Answer No.   NCAA Bylaw 13.15.1.9 shall not provide academic expenses or services (e.g., tutoring, test preparation) to assist a prospective student-athlete in completing initial-eligibility or transfer-eligibility requirements or in improving his or her academic profile in conjunction with a waiver request. 

Registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center Required for an official visit or written offer of athletically related financial aid 1. Completed the online registration process on the NCAA Eligibility Center website, which includes an agreement to the Ethical Conduct statement per NCAA Bylaw 10.1, and 2. has made a successful payment or indicated that he or she is eligible to receive a fee waiver The prospect will receive a payment confirmation email, as well as an email confirming successful registration with his or her 10-digit NCAA ID

Registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center To qualify for a waiver of the NCAA Eligibility Center fee, the prospect must already have received a fee waiver from ACT or SAT.  Prospects who qualify for a fee waiver may be provided an official visit or written offer of athletically related financial aid even if the high school official has not yet attested to the fee waiver.  

Registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center To determine whether a prospect has successfully registered, we follow these steps: Log on to the NCAA Eligibility Center's Member Institution Portal and enter our login information. Navigate to the IRL tab and then IRL Activation to search for the prospective student-athlete.  If the prospect does not appear on the IRL Activation search page, that student has NOT registered and is NOT permitted to take an official visit or be provided a written offer of athletically related financial aid.  If the prospect's name and NCAA ID appear, the student is considered registered, and is eligible in that regard to receive an official visit and a written offer of athletically related financial aid.

Official Visits – Test Scores For now… A high school PSA does not need to present a score from a PSAT, SAT, PLAN or ACT prior to an official visit This does not change what is needed to be a qualifier with the NCAA Eligibility Center

Answer No.   Daily and weekly hour limitations do not apply to countable athletically related activities occurring during an institution's term-time official vacation period as listed in the institution's official calendar, and during the academic year between terms when classes are not in session. If such vacation periods occur during any part of a week in which classes are in session, the institution is subject to the daily and weekly hour limitations during the portion of the week when classes are in session and must provide the student-athletes with a day off which may be a vacation day.
