UPDATE (07/29/14 - 10:00 AM): The NCAA Compliance Forms Portal is back up and running. All forms submitted prior to the afternoon of July 28 have been pushed through the NCAA portal and emails have been sent out. Thank you for your patience!
Dear Wentworth Students,
This email is for ANY student – both returning students and
incoming freshmen/transfers – who has an interest in trying
out for any varsity athletics team during the 2014-2015 academic
year.
If you are interested in playing ANY intercollegiate, varsity
sport at Wentworth this year, there are several forms you need to
fill out before you may begin practicing. You now have direct
access to ALL of the institutional forms through the Current Student-Athlete section of the
Athletics website (everything is being done electronically, except
for the pre-participation physical form, which can be downloaded as
a PDF), but in order to access the NCAA-mandated forms, you need to
fill a sport registration form out so that you can be activated in
the NCAA system. Once you have been activated, you will receive an
email with a link to the NCAA forms. Registration forms are
typically processed through our system and uploaded to the NCAA
site within one to two business days. Please be advised that no
forms will be processed from July 17-28.
Please note that due to a reconfiguration of the NCAA site,
ALL student-athletes
(new and returning) need to fill out the Sport Registration Form.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Once you fill out the registration form you will have received an
email from the aforementioned “nobody(at)ncaa(dot)org,”
which contains your login information. Again, this process and all
of the other forms under this section of the website are mandated
for anyone who wishes to try out for a team. Just because you were
a member of a team last year does not exempt from doing this.
Please note that you can not fill out the NCAA forms until you
have been registered in the system as each student-athlete is
assigned a different code. Forwarding the email to anyone who
hasn’t been registered in the system will not work for those
recipients. Additionally, you have seven (7) days from the time the
email is sent out in order to complete these forms before the
system times you out and you will need to be reset through our
office. If you are under the age of 18 when you fill out the
registration form, you need to also fill out the PDF version of the
NCAA Drug Testing Consent Form, as it requires a parent or guardian
signature. If you are over 18 when you’ve registered with the
NCAA, please do not fill this form out.
In order to streamline the process there is only one internal form
that needs to be filled out online, the 2014-2015 Student-Athlete
Biographical Form. This form combines the historical questionnaire
and the sports information questionnaire. With this new process,
all student-athletes are required to fill out this form each year,
however returning student-athletes are required to fill out a much
shorter version. NCAA forms will always be required of all
student-athletes every year as that is an NCAA rule, not a
Wentworth rule.
When filling out the Student-Athlete Biographical Form, you will
know you have done them correctly provided: once you hit
“Submit,” you will be taken to a review screen where
you will have the chance to confirm all of your responses and in
the event there are any questions that have not been completed,
they will show up in red and you will need to go back (by clicking
“re-edit form”). If everything is correct, please click
the “Please Confirm” button. This will bring you to a
confirmation screen that says: “Thank you for
submitting your form.” If this screen did not show up, your
form was not received. Instructions are attached to this email.
Regarding the medical forms, which came under a separate cover
from the Athletic Training Office, it is strongly suggested that
students get on top of this during the summer months to alleviate
any problems there may be prior to the start of your season.
Questions pertaining to the medical forms should be addressed to
the Athletic Training Office at (617) 989-4144.
The following three documents should also be helpful to you:
Athletic Training Paperwork Checklist | Compliance Paperwork Checklist | Common Form
Submission Problems
If there are any questions regarding this, please contact the
Athletics Office at (617) 989-4655.
For more information regarding informational meetings for each
team, please contact each sport’s head coach.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!
