Student Athlete Certification Coordinator / Enrollment Services Coordinator

Certifying officials certify student-athletes for eligibility to officially practice, compete, and receive athletic scholarships in accordance with NCAA and Big Ten rules. Many different variables impact whether a student-athlete may represent MSU in competition. Certifying officials encounter various scenarios requiring significant decision making to understand the impact of these variables in this technical process.   

All athletic certification activities are subject to audit by the NCAA, State Auditors, and Internal Auditors. Certifying officials have a responsibility to uphold the integrity of the academic record.
