What Does the Student-Athlete Reinstatement Staff Do?
Student-athlete reinstatement is a department within the NCAA's membership services program. The student-athlete reinstatement staff processes violations and waivers that directly affect the eligibility of a prospective student-athlete or an enrolled student-athlete.
When an NCAA member school self-reports a violation, all eligibility issues are addressed first and as quickly as possible. Then, if the violation has institutional responsibility, it is forwarded to the NCAA's enforcement staff to be processed as a secondary or major infraction case.
Student-Athlete Reinstatement Mission
The mission of the student-athlete reinstatement program is to protect the competitive equity of collegiate athletics by administrating the student-athlete reinstatement and administrative review processes in servicing the NCAA membership and student-athletes. The staff strives for equity, consistency, a service-oriented partnership, and efficient and effective decisions.
