  6. Determining High School Graduation Date

  7. Determining High School Graduation • Four ways to determine the date of high school graduation: • Traditional date of high school graduation; • Early graduation from high school; • Late graduation from high school; and • Discontinued high school enrollment.

  8. Traditional High School Graduation • Traditional date. • The high school graduation date is considered to be the graduation date of the final high school class of which he or she was a member. • One-year grace period begins on the day following the date of high school graduation. NCAA Bylaw 14.2.4.2.1.1

  9. Early Graduation from High School • Early graduation. • The individual becomes a member of that class and that is the graduation date used for certification. • The individual still has a one-year grace period following the date of high school graduation. NCAA Bylaw 14.2.4.2.1.1.1

  10. Late Graduation from High School • Late graduation – required repeat year. • When an individual is required to repeat an entire year of high school he or she is a member of that class and that is the graduation date used for certification. The individual still has a one-year grace period following the date of high school graduation. Bylaw 14.2.4.2.1.1.2

  11. Discontinued High School Enrollment • Discontinued high school enrollment. • An individual who discontinues high school enrollment and participates in organized competition after the grace period will be subject to the legislation. The individual still has a one-year grace period following the date of discontinued enrollment. Bylaw 14.2.4.2.1.1.3

  12. Definition of Organized Competition

  13. Definition of Organized Competition • Competition is scheduled in advance; • Official score is kept; • Individual or team standings or statistics are maintained; • Official timer or game officials are used; • Admission is charged;

  14. Definition of Organized Competition • Teams are regularly formed or team rosters are predetermined; • Team uniforms are used; • An individual or team is privately or commercially sponsored; or • Directly or indirectly sponsored, promoted or administered by an individual, organization or agency. Bylaw 14.2.4.2.1.2

  15. Academic Year in Residence • Academic year in residence requirement is maintained. • May be fulfilled at any member institution. Bylaw 14.2.4.2.1.3 • Exception to the academic year in residence. • A transfer student who has attended a two-year or a four-year collegiate institution for at least two full-time semesters or three full-time quarters and who has satisfactorily completed an average of at least 12 semester or 12 quarter hours of transferable degree credit for each full-time academic term of attendance at the two-year or four-year collegiate institution. • An institution must provide the amateurism certification process (ACP) staff with verification, in writing, confirming that the individual meets the exception. • Such confirmation and accompanying written verification shall be completed by the institution’s academic authorities outside the athletics department (e.g., registrar). Bylaw 14.2.4.2.1.3.1

  16. Exceptions

  17. Exceptions to Organized Competition • U.S. Armed Services Exception. • Provided competition is organized and administered by the U.S. military. Bylaw 14.2.4.2.2.1 • National/International Competition. • Maximum of one year. Bylaw 14.2.4.2.2.2 • Skiing Exception. • Maximum of two years for participation in competition sanctioned by the U.S. Skiing Association and its international counterparts. Bylaw 14.2.4.2.2.3

  18. Other Useful Information

  19. Other Useful Information • Organized competition is certified by: • ACP staff at the NCAA Eligibility Center. • Part-time enrollment at the two-year college while practicing during first year will no longer impact two-year college transfer students.

  20. Division II two-year college transfer requirements

  21. Overview Transfer Triggers Qualifier with No Previous Attendance at a Four-Year Collegiate Institution (Bylaw 14.5.4.1) All Other Qualifiers, Partial Qualifiers and Nonqualifiers (Bylaw 14.5.4.2) Newly Adopted Legislation Questions

  27. Division II newly adopted legislation

  28. Additional Transferable Degree Credit • Two-year college transfers who are not qualifiers must meet additional transferable degree credit requirements. • In addition to the current requirements, must also have successfully completed the following: • Six-semester or eight-quarter hours of English; and • Three-semester or four-quarter hours of math.

  34. Review of division II academic requirements

  35. Academic Requirements Review • The review includes: • Progress-toward-degree requirements. • Initial-eligibility requirements. • Two-year college transfer requirements. • Sufficient data to support the review. • Changes in Division I requirements. • Focus on academic readiness, success and access.

  36. Timeline for Review September 2011: Academic Requirements Committee November 2011: Faculty Athletics Representatives Association January 2012: Joint meeting of the Management Council and Presidents Council (initial review) February 2012: Academic Requirements Committee March through December 2012: Review and Feedback January 2013: NCAA Convention Education Session February and July 2012: Academic Requirements Committee Develops Proposals January 2014: NCAA Convention *Importance of feedback from the two-year college community.

  37. Academic Performance of Div. II Student-Athletes by Transfer Status All APC Cohorts (2006-2009), Fall Entrants Only * 0/2 = ineligible and not retained

  38. Academic Preparation and Performance of Two-Year Transfers, Div. I vs. Div. II Division I vs. Division II, 2009 Fall Entrants

  39. Research Findings – Two-Year Transfers Into Div. I Schools • Grade-point average at two-year college is strongest predictor of first-year success at four-year college. • Ineligibility rates decrease significantly as two-year college GPAs increase. • Number of physical education activity credits at two-year college has a significant negative relationship with four-year college success. • Student-athletes with fewer physical education activity credits have better academic performance. • Core credits in English, math and science are particularly predictive of four-year college success. • Science in particular is a strong predictor of success.

  40. Concepts for Two-Year College Transfer Students The addition of transferable degree credit in a natural/physical science. Establishing a limit on the number of physical education activity courses that may be used to certify the transferable degree credit of a two-year college transfer. Establishing a grade-point average for access to practice and athletically related financial aid and a separate grade-point average for access to practice, athletically related financial aid and competition.

  46. Timeline for Increased Standards Students currently attending two-year colleges full-time are NOT impacted by these changes. Changes apply to students who enroll full-time in any college or university on or after August 1, 2012.

  47. Changes for 2-4 Transfers Who Are QUALIFIERS • Increased transferable grade-point average from 2.000 to 2.50. • Physical education activity course limit of two credits applicable to ALL sports (currently applies only to men’s basketball). • All other current requirements remain in effect. • Athletics aid and practice permissible on transfer based on qualifier status.

  48. 4-2-4 Transfers/Qualifiers Increased to 2.50 grade-point average and expansion of limit on physical education activity credits (2) to all sports will also apply to 4-2-4 transfers who are qualifiers. 4-2-4 qualifiers may receive athletics aid and practice per current application of the rule (i.e., practice if full-time student; athletics aid if complete one term at two-year institution).

  49. 4-2-4 Transfers/Qualifiers(continued) Competition in first year after transfer to Division I school only if meet 2.50 transferable grade-point average and other current requirements (i.e., transfer 12 credits per term of attendance at two-year institution, one calendar year elapse since departure from four-year institution, graduate from two-year institution).

  50. For Nonqualifiers Increased transferable grade-point average from 2.000 to 2.50 for competition purposes only (athletics aid and practice at 2.000 transferable grade-point average).
