Under these rules, student-athletes may be granted an additional year of competition due to “hardship.” These rules allow student-athletes to complete four seasons of competition during five consecutive calendar years after initial full time collegiate enrollment for Division I or four seasons of participation during the first 10 semesters or 15 quarters in which the student is enrolled in a collegiate institution in at least a minimum full-time program of studies for Divisions II and III. In addition, NCAA bylaws specifically permit member institutions to approve an extra one-year extension of the five-year period or 10- semester/15- quarter period of eligibility for a female student-athlete due to her pregnancy. The bylaw allows pregnant student-athletes to complete four years of competition within six years or 12 semesters/18 quarters. A pregnant student-athlete who competed during, but did not complete the season, may be granted a hardship waiver and be awarded an additional season of competition, provided there is contemporaneous medical documentation that indicates the student-athlete was unable to compete for the remainder of the season.
