Student-athletes who are planning on playing NCAA basketball, please speak to your coaches and parents about this new rule. For further information you can contact Yaw Afful at 647-294-6178.
The NCAA created a rule that requires students to enroll at a college/university within one year of high school graduation.
If the student does not enroll within 1 year following high school graduation, but continues to play their sport, after the 1 year period has elapsed that student will be charged with the loss of 1 of 4 seasons of competition at the NCAA Division I school. That student will also sit out of competition for 1 year upon enrollment at the Division I school.
*The rule is effective August 1, 2011 for athletes first enrolling at a Division I school on or after that date.
In sports other than men's ice hockey and skiing, a student-athlete who does not enroll in a collegiate institution as a full-time student in a regular academic term during a one-year time period after his or her high school graduation date or the graduation date of his or her class (as determined by the first year of high school enrollment or the international equivalent as specified in the NCAA Guide to International Academic Standards for Athletics Eligibility and based on the prescribed educational path in the student-athlete's country), whichever occurs earlier, shall be subject to the following: (Adopted: 1/9/96 effective 8/1/97, Revised: 4/29/04 effective 8/1/04 for competition occurring on or after 8/1/04, 4/20/09, 4/29/10 effective 8/1/11; applicable to student-athletes who initially enroll full time in a collegiate institution on or after 8/1/11)

(Revised: 4/29/04 effective 8/1/04 for competition occurring on or after 8/1/04)
