Compliance Question Of The Week
Compliance Question Of The Week
Question:
I've been hearing that the NCAA rules are changing for 2-4 transfers. Will that impact any 2-4 transfers I am recruiting to IU for fall 2012 or for 2013-14?
Answer:
The rules are changing for any 2-4 transfers who are NCAA Non-Qualifiers, but these new requirements for two-year college and 4-2-4 college transfers are effective for student-athletes initially enrolling fulltime in a collegiate institution on or after August 1, 2012, meaning prospective student-athletes who start college fall 2012, will be held to the new requirements when they try to transfer to IU January 2014 or 2014-15 and thereafter.
***Help us help you! Please try to get the birth date for any prospective transfer student-athletes; this information plus the correct name helps us check the student(s) with the NCAA Eligibility Center to confirm the official status---many prospective athletes think they are NCAA Qualifiers when they are not! We need to know to apply the correct NCAA requirements.***
See the information below for the current NCAA rules for 2-4 transfers which will apply to S-A's entering IU 2012-13 and 2013-14:
Two-Year College Transfers Rules for NCAA:
Rules if NCAA Qualifier out of High School (14.5.4.1): If NCAA Qualifiers out of high school, students can be immediately eligible for competition at IU if they meet the following:
1. Has spent at least one full-time semester or one full-time quarter in residence at the two-year college (excluding summer sessions);
2. Has presented a minimum GPA of 2.00; and
3. Has satisfactorily completed an average of at least 12 semester hours of transferable-degree credit acceptable toward any baccalaureate degree program at IU for each full-time academic term of attendance at the two-year college.
4. If the student has attended the two-year college for two full years, then the student must have 40% of an IU degree completed to meet continuing eligibility requirements.
Rules if NCAA Non-Qualifier out of High School (14.5.4.2): A transfer student from a two-year college who was not a Qualifier is eligible for athletic financial aid, practice and competition in the first year in residence at IU ONLY if the student has done the following:
1. Has graduated from the two-year college;
2. Has completed satisfactorily a minimum of 48-semester hours of transferable-degree credit acceptable toward any baccalaureate degree program at IU, including six-semester hours of transferable English credit and three semester hours of transferable math credit (remember the lowest level of math that IU will transfer for degree credit is calculus or finite math IF IU's math department approves it);
3. Has attended the 2-year college as a full-time student for at least three semesters or four quarters (excluding summer terms); and
4. Has achieved a cumulative GPA of 2.000.
5. If the student has attended the two-year college for two full years, then the student must have 40% of an IU degree completed to meet continuing eligibility requirements.
Remember that Indiana University has requirements for transfers in addition to the NCAA ones; these listed below apply to all transfers both 2-year and 4-year:
1. IU wants 26 hours of transferable degree credit to admit a transfer without going back to look to see if he/she is admissible out of high school.
2. IU transfers courses only if the student earns a grade of "C" or higher ("C-" or lower grades do not transfer to IU).
3. IU would like to have a transfer GPA of 2.50 (including all courses attempted whether they transfer to IU or not), but the absolute minimum is a 2.00 transfer GPA.
4. IU considers any math class below the calculus level to be remedial math that doesn't get IU degree credit.
5. IU will not give MATH-M 118 Finite Math credit to a JC finite math class until the IU Math Department reviews the content of the course and approves counting it as M 118.
6. IU is not permitted by the state of Indiana to give degrees in Engineering or Agriculture; therefore, they cannot give transfer credit for such courses.
7. You could be admitted to IU as a transfer and NOT be eligible for athletics aid, practice, and competition (failing to meet Big 10/NCAA rules).
Transfers from International Colleges (4-4 transfers for NCAA): (International Admissions uses the domestic transfer rules above for international transfers, but there are some additional rules)
1. IU does not give any transfer credit for English language courses earned at an international college because IU doesn't count its own English improvement courses for degree credit.
2. Any business course taken at an international school will transfer to IU as an undistributed elective, which will have to be evaluated by Kelley SOB using syllabus and textbooks and other course information to determine if any IU degree credit can be awarded.
3. All 300-400 level courses (regardless of school or department) will be awarded undistributed elective credit, which will require the same individual evaluation process by the appropriate school or department as described in #2 for Kelley to award any IU degree credit.
4. These IU practices make it difficult for transfers from an international college to meet NCAA/Big Ten eligibility requirements entering 3rd year of enrollment or higher which are IU degree completion percentages of 40% (3rd year), 60% (4th year), and 80% (5th year). The individual evaluations of courses by schools and departments take a long time and require the prospective transfer to supply a great deal of information, so application to IU should occur early in the academic year prior to the desired admission date to complete these evaluations to know whether the transfer can meet the appropriate eligibility requirements.
Essentially, there's no recruiting at IU camps, or as we like to call it; Bylaw 13.
