Transfer Rules (NJCAA)

General rules that apply to any transfer student
1. Transfer students are those who have attended any college beyond the first 15 calendar days of a term or who have participated in an athletic contest and at a later date enroll and attend classes at another college.

2. Students may not participate in the same sport during the same academic year at two different colleges. Fall participation in the sports of softball, baseball and tennis shall not prevent students from competing in the same sports during the spring season or the same academic year after having transferred from another college and satisfied all the transfer provisions of the eligibility rules. One exception is if a student has transferred from a school that has dropped his or her particular sport. Documentation of the program being dropped must be provided when submitting the eligibility.

3. Students may not participate in the same sport during the same academic year at two different colleges.

Transfers to and from a Jayhawk Conference Institution

JCCC is a member of the Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference. Its members include Allen County, Barton County, Butler County, Cloud County, Coffeyville, Colby, Cowley County, Dodge City, Fort Scott, Garden City, Highland, Hutchinson, Independence, Kansas City Kansas, Labette, Neosho County, Pratt and Seward County community colleges.

These are the guidelines set forth by the conference regarding students transferring to or from a member institution:

Any athlete certified by NJCAA eligibility roster who transfers from one KJCCC college to another KJCCC college or who signs an NJCAA letter of intent and who transfers from one KJCCC college to another KJCCC college shall forego competition for one calendar year from the date of transfer only in the sport for which he or she was certified and/or signed an NJCAA letter of intent, with the exception of two-semester sports. However, if an athlete is attending a KJCCC institution that drops the sport that he or she is certified to participate in (the student-athlete's name has appeared on an NJCAA eligibility list), that student-athlete may transfer to another community college conference institution and shall be eligible to participate in athletics, after notifying the conference commissioner.

Transfers from Another NJCAA Institution

(except Jayhawk Conference schools)
There are various rules and regulations regarding students who transfer from another NJCAA member institution. These rules and regulations are listed in the NJCAA handbook and casebook. If you fall under this category, check with the athletic director concerning these rules.

Transfers from a Senior College/Non-NJCAA Institution
Same as above.
