PlayNAIA's New System Launches
|
The new
PlayNAIA system is now live and accessible to all NAIA members, students, and high school counselors. (A password reset is required when logging into the new system.)
Students who registered in the previous system are being notified regarding the next steps required when using the new system. Students will also be able to view previous decisions in the new
PlayNAIA, but it will take several days to complete the data transfer.
Functionality that had been temporarily unavailable since last Friday is now active, including making changes to
NAIAHelp staff pages, access to student decisions through ECP, and the ability to perform ECP ECID# look-ups.
For more information about
PlayNAIA improvements and how to navigate within the new system, please check out our resources:

Proposed Changes for Basketball Floor Marking
|
In regards to an upcoming NCAA rules committee meeting, the National Administrative Council (NAC) has made a decision that any floor marking changes adopted by the NCAA at the May meeting will not be mandated until the 2020-2021 basketball season. This is to allow institutions adequate time to plan for floor refinishing. Depending on the NCAA decision, institutions will want to plan for floor refinishing during the summer of 2020.
