Case Study: Ron
In a perfect world…
Ron is a football SA at Coastal Tides College, a two-year college in South Carolina.
He is in his third full-time term (fall 2014).
The coach at your institution began to recruit Ron and he wants him to enroll beginning fall 2015.

and they are transferring as English, math and science.
Done. Move on to the next student.
Case Study: Ron
In reality:
Ron is a football SA at Coastal Tides College, a two-year college in South Carolina.
He is in his fourth full-time term (spring 2015).
The coach at your institution just began to recruit Ron and he wants him to enroll beginning fall 2015.
Next Steps
What is Ron’s initial-eligibility status?Qualifier.Nonqualifier.Didn’t register.
How do you handle Ron’s case if he didn’t register with NCAA Eligibility Center?
Transfer evaluation form. Do you have one?
Get official transcripts.
Preliminary Transfer Evaluation Form
What does it tell you about Ron?Nonqualifier.Transfer GPA of 2.830. How did you obtain
this number? Transcript, registrar?No PE activity hours. Is this correct?Earned 45 hours with 12 hours in progress.Transcript says that he earned the core
courses. Are they transferring as English, math and science?
Sharing of Information
Who needs to see what you have gathered in the initial stages?Registrar or certifying officer.
○ Are those core courses going to transfer in appropriately?
○ Are the hours he completed so far transferable degree credits?
○ How many of those hours will help Ron meet PTD?
Final Evaluation
Ron will:Earn his Associate of Arts degree (A.A.) at
the end of the 2015 spring term.Have the requisite 48 credit hours and
transfer GPA.
Ron needs:Three credit hours, each, of math and
science courses.○ Math=Statistics and Science=Geology
Options for Ron
He is three weeks in the 2015 spring term and Coastal Tides doesn’t allow adding after week two.
Summer school?Coastal Tides does not have summer
classes.
Is this it for Ron?
Part Time at a Four-Year School
You inform Ron of the news that he needs to earn three credit hours of math and science each.
Can he take them at your institution over the summer?Yes, as long as he doesn’t trigger transfer
and the credit earned at four-year institution legislation is satisfied.
NCAA Division I Bylaws 14.5.2, 14.5.4.5.2 and 14.5.4.5.6
Two Prong Analysis
Ron now meets all of the transfer requirements.
What else should you be tracking on?Did he earn six hours during his last full-time
term?He is going into his third academic year (5th
full-time semester). Has he earned at least 40% of the requirements for his degree?
Degree Credit
Earlier you asked the registrar or the certifying officer how many of his hours would help him meet PTD in a specific degree program.
It was determined that only 40 credit hours will go toward a degree in Criminal Justice.
Ron really wants to do Criminal Justice and no other degree program will satisfy percentage requirements.
More Summer Classes?
Ron needs eights hours to meet percentage requirements. How are you going to advise Ron? Can he take more summer classes?• After looking at his transcript you see that he took nine
hours of courses in summer 2014.
Isn’t there a summer hour limit for transfers?
Summer terms Hours
Summer 2014 9 hours
Summer 2015 14 hours (6 core courses and 8 major hours)
Total 23 hours
Summer Hour Limit
No more than 18/27 hours total.
No more than nine/13.5 hours in the summer prior to transfer.
Only applies to transfer legislation, not PTD.
Bylaw 14.5.4.2.3

Fall 2015
Ron passed all of his summer courses and was able to get to campus in time for fall camp.
Ron meets with his advisor to get placed in classes that are available. Classes are limited because Ron was not on the priority registration list.
Ron is ultimately enrolled in 13 upper level credit hours.

Spring 2016 - Major Change
You now know that you must advise Ron to earn at least 27 hours prior to fall 2016.

How should Ron be advised further?
Is he making the road to earning 27 hours steeper?
Change of Degree Program During Term

No Bachelor of Arts Degree in Football Ron sustained an injury to his knee during the
spring game in 2016. His injury will keep him sidelined for several months.
During the 2016 spring term, Ron earns 18 hours and he earns 9 hours over the summer.
Preparing for the Future
Ron gets his act together academically and he is thinking about life after football. He wants to participate in an internship and maybe even start taking classes to prepare him for law school.
He is ahead in his degree percentage and his GPA is solid. He now wants to explore.
