UNCP Athletics

Specific transfer regulations have been established by the NCAA. Before UNCP may speak with a student-athlete wishing to transfer into our institution, we must first receive permission to contact from the school which the student-athlete currently attends. In order to obtain this permission, student-athletes must begin by speaking to their head coach.

Transfers can fall into several categories. The following charts detail some of the rules for specific types of transfers.
