The Junior College must apply to the NJCAA on the athlete’s behalf. However, the athlete will need to provide appropriate documentation to support the application.
The NJCAA recently changed the medical hardship waiver requirements. The limitation on the maximum number of games or events is now 30% of a student-athlete’s season rather than 20%.
In addition, this rule change can be applied retroactively. This is great news for current and past junior college athletes who may have just exceeded the limit by one or two games!
