NEW:
April 1: Cancellations & Term Change
Application Cancellations
Beginning April 1, 2020, cancellations (previously referred to as inactivation) will begin for students with winter 2019-20 or spring 2020 applications. Applications will be cancelled only for students who:
- are registered for a winter 2019-20 or spring 2020 application,
- have not completed a task since March 1, and
- are not yet in line for review.
Students whose applications are cancelled and need an eligibility decision in a subsequent term will need to have their NAIA school
start a new application
on their behalf. Students will also receive this information via email.
Term for Decision Changes
PlayNAIA’s systematic term for decision will be set to Fall 2020, effective April 1, 2020.
As a reminder, registration fees are based on the student’s type upon registration. Students who have not yet paid the registration fee or who reapply after previously registering and paying the fee may be required to pay the difference if their student type changes on April 1.
PlayNAIA Enhancements
Based on membership feedback,
eligibility center system enhancements
went live on January 27. The site slowness related to the enhancements has been resolved. Thanks for your patience as this issue was addressed.
Domestic Transcript Submission Policy Change
Beginning
March 2, 2020, all domestic transcripts must be sent through the following methods:
High School Transcripts
All official high school transcripts must be submitted to the eligibility center via the NAIA High School Portal. Other submission methods, such as mail or third-party vendors, will no longer be accepted.
Post-Secondary Transcripts
Official transcripts from all previous post-secondary institutions must be submitted directly by the issuing institution to the eligibility center. The preferred method of receiving transcripts will be through the NAIA Registrars Portal. Institutions who do not use the NAIA Registrars Portal will need to send transcripts through one of the following methods:
- Approved third-party vendors - Parchment, National Student Clearinghouse, Credentials Solutions/E-Scrip Safe; if an email address is required for these services, the student must use [email protected].
- Physical mail - official transcripts must be in a school sealed envelope and mailed to the eligibility center.
