  2. Overview • Transfer Status • 2-4 Transfers • 4-4 Transfers • Multiple Two-Year and Four-Year Transfers • Other Considerations

  3. Who is Considered a Transfer? • Bylaw 14.5.2 • Full-time student and attends a class; • Reported for a regular squad practice; • Participates in countable athletically related activities even though they are enrolled part time; • Student-athlete receives athletic aid while enrolled in a summer term or summer school.

  4. Other Conditions Affecting Transfer Status • Regular student enrolled full time at night school. • Attendance at a branch school: • With no athletics and previously enrolled elsewhere; and • With athletics and transfer to a school other than parent school.

  5. Conditions Not Constituting Transfer • Summer school, extension courses or night school. • Branch school: • With no athletics; or • With athletics and transfer to parent school. • Second campus of institution. • Academic exchange program.

  6. Case Study - Bill • Bill has spent five full-time semesters at junior college “A” and was a qualifier coming out of high school. • Has only been enrolled full time at junior college “A”. • Does not have an Associate of Arts degree. • Has 58 transferable-degree credits with a 2.010 in those transferable credits. • What are the first two questions we need to ask about Bill?

  7. Case Study- Bill • Was Bill a qualifier? • Yes. • Has Bill been enrolled at a four-year institution previously? • No. • The answers to those questions will determine if we must follow the legislation in Bylaw 14.5.4.1 or 14.5.4.2. • Bill has only been enrolled at a junior college as a full-time student and was a qualifier; therefore, we can use 14.5.4.1.

  8. Bylaw 14.5.4 • General Rule-Residence Requirement. • All 2-4 transfers must serve a year in residence. • Unless they meet the 2-4 transfer requirements.

  9. Case Study - Bill • Bylaw 14.5.4.1 • Must spend at least one semester or one quarter full time; • Must have 12-semester or 12-quarter hours of transferable-degree credit for each term of full-time attendance; • Cumulative grade-point average of 2.000*. * Remember the grade-point average is based on the total courses that would have transferred and not just those that did transfer to your institution.

  10. Case Study - Bill • Bill spent five semesters full time and has 58 transferable credits. Bill does not average 12 hours per term. • Bill does not meet the legislation in Bylaw 14.5.4.1. • Can Bill be reviewed under Bylaw 14.5.4.2? • Yes, but why? • Qualifier.

  11. Case Study - Bill • What if Bill did not meet the legislation in either Bylaw 14.5.4.1 or 14.5.4.2? • Year in Residence. • Bill enrolls at our institution full time for two semesters and completes the following credits: • Fall - enrolls in 14 credits and completes 12. • Spring - enrolls in 12 credits and completes nine. • Did Bill fulfill the year in residence requirement? • Yes.

  12. Year in Residence – Bylaw 14.5.1.1 • In order to satisfy a year in residence requirement a student-athlete must: • Enroll in and complete a minimum full-time program for two semesters or three quarters; OR • Enroll in a minimum full-time program for two semesters or three quarters and pass a number of hours equal to the sum total of the minimum load of each of the required terms.

  18. Case Study - Cindy • What other options are available to Cindy? • What about an exception or waiver? • Discontinued/Nonsponsored Sport Exception? • Nonrecruited Student Exception? • Return to Original Institution Exception? • Two-Year Nonparticipation Exception?

  19. Exceptions for Two-Year College Transfers • Discontinued/Nonsponsored Sport Exception. • Original two-year college dropped the sport; OR • Never sponsored the sport on the intercollegiate level while the student-athlete was in attendance. • Cindy does not qualify for this exception.

  20.

  30. Case Study - Darren • What is the first thing we need to have from Darren? • Permission to contact. • No contact is permitted until previous four-year institution grants permission in writing. • Permission to contact is not necessary if transferring from a non-NCAA or non-NAIA four-year institution.

  31. Case Study - Darren • What if permission is never granted? • Second institution cannot: • Encourage the transfer; • Provide athletically related financial aid for one full academic year. • Bylaw 13.1.1.2.

Case Study - Darren • What type of transfer is Darren? • 4-4-4. • Is there an exception that Darren might meet? • What about the one-time transfer exception? • Even though he is a 4-4-4 transfer his original institution dropped basketball and therefore Darren is still eligible to use the one-time transfer exception.

  44. Case Study - Nancy • Nancy is a 2-4-2-4 transfer. • Since she was enrolled as a full-time student at junior college “B” we have to treat her as a 2-4 transfer. • Since she was not a qualifier coming out of high school which bylaw do we need to review? • Bylaw 14.5.4.2, but why? • She was not a qualifier. • She was previously enrolled at a four-year institution.

  46. Bylaw 14.5.4.2.1 • “Line in the sand.” • Student-athlete can only use full-time terms, transferable-degree credit and degrees earned since their enrollment at the four-year institution. • Since Nancy enrolled full time at the previous four-year institution, she cannot use any of the terms or credits from junior college “A” to meet the two-year transfer legislation.

  47.
