Division I– Transfer Regulations–
Residence Requirement – General Principle –
A student who transfers from any collegiate institution is required to complete one full academic year of residence at the certifying institution, unless the student satisfies the applicable transfer requirements or qualifies for an exception.
In baseball and basketball, a transfer student-athlete who satisfies the applicable transfer requirements or qualifies for an exception, but initially enrolls as a full-time student after the first term of the academic year shall not be eligible for competition until the ensuing academic year.
2
Permission to Contact An athletics staff member shall not make
contact with the student-athlete of another NCAA or NAIA four-year collegiate institution, directly or indirectly, without first obtaining the written permission of the first institution's athletics director (or an athletics administrator designated by the athletics director).
If you are interested in a SA at another 4 year institution, contact the compliance office and request permission to contact a SA. The compliance office will complete the “Permission to Contact/One-time Transfer Exception” form and send it to the appropriate institution.
3
Permission to ContactIf permission is not granted, you (Head Coach):
shall not encourage the transfer; and shall not provide athletically related financial
assistance to the student-athlete until the student-athlete has attended UL for one academic year.
If permission is granted to contact the student-athlete, all applicable NCAA recruiting rules apply.
*Note: Other rerepresentatives of the institution's athletics interests are not allowed to be involved in any capacity in the recruitment of PSAs.
Intra-Conference TransfersA SA transferring from one Sun Belt
Conference institution to another Sun Belt Conference member is ineligible for participation and competition in that sport for two years from the date of transfer.
An institution would have to get approval by the AD of the institution the SA was transferring from, and would need a statement from the SA verifying that he/she was not a recruited SA at the current school and why he/she wanted to go to the new SBC school.
Exceptions to Intra-Conference TransfersThe first institution is placed on probation in the
student-athlete’s sport; orThe first institution discontinues the student-
athlete’s sport from varsity status.The student-athlete was not involved in any
violations, which resulted in his/her previous institution being placed on probation.
4-2-4 TransferA 4-2-4 transfer student who attended a Sun Belt
institution prior to enrolling at a junior college may transfer without penalty to another Sun Belt Conference institution subsequent to graduating from the junior college and completing all NCAA requirements.
University of New OrleansAny student-athletes who transfer from UNO
will not have to serve the intra-conference penalty due to UNO moving to Division III status.
However, you must receive “Permission to Contact” from UNO for any student-athletes you wish to speak with.
