Mid-Year Junior College Transfer Reminders
If you’re planning to transfer from a Junior College to an NCAA school, here are some things you need to know before you can take an official visit:
- If as a first-year junior college athlete you are a Non-Qualifier for Division I (based on your high school academic performance), you are NOT allowed to take an official visit to a Division I university until you complete your freshman year at the two-year college.
- In addition, there are specific academic requirements that must be satisfied by a junior college athlete to be eligible as a transfer to an NCAA university, whether as a 2-4 transfer or a 4-2-4 transfer. And it’s important to know that requirements differ between NCAA Divisions I, II and III.
- ALSO, If your junior college athlete has only been told that they must earn their Associates Degree to be eligible when they transfer to an NCAA university, that’s not a complete and accurate answer for what it takes to be eligible as a transfer from a two-year college.
