Guidelines for NCAA Signing Day 2022-23
To celebrate our student-athletes who will be continuing their athletic careers in college, Notre Dame Academy has established the following guidelines for signing/celebration days. Please click the link below for dates of signing periods.
The National Letter of Intent (NLI) is a binding agreement between the student-athlete and a NCAA Division I or Division II academic institution, which has offered the student-athlete financial aid. These athletes will be afforded the opportunity to celebrate their accomplishment of grant-in-aid on or after they are permitted.
All student-athletes who have received a NLI offer will be recognized anytime during this signing period. Based on the NCAA’s recommendation, student-athletes with a commitment to a Division I or Division II institution that does not offer NLIs (Ivy League Schools and Service Academies, for example) will be invited to participate. Also, Division I athletes receiving a preferred walk-on offer will be allowed to participate in a commitment ceremony.
NCAA Division III, NAIA and Junior College athletes will be celebrated together after Easter break in a group ceremony honoring their accomplishment of competing at the next level.
The Athletic Department will share signing day photographs and information with the local media.
Student-athletes planning to continue their athletic careers in college should let the Athletic Department and their respective head coach know as soon as the NLI has been made available or the student has been admitted to the academic institution.
