Division I -- Schedule for certification program's second cycle announced

The NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification has approved the schedule for the second cycle of the athletics certification program.

Approximately 70 percent of all Division I schools have completed and received certification decisions, while the remaining 30 percent are currently completing the first certification cycle that began in 1993. Within the next five to 10-year period, about 318 member institutions will complete their second self-study during the second cycle of athletics certification.

Legislation for mandatory athletics certification was adopted by vote of all Division I members at the 1993 NCAA Convention as a key part of the Association's reform agenda. At the 1997 Convention, however, the Division I membership voted to change the future certification cycles from at least once every five years to at least once every 10 years, and to provide for an interim status report.

The legislation stipulates that institutions must provide an interim report at the midpoint between self-studies for institutions that have at least eight years, but less than 10 years, between evaluation visits.
