CASE: Late Universal Transfer Form

( Commissioner's Rulings )

June, 2006 - Commissioner's Casebook

(O.C. Art I, Sec 5, 1.5.5)
A student golf competitor had played at another postsecondary institution the previous year.  A 2pm, Thursday deadline was set for any transfer forms to be received by the ACAC office to be eligible to compete.  The form arrived at the office at 3:15pm due to a delay of the transfer form from the other postsecondary institution.  Hence, the competitor was left off of the eligibility list that is distributed Thursday for Friday’s competition. 

Ruling: 

The golfer is not eligible to participate due to the late arrival of the UTF and the resulting omission of the student from the eligibility list.
