YEAR OF ACADEMIC READINESS LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL The year of academic readiness legislation

remains in the Division I cycle. The proposal could be acted upon in

January or April. The Board took no action on this proposal.

YEAR OF ACADEMIC READINESS CONCEPT

Provides additional time and opportunity for student-athletes who are academically underprepared to take remedial courses and generally enhance their academic readiness prior to transfer to a four-year institution.

Trigger for use of the year of academic readiness would be status as a nonqualifier. Student-athlete must register with the NCAA Eligibility Center and be certified as a nonqualifier.

Year must occur at two-year institution.

YEAR OF ACADEMIC READINESS

(CONTINUED) No competition in first year of collegiate enrollment -

student-athlete could practice and receive athletically related financial aid.

NCAA “clock” would not start for purposes of progress toward degree and five-year period of eligibility until after year of academic readiness.

Must attend two-year institution(s) full time for minimum five full-time semesters/seven quarters prior to transfer to the Division I institution.

On enrollment at an NCAA institution student-athlete will have maximum of two seasons of competition. Extenuating circumstances (e.g., injury) could be considered in waiver process.

Year must be used during initial year of collegiate enrollment whenever that occurs.

Current NCAA rules remain in place regarding time between high school graduation and enrollment at two-year institution.

Terms of enrollment at two-year institution must be consecutive and existing exceptions would continue (i.e., military service, peace corp, church mission).

Allow six years of athletically related financial aid within a seven year period if using the year of academic readiness.

YEAR OF ACADEMIC READINESS

(CONTINUED)

YEAR OF ACADEMIC READINESS

(CONTINUED)

NCAA Eligibility Center would provide tracking. Student-athlete and two-year institution would be required to acknowledge use of year of academic readiness during initial year of enrollment at two-year institution.

Member institutions would be notified of student-athlete’s

use of year of academic readiness through Institutional Request List (IRL).

Year of academic readiness will not be considered a denied participation opportunity for purposes of a five year clock extension request.

Year of academic readiness and five semesters or seven quarters of enrollment at a two-year institution may occur at multiple two-year institutions.
