All student-athletes seeking a transfer from Wheaton College can issue a self-release in order to speak with a coach at an NCAA Division III institution for 30 days. During those 30 days, the new Division III institution may contact you or you may contact the new institution. Self-releases are only good for NCAA Division III institutions.
If you decide not to pursue the transfer, the new college or university is not allowed to notify your current institution of the contact at any time. If you are undecided at the end of the 30-day period, you must send a new copy of this form to have additional contact with the college or university. Further, because this second release is beyond the first 30-day period, the new college or university must notify your current institution within seven days of receiving a second form that a second release was issued.
If you are a student-athlete considering a transfer to a Division I or Division II institution it is REQUIRED you speak with the Compliance Coordinator to learn of rules and regulations concerning transfer status. All communication between the student-athlete and any institution is prohibited until the self-release form has been completed and received by the institution.
