Two dead period reminders
Two dead period reminders today:
• Men's basketball. This is a new dead period that was created as the result of the adoption of Proposal 2007-053-B. The dead period runs from the day after the conclusion of the spring National Letter of Intent signing period to the day before the first permissible day to conduct institutional basketball camps. [This sheet was updated on May 13; look for the "Corrected 5-13-08" tag at the bottom.]
• Women's lacrosse. This dead period surrounds the NCAA Division I Championship.
Certifying mid-year transfers
A new interp from LRIC, dated April 30, 2008:
Application of 18/27 Credit-Hour Requirement to a Midyear Enrollee or Midyear Transfer Student-Athlete (I)
The committee determined that an institution is not required to certify the 18/27 credit-hour requirement for a midyear enrollee or transfer student-athlete until the completion of two regular, full-time semesters or three full-time quarters at the certifying institution. After the initial certification, the institution shall certify the 18/27 credit-hour requirement based on the student-athlete's record since the beginning of the previous fall term. For example, an institution would not certify the 18/27 hour requirement for a student-athlete who initially enrolls at the institution in the spring semester or winter quarter until the start of the following spring semester or winter quarter. Thereafter, the institution would certify the 18/27 hour requirement prior to the start of each fall term.
[References: NCAA Division I Bylaws 14.4.3.1 (credit-hour requirements); 14.4.3.1.4 (application of rule); staff interpretations (4/16/08, Item Nos. 2 and 3), which has been archived]
