Baruch College is a member of the NCAA Division III, and strictly follows all rules and regulations for an institution that participates on the intercollegiate level.
If you have any intention of playing for a Baruch athletic team, you must complete the NCAA Eligibility Form, and turn it in to our NCAA Compliance Coordinator - Allison Gunther on Level B1, Room 118.
This form is then sent to the Registrar's Office and any colleges you have transferred from to determine how many semesters of eligibility you have remaining here at Baruch College.
This process may take up to a couple of weeks, so please complete it as soon as possible. You CAN NOT participate in any athletic contest until you have been determined eligible.
