Becoming a Prospective Student Athlete
You become a prospective student-athlete once you have started classes for the ninth grade. Before the ninth grade, you become a prospective student-athlete if the University gives you (or your relatives or friends) any financial aid or other benefits that the University does not provide to prospective students generally.
You become a recruited prospective student-athlete at the University if any coach or representative of the college's athletics interests (i.e. booster) does any of the following:
- Provides you with an official visit;
- Initiates or arranges more than one telephone call with you or your relatives;
- Meets with you or your relatives at a location other than the University's campus; or
- Issues to you a National Letter of Intent (NLI).
