Glossary of Collegiate Athletic Terms
If you play at a Division I school, you have five-calendar years in which to play
four seasons of competition. Your five-year clock starts when you enroll as a full-time
student at any college. Thereafter, your clock continues, even if you spend an academic
year in residence as a result of transferring, decide to red shirt, if you do not
attend school or even if you go part-time during your college career.
If you play at a Division II or III school, you have the first 10 semesters or 15
quarters in which you are enrolled as a full time student to complete your four seasons
of competition. You use a semester or quarter any time you attend class as a full-time
student or are enrolled part-time and compete for the institution. You do not use
a term if you only attend part-time with no competition or are not enrolled for a
term.
The NCAA Eligibility Center evaluates your high school academic record and amateurism
history to determine if you are eligible to participate during your initial year of
enrollment at a Division I or II college. The Eligibility Center is a separate legal
entity that provides services to NCAA member institutions.
Each school determines what full-time status means. Typically, you are a full-time
student if you are enrolled for at least 12 credit hours in a term, but some schools
define full-time student as someone who takes fewer than 12 credit hours in a term.
A student who, for purposes of determining eligibility for financial aid, practice,
and competition, has: Graduated from high school, successfully completed the required
core curriculum consisting of a minimum number of courses in specified subjects, and
obtained a specified minimum 2.3 GPA in the core curriculum.
*In January 2023, NCAA Divisions I and II adopted legislation to remove standardized test scores from initial eligibility requirements. Check with the NCAA school you plan to attend regarding whether standardized test scores are necessary for admission or scholarship requirements.

A student who has not graduated from high school or who, at the time specified in

courses, or has not presented the required GPA.

Student-athletes are given a five-year clock to compete in four seasons. A redshirt
year is often used for academic or athletic improvement and can be used anytime within
the five years.
Only happens before enrolling in a full-time semester/quarter. If a student-athlete
enrolls in less than 12 units, then he/she does not start his/her clock. This is considered
a grey shirt year.
Any competition, regardless of time, during a season in an intercollegiate sport
will be counted as a season of competition in that sport, except as provided in Bylaws:
(12.8.3.1.1, 12.8.3.1.2, 12.8.3.1.3, 12.8.3.1.4, 12.8.3.1.5 and 12.8.3.1.6.) This
provision is applicable to intercollegiate athletics competitions conducted by a two-year
or four-year collegiate institution at the varsity or sub-varsity level.
