Bylaw 13.1.1.3
Grants a student-athlete permission to speak to another institution about the possibility of transferring to that institution. If permission to speak is denied by an institution, then the student-athlete may not receive aid during the first year in academic residence at the institution to which he/she transferred.

Permission to Speak (13.1.1.3):

1. A student-athlete would like to pursue the possibility to transfer.
2. The head coach must notify the sport oversight and Compliance Office.
3. A permission to speak to other institutions is granted (no blanket release).
4. If there are restrictions on the "permission to speak" then the coach needs to put this in writing to the student-athlete and proper athletic personnel.
5. A student-athlete has the right to appeal the restrictions and must notify the Athletic Department in writing to set the appeal.
6. The Faculty Athletic Representative will oversee the appeal hearing to resolve the situation.
7. If there are no restrictions, then the student-athlete is free to research any transfer possibilities.

Bylaw 14.5.1
Grants a "one time exception" to all sports other than football and basketball. By granting this exception a student-athlete is eligible for competition immediately at the institution he or she decides to attend.

Permission to Transfer (14.5.1):

1. A student-athlete decides to transfer, they must notify the head coach (no blanket releases).
2. The head coach must notify the sport oversight and Compliance Office.
3. If there are restrictions on the transfer, then the coach needs to put this in writing to the student-athlete and proper athletic personnel.
4. A student-athlete has the right to appeal the restrictions and must notify the Athletic Department in writing to set the appeal.
5. The Faculty Athletic Representative will oversee the appeal hearing to resolve the situation.
6. If there are no restrictions, then the student-athlete will be granted a transfer release.
7. Once a transfer release is granted, the Compliance Office will prepare the proper documentation, in accordance with university, A-10 Conference, and NCAA Bylaws. There are four scenarios that are possible when combining these Bylaws. You may grant or deny each bylaw independently of the other. Below is a quick reference chart.
