ARMS Tip
Before submitting your practice logs remember to review the Compliance Check to make sure that there are no errors. The Compliance Check can be viewed at the top of your Playing Season page which is found under your Team tab.
If the Compliance Check is green there are no errors with your logs but if it appears yellow than there are errors. The weeks with errors will be designated with a yellow triangle to the right of them. Clicking on the triangle will let you view the issues.
Eligibility Center Reminder
Following the completion of the Fall semester, please remember to remind your recruits to have their high school(s) send their most current transcript to the NCAA Eligibility Center. This will allow recruits the opportunity to obtain early certification as a Qualifier and will also help to speed up the certification process come summer.
Important Dates:
December 4th- Last day of countable athletically related activities for out of seasons teams
December 10th- Last Day of Classes
December 11th- Reading Day
December 12th- Finals Exams Begin
December 18th- Final Exams End
