  8. Terms to Know • Evaluation - An evaluation is any off-campus activity designed to assess the academic qualifications or athletics ability of a prospective student-athlete, including any visit to a prospective student-athlete’s educational institution (during which no contact occurs) or the observation of a prospective student-athlete participating in any practice or competition at any site. • Official vs Unofficial Visits • Unofficial - An unofficial visit to a member institution by a prospective student-athlete is a visit made at the prospective student-athlete’s own expense • Official - An official visit to a member institution by a prospective student-athlete is a visit financed in whole or in part by the member institution

  13. National Letter of Intent • The NLI is a voluntary program with regard to both institutions and student-athletes. No prospective student-athlete or parent is required to sign the NLI and no institution is required to join the program. • The NLI is a binding agreement between a prospective student-athlete and an NLI member institution. • A prospective student-athlete agrees to attend the institution full-time for one academic year (two semesters or three quarters). • The institution agrees to provide athletics financial aid for one academic year (two semesters or three quarters). • The penalty for not fulfilling the NLI agreement: • A student-athlete has to serve one year in residence (full-time, two semesters or three quarters) at the next NLI member institution and lose one season of competition in all sports. • *An important provision of the NLI program is a recruiting prohibition applied after a prospective student-athlete signs the NLI. This prohibition requires member institutions to cease recruitment of a prospective student-athlete once an NLI is signed with another institution.

  14. Verbal Commitment A college-bound student-athlete can announce a verbal commitment at any time. While verbal commitments have become very popular for both college-bound student-athletes and coaches, this "commitment" is NOT binding on either the college-bound student-athlete or the college or university. Only the signing of the National Letter of Intent accompanied by a financial aid agreement is binding on both parties.

  15. Getting Started • Identify that you want to go to college & the reasons why • Identify what majors you would be interested in • Make sure you have the grades to get into colleges you are interested in • The higher your GPA the more academic money you receive • Research which schools offer your intended major • Create a wish list • Size – Small or Big • Urban, Suburban or Rural • Close to home or Far away • Culture • Coach style • Feedback from high school/club coach about what level they think you can play at • Reach out to the college coaches to let them know of interest • Get onto recruiting websites if it’s possible • Have your current GPA and SAT/Test scores readily available • Go through NCAA Clearinghouse for Division I & II • http://ucirvinesports.com/inside_uci/compliance/future/ncaa_clearinghouse_faqs

  16. The Process • Respond to any coach who expresses interest • Reach out to coaches via email or letter • Be sure to ask the right questions • Do your research before responding or contacting coach • Determine your level of interest • If you like what you hear and the school meets most of your wish list then set up a visit • If you decide you are not really interested then please be respectful and let the coach know • Official visits • January 1st of Junior Year • One Per Institution • Meals and Lodging/travel • Unofficial visits • As many as you want • Visit any time

  17. Making the Decision • Narrow Down your Top Five • Bottom line cost for each school • Athletic Scholarship availability – none in DIII • Money is based on financial need, so look at total family contribution on your FAFSA • Outside scholarships also available • Weigh out the Pros and Cons of Each visit • Could your picture yourself at school even if you didn’t play sport? • Did you get along with the people on the team? • Did you like any of the faculty/staff that you met? • Does the school offer enough campus activities and clubs for you? • Does the Program seem like it would provide you the opportunity to play and improve?
