The NAIA Eligibility Center

The NAIA Eligibility Center determines the academic
and athletic eligibility of all prospective student-athletes
It delivers on our larger promise of integrity by ensuring
not only inbound eligibility but a level of fairness among
competitors
Student-athletes who register have a unique opportunity
to connect personally with NAIA coaches before
choosing their college
The NAIA Eligibility Center

All first-time NAIA athletes must register
NCAA and NAIA are different, separate organizations, and student athletes must register with both

Eligibility Basics NAIA student athletes:
May participate four seasons in any one sport

Must meet transfer eligibility requirements
18
Student Athletes may compete in 4 seasons of
competition during their first 10 semesters / 15 quarters.
The NAIA Terms of Attendance (TOA) policy gives
student athletes more flexibility
Terms need not be accumulated consecutively
(there is no 5 year clock).
How do I know the time without a clock?
19
Did that term just count?EXAMPLE: John enrolls in 12 credits and plays in a soccer game. He then withdraws from school without attending class. Did that term count?
Yes, the term counts toward John’s term of attendance limit. Additionally, if he identifies at another school he will be charged an additional season of competition.
EXAMPLE: Zach enrolls in 9 credits at a community college and attends one class before completely withdrawing. Zach then transfers to a NAIA school and enrolls in and completes 3 credits. Did that term count?
No, the term does not count toward Zach’s term of attendance limit. Although Zach enrolled in a total of 12 credits in the semester, he was never considered a full time student nor did he ever identify with either institution.

Continuing Eligibility – Progress ruleTo compete in his or her 3rd and 4th SOC, a student athlete must have a minimum 2.0 cumulative GPA on a 4.0 scale.
28
Transfer RulesStudent previously identified at only a 2 year school:
Student is not subject to any residency requirement.
Student previously identified at a 4 year school:
A student whose previous identification and participation is at a 4 year school must be in residence at an NAIA member institution for a period of 16 weeks prior to participation.
EXCEPTION - The 16 week residency is waived if the Student Athlete (1) receives a written release from the previous athletics director and (2) has a cumulative GPA of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale.
29
Does the Residency Rule Apply?Scenario: Jill competes in one year of swimming at a 2-year institution. She then transfers to a 4-year institution where she identifies and only practices with the squad. Jill wants to transfer to an NAIA member institution
The residency rule does not apply and Jill does not need a written release.
Scenario : Erica competes in tennis for two seasons at a 4-year institution. She transfers to a 2-year institution, enrolls in 12 credits and attends one class. Erica never competes at the 2-year institution and now wants to transfer to an NAIA member institution.
The residency rule applies. Erica needs a written release from the athletics director at her 4-year institution and a 2.0 cumulative GPA, or she must sit the 16 week residency period at the NAIA institution.

Let’s take a look at NAIA Eligibility Rules in
Practice
NAIA Flexibility at Work…
31
Problem Topics:Institutional Credit
32
Institutional Credit:Examples
• Example: A student takes a placement test and based on the scores the student achieves, the student’s school requires him/her to take a developmental math class that will not count toward the student’s degree. This class is awarded credit in the sense that it applies toward full-time status and financial aid eligibility for the student. The class is graded CR/NC (credit/no credit).• This class will not count toward the student’s initial eligibility because it is not graded.
• Example: A student takes a placement test and based on the scores the student achieves, the student’s school requires him/her to take a developmental reading class that will not count toward the student’s degree. This class is awarded credit on the transcript and the student must earn a C or better to take a required college English class. • This class will count toward the student’s initial eligibility because it is required, graded, and awarded credit.
33
Problem Topics:Transfer GPA
34
Transfer GPA:Examples
• Example 1:Transcript A: 24 hours attempted, 24 hours earned, 73.5 quality points
Transcript B: 18 hours attempted, 15 hours earned, 39.3 quality points
Calculation: Total quality points (73.5 + 39.3) = 112.8 / 42 = 2.68
Total GPA hrs attempted (24 + 18)
• Example 2:Transcript A: 32 hours attempted, 26 hours earned, 62 quality points
Transcript B: 21 hours attempted, 21 hours earned, 17 GPA hours attempted, 39
quality points
Calculation: Total quality points (62 + 39) = 101 / 49 = 2.06
Total GPA hrs attempted (32 + 17)
