Athletics Compliance
Thank you for your interest in Yale Athletics. Please use this
site as a resource for information regarding your future
participation in Yale Athletics. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact the Yale Compliance Office.
Initial Eligibility/NCAA Eligibility Center
All freshman student-athletes must be certified by the NCAA
Eligibility Center. Certification has two parts, academic and
amateurism. Prospective student-athletes can register with the NCAA
Eligibility Center at any time. Following his/her junior year, a
prospective student-athlete should have a transcript sent to the
Eligibility Center and all test scores should be sent using code
9999. Beginning on April 1 prior to enrollment, prospective
student-athletes may request final amateurism certification.
For more information on the NCAA Eligibility Center, specific
requirements, and registration information, please visit www.ncaaclearinghouse.net.
Visiting Campus
We welcome you to visit Yale's campus at any time. Prior to
his/her senior year, a prospective student-athlete may visit Yale's
campus as his/her own expense at any time, with the exception of
recruiting dead periods. We invite you to contact our coaching
staffs prior to your visit. Also, please note that there are
restrictions on when coaches may begin to make telephone calls to
prospective student-athletes. However, you may call our coaches at
your own expense at any time.
Amateurism
Retaining amateur status is required for participation in varsity
athletics. Ivy League regulations require that a student-athlete be
an amateur in all sports in order to compete in any sport. This
differs from the NCAA regulations that only require a
student-athlete to maintain amateur status in the sport(s) in which
he/she competes. If you have any questions regarding your
amateurism status, please do not hesitate to contact Dan
Silverman (203-436-8309 or daniel.c.silverman@yale.edu).
Gambling
Sports wagering is a very serious issue and can lead to the
permanent loss of intercollegiate eligibility. A student-athlete
will become ineligible if he/she:
- Provides information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning intercollegiate athletics competition;
- Solicits a bet on any intercollegiate team;
- Accepts a bet on any team representing the institution;
- Solicits or accepts a bet on any intercollegiate competition for any item (e.g., cash, shirt, dinner) that has tangible value;
- Participates in any gambling activity that involves intercollegiate or professional athletics, through a bookmaker, parlay card, or any other method employed by organized gambling.
