I have colleges who are interested in having me come to their campus for an “official visit” but I am not yet
registered in the NCAA Clearinghouse. Can I wait until I have been given formal offers to take care of this
registration?
No, in order for a school to pay the travel and room/board expenses for an “official
visit”, you must have an NCAA Clearinghouse ID number, which means you must
have formally completed the NCAA Clearinghouse registration process.
