Eligibility Issues with JUCO Transfers to NCAA Schools
Student-Athletes who start their college career at a junior college have differing academic requirements when it comes time to transfer to an NCAA school.
- Was the student-athlete a “qualifier” or “non-qualifier” coming out of high school? The answer to this will affect what a junior college transfer athlete must achieve academically to be eligible to compete at an NCAA DI or DII school.
- How many semesters did a student-athlete attend at a junior college?
- Was the student-athlete required to earn their Associates Degree before they were ruled academically eligible to transfer to an NCAA school?
If a student-athlete has not satisfied all necessary academic requirements BEFORE starting classes this Fall, they won’t be able to compete for their university during the 2019-2020 academic year and may also not be qualified to receive an athletic scholarship!
