What happens if your JUCO athlete signs an LOI and changes his/her mind?
- Unlike the NCAA’s National Letter of Intent, an NJCAA LOI can be offered to and signed by a recruit even if no athletic scholarship is being offered to the recruit.
- Once an athlete signs the LOI, they can’t be contacted by coaches at any other NJCAA college.
What happens if you change your mind after signing the LOI?
- The NJCAA Letter of Intent Release and the NJCAA Transfer Waiver are two separate documents. The first NJCAA college might sign the Release but not the Transfer Waiver.
- If the student-athlete doesn’t receive the Transfer Waiver from the first NJCAA college, they’ll be ineligible for competition at the new college for one full academic year.
- They may not be eligible to compete at their new JUCO for one full academic year after a transfer from another college in the same conference.
- They also may be prohibited from receiving a scholarship at the new NJCAA college.
