "As the official international credential evaluation provider for three national collegiate athletics organizations, InCred facilitates mobility for international student-athletes on the path to success in collegiate athletics."  

InCred will provide first-class customer care and unmatched expertise in athletic compliance and international admissions to better assist NCCAA member institutions with their international student-athlete needs.  

“We are excited to join with InCred as a partner to enhance our eligibility processes in particular with the international student-athlete,” stated NCCAA Eligibility Coordinator Ben Belleman. “The number of international student-athletes in our member schools continues to grow and this partnership will assist in compliance efforts to service those students. We welcome those who serve with InCred to the NCCAA.”  

Established in 1968, the NCCAA has over 90 member institutions, offering 23 National Championships and 2 National Invitationals. For more information about the National Christian College Athletic Association, visit the NCCAA website here.
