You should only submit an eligibility inquiry if you have read over the college eligibility rules and cannot determine your status.

Process/Timeline:

Eligibility Inquiries:

Mar 2nd-Sep 14th  --  Players may submit general eligibility inquiries and should receive an answer within two weeks, or the notification that their inquiry is elevated to be an official case. If the inquiry is elevated to be an official case, then the case will be on hold until Sep 15th.  At that point, the case will be treated as if it were first submitted on Sep 15th

Sep 15th-Mar 1st --  Players may submit general eligibility inquiries and should receive acknowledgement within two business days.  Within one week they will receive an answer, or the notification that their inquiry is elevated to be an official case. Players will receive case decision within 3 weeks (2 for committee research/discussion, 1 for voting) of their inquiry being an official case.

Consortium Applications:

Feb 16th-Sep 14th  --  Consortium inquiries will receive a response with two weeks. Consortium applications submitted during this period will not be considered for the current year, and will be considered on September 15th as if they had just been submitted.  Player will receive acknowledgement of the receipt of the application within two weeks of application.

Sep 15th-Feb 15th  --  Consortium inquiries will receive a response within the same timeline as general eligibility inquiries.  Consortium applications will be pre-screened, and either or elevated to the committee for discussion/voting (3 weeks total), or rejected outright if the application failed to meet the outlined criteria.
