NEW: CFAR Exception to Reapplication Requirement
Students who receive an eligible fall 2020 decision will not be required to reapply for winter/spring 2021 eligibility center decisions even if they do not identify at their NAIA institution during the fall 2020 term. We have updated the situation analysis to reflect the situations this exception applies to. Please note, eligibility rules will still need to be met, but eligibility will be handled during on-campus certification. The exception to reapplication is only applicable for students who received fall 2020 decisions and would normally need to reapply for winter/spring 2021.
NEW: PlayNAIA Enhancements
The eligibility center released enhancements to PlayNAIA on August 14. Specific information about the enhancements is available in the release notes. This release included: providing students with additional information on their tasks, functionality needed for the COVID test score exception, and changes to the eligibility status update email. Athletics directors now have the ability to edit the recipient list of the eligibility status update email; a guide on this feature is being added to the Resources page for athletics directors.
Submitting Summer Transcripts
Students enrolled in classes this summer will be required to submit final summer grades beginning August 31, 2020 in order to receive an eligibility decision. Students with summer 2020 enrollment who do not submit transcripts complete through summer 2020 will not be placed in line for review.
