On March 16, the COP approved the National Eligibility Committee’s (NEC) recommendation to waive spring seasons of competition and grant additional terms of attendance for spring sports. To help navigate this unprecedented decision, the national office shared several FAQ documents on March 20, knowing we still had work to do in addressing the wide range of scenarios that will occur.
After additional discussion with the NEC and the Council of Faculty Athletics Representatives (CFAR), we have
added more information to the FAQs
regarding quarter academic calendars, transfer students, and pass/fail grading models.
We are aware of the concerns related to the uncertainty surrounding ACT and SAT tests and the impact on NAIA freshman eligibility standards. The NEC and CFAR are discussing this topic and recognize that a proactive alternative solution is needed. More information will be shared as soon as it is available.
Thank you for your patience as we continue to work through these issues and please let us know if you have any questions.
