IMPORTANT
With many campuses closing early and access to campus services (like the registrar's office) limited due to the pandemic, start the registration & eligibility certification process EARLY to avoid delays in processing.

Confirm Team Contact information is accurate before finishing registration to avoid delays
in receiving eligibility paperwork.

Competitors

Due to limited on-campus interactions this fall due to COVID-19, the USCSA has created a Release Form for each individual athlete to complete and sign. This form below, should be filled out and returned to your Team Captain or Administrator and allows your institution to release academic information to the USCSA for eligibility purposes.

Personal academic information is never shared publicly, but please contact the National Office with any questions or concerns.

Competitor Academic Release Form

Competitors generally must be:

• Enrolled full time (as outlined by the institution)
• In good academic standing with the institution
• ​Making steady progress towards degree
  
• Within their window of eligible years of competition

Use the link below for a detailed overview of eligibility highlights. This does not cover every eligibility situation, but does cover the majority of cases.

Contact the National Office with any questions, or to request an eligibility review from the Academic Affairs Committee.
