Note to the reader...

The NCAA Athletics Certification Self-Study Instrument is designed to assist participating NCAA member institutions in the Division I athletics certification program, as well as members of peer review teams that will be conducting campus evaluation visits. The self-study instrument was developed by the NCAA Division I Committee on Athletics Certification.

The self-study instrument has been organized into three sections, consistent with the certification program’s three basic topic areas (governance and commitment to rules compliance, academic integrity, equity and student-athlete welfare). Further, each section is formatted so that institutions’ self study reports are completed in as consistent a manner as possible.

To ensure that the self study instrument is a useful and up-to-date resource guide, the NCAA revises it annually and distributes it each year to institutions and peer reviewers involved in the certification process for the upcoming year.

We hope that the self-study instrument is useful and that it contributes to the successful completion of campus self-studies and to the fair evaluation of those self-study efforts by members of peer-review teams.

Users of the self study instrument are encouraged to submit questions or suggestions regarding the use of the publication to:
