National Letter of Intent (NLI)
This document is designed to provide general information regarding the National Letter of Intent (NLI) process. In addition, the NLI protocol details below explain proper procedures for the preparation and mailing of the applicable NLI documents.
Please refer to the NLI Signing Dates and the "Request for NLI-GIA" form that must be completed in full and submitted to the Compliance Office for preparation.
For prospects who have never enrolled at a four-year college, no institutional tender offers may be signed prior to the initial date for the regular NLI signing period for a given academic year. After the final date for signing an NLI for a given academic year, an institutional tender offer must be signed in lieu of an NLI, but the prospective student-athlete may not use institutional facilities or participate in team workouts of any kind until his/her enrollment at the University the following fall or the start of permissible preseason practice.
Four-year transfer prospects do not sign a National Letter of Intent – only an institutional scholarship. Please see the Compliance Office regarding when/how they can work out after signing the scholarship.
If you have any additional questions, please see the Compliance Office.
