"NCAA Expands Transfer Eligibility Rules for Division I Athletes"

The Division I Council has unanimously approved changes to transfer rules, allowing student-athletes who meet certain academic eligibility requirements to be immediately eligible at their new school, regardless of previous transfers. Undergraduate and graduate transfer student-athletes must meet specific academic criteria to be eligible, and are expected to enter the Transfer Portal within their sport's notification-of-transfer windows. The Division I Board of Directors will ratify the rules later this month, and may also consider creating a Transfer Academic Progress Rate and a Graduation Passport to track academic progress and graduation outcomes for transferring student-athletes.
