3 1-2 GENERAL INFORMATION COMPLIANCE OFFICE MISSION STATEMENT The mission of the TCU Athletics Compliance Program is to uphold the rules and regulations of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Big 12 Conference (Big 12), and Texas Christian University (TCU); to monitor the processes and activities associated with such rules and regulations; and to educate institutional staff members, student-athletes and external constituents regarding such rules, regulations, processes and activities. TCU is committed and obligated to the principle of institutional control in operating its Athletics Department in a manner that is consistent with the letter and the spirit of the NCAA, Big 12 and University rules and regulations. The Athletics Compliance Office coordinates, monitors and verifies compliance with all NCAA requirements and educates the various constituencies of the University and the community regarding NCAA and Big 12 regulations. The Athletics Compliance Office is dedicated to providing educational programs and interpretive support to ensure that all individuals involved with the Athletics Department understand and adhere to the TCU's compliance expectations. Each individual within the Athletics Department is obligated to maintain competency in knowledge of rules, to act within his or her realm of responsibility in full compliance with the rules and to report any violations of the rules. It is the goal of the Athletics Compliance Program to place the University in a pro-active position by educating, overseeing, and monitoring the Athletics Department and maintaining a positive compliance environment.

Turn NLI request form in to Compliance Office AT LEAST 2 weeks prior to initial signing date. NLI and Financial Aid Contract returned by Compliance Office and reviewed by Coach. Graduation rates already sent to prospect. Cover letter may be requested from Compliance Office to send with NLI/FAC. NLI Returned. Copies made for Coach s records and originals returned to Compliance Office. Signing of the National Letter of Intent commits the institution to providing a prospect with a one-year scholarship in return for a one-year commitment by the prospect to attend that institution. Once the letter is signed, all other member schools MUST CEASE recruitment of that prospect. A written offer of aid (NLI and/or FAC) may not be given to a prospect until he/she has registered with the NCAA Eligibility Center (formerly Clearinghouse) A student can receive the NLI while on campus during an Official Visit NO COACH or staff member can hand deliver it off-campus or be present when the student signs the NLI (Bylaw ). An NLI can be delivered by regular mail, express mail, courier service, fax or . Walk-ons CANNOT sign an NLI An institutional financial aid agreement MUST accompany the NLI. If a prospect only signs the financial aid agreement, the institution is bound to that aid but the student is not bound to our institution.

30 4-3 FINANCIAL AID CONTRACT - NEW S/A FINANCIAL AID CONTRACT REQUEST FOR NEW STUDENT-ATHLETES/TRANSFERS Meet with Brent Cunningham, Compliance Coordinator, to determine available scholarships for the following academic year. All transfer paperwork MUST be completed with Michael O Keefe before an NLI/ Grant-In-Aid for transfer students will be complete. Submit completed form to Michael at least 2 WEEKS PRIOR to signing date so there is ample time to complete the required forms. If you are offering athletic aid to a prospect or a transfer for the first time, a grant-in-aid letter must be completed and signed by the individual and his/her parents. Be aware that we are bound to this agreement BUT if the prospect does not sign the NLI, that student is not bound to our institution. Prior to offering athletics aid to a transfer student, a preliminary articulation must be done so we can determine how many degree applicable transfer credits the transfer student will bring in upon transfer to TCU. In addition, the Athletic Academic Services Offices will complete an unofficial degree plan to verify those hours fit into a specified degree plan. International student-athletes will be taxed according to the tax rate of the specific country of origin on the total amount of all financial aid awards (including athletics aid) for room and board. These taxes will be assessed to the student s university account if the student-athlete lives on campus and will be the responsibility of the student-athlete to pay. If the student-athlete lives off-campus, the taxes will be deducted from his or her monthly check.
