  1. Division I Two-year Transfers Alex Smith Andrew Cardamone National Collegiate Athletic Association

  2. Session Overview Through case studies, this session will focus on recent interpretations and hot topics relative to the current application of the two-year college transfer legislation. Additionally, recent legislative changes to the two-year and their application will be highlighted: Increased academic standards for qualifiers and nonqualifiers. Competition standard vs. athletics aid and practice standard for nonqualifiers.

  3. Learning Objectives • Identify changes to legislation and effective date. • Differentiate application of standard for competition and standard for access (i.e., aid and practice) for nonqualifiers. • Recognize two-year core course requirements and potential issues in regards to transferability. • Understand transfer-eligibility as one prong in overall eligibility evaluation (e.g., PTD and amateur certification).

  4. Learning Objectives Increase confidence in calculating transfer GPA and identifying resources available. Describe summer term prior to initial full-time enrollment limitations. Understand two-year transfer issue next steps (e.g., year in readiness, academic redshirt).

  5. Directors of Basketball Operations Walks Into Your Office to Talk About… • Buster from Southern California. • Director of Basketball Operations thinks Buster is: • A program-defining player. • A nonqualifier. • In his fourth semester at a two-year institution in San Francisco. • On track to graduate with his A.A. degree after this term.

  6. What Do You Need to Complete a Preliminary Transfer Evaluation for Buster? • NCAA ID to confirm qualifier/nonqualifier status. • Transcripts from each institution attended. • Transferable-degree credit evaluation from registrar’s office. • Majors of interest at the institution. • Degree audit or “what if” form from each of potential majors.

  7. Here’s What You Have • Buster never registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center. • Official transcripts are in the mail. • Registrar’s office has done a preliminary transfer-credit evaluation based on unofficial transcripts.

  8. Here’s What You Have • Evaluation shows: • Four full-time terms (2010-11 and 2011-12, with 2012 spring term in progress). • 48-transferable hours (15 in progress). • Six additional hours that would be transferable but for grades earned. • Six hours of D earned and then repeated earning six hours of F grades in those same two courses.

  9. Here’s What You Have • Evaluation shows: • One math course complete (three credits), zero English. • Eight-transferable hours labeled “PE” (all A’s). • 2.50 cumulative GPA calculated by two-year school on the transcript (D grades are included in calculation).

  10. Evaluating Buster’s Eligibility • Questions for NCAA Bylaw 14.5 exceptions: • Qualifier or nonqualifier? • What does he need to do to meet transferable-credit requirements? • Any applicable limits on number of transferable credits? • What does he need to do to meet GPA requirements? • What’s included in the calculation? • Graduation requirements from two-year college.

  11. Evaluating Buster’s Eligibility • What else needs to be tracked? • Questions regarding Bylaw 14.4 for progress toward degree: • Progress toward degree. • 40/60/80. • Six hour.

  12. NCAA Eligibility Center Certification Determines Which 2-4 Transfer Legislation Buster is Subject to: • Bylaw 14.5.4.1 Qualifier. • Minimum one full-time term, 2.0 GPA and an average of 12 hours per term. OR • Bylaw 14.5.4.2 Nonqualifier. • Graduated from two-year college. • 48-semester/72-quarter transferable (6/8 English, 3/4 math). • Three semesters/four quarters, 2.0 GPA on transfer credit.

  13. Physical Education Activity Courses • Men’s basketball 2-4 and 4-2-4 transfers cannot count more than two credits of PE activity courses to meet applicable transfer requirements. • Credit hour and GPA requirements. • Qualifiers and nonqualifiers. Bylaws 14.5.4.1.2, 14.5.4.2.4 and 14.5.6.2

  14. Physical Education Activity Courses • Exception. • For SAs who enroll in a PE degree program or education program that requires PE activity courses. • May count the minimum number of activity credits required for the specific degree program.

  15. Physical Education Activity Courses: Progress-Toward Degree All degree-applicable credits may be used for progress-toward degree and graduation requirements.

  16. PE Activity Courses Research two-year college transcripts and catalog to determine extent to which physical activity is a requirement for course credit. NOTE: Coaching theory, first aid and game officiating may not be considered physical education activity courses by your institution.

  17. Math and English Courses For nonqualifiers: Credits must transfer to the certifying institution as specific English or math credit, regardless of how the courses are identified on the two-year college's transcript. Bylaw 14.5.4.2 3-18-2009 staff interpretation

  18. Summer Courses • For nonqualifiers: • No more than 18/27 transferable hours total earned during summer. • No more than 9/13.5 transferable hours earned during summer immediately prior to transfer. Bylaw 14.5.4.2.1

  20. Calculating GPA • Grades earned in all courses that are normally transferable must be considered, even if institutional limits on number of transferable credits from the two-year. • Regardless of grade earned and whether grade would make course nontransferable. • Last grade earned in repeated course used for calculation.
