Frequently Asked Questions This Time of Year
With fall sports and classes starting, here’s a sample of some of the questions we frequently get this time of year:
- I’ve started practice with my college team, but I’m not sure this is the right fit for me and I’m thinking about leaving. Will that hurt my eligibility?
- When does my eligibility “clock” start?
- Will I be considered a transfer athlete if I leave this team after starting practices at this college?
- What happens to my eligibility if I withdraw from classes after starting the semester?
- My new coach just informed me that I likely won’t receive any playing time this season. Do I have any options to transfer at this late date? Or, could I take a gap year?
- I just learned that I may not be able to be eligible at my new college this year because I don’t have enough transferable credit hours. Do I have any options for a waiver at this point?
- How do I redshirt at the NCAA Division III level?
Do you have questions like these or others?
