Official Visits
What is an official visit?
An official visit is when an institution invites you to visit campus at their expense. These visits may not last more than 48 hours. You may not make more than one official visit to any one institution and may not make more than five official visits in total. In sports other than basketball, you may not make an official visit until the opening day of classes of your senior year of high school. In men's basketball, you may not make an official visit prior to January 1 of your junior year in high school. In women's basketball, you may not make an official visit earlier than the Thursday following the NCAA Division I Women's Basketball Championship game of your junior year of high school.
Information that prospective student-athletes must provide UAB before they can make an official visit:
- A high school or college academic transcript
- A PSAT, SAT, PLAN or ACT score taken on a national testing date under national testing conditions, except that a state-administered ACT may be used to meet the requirement. The score must be presented through a testing agency document, on a high school or preparatory school academic transcript (official or unofficial) or through the use of the applicable testing agency's automated-voice system.
- An NCAA Eligibility Center (formerly known as the NCAA Clearinghouse) ID number so that we can verify that the prospective student-athlete is registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center.
