Executive Committee Approves Eligibility and Transfer Rules

The new by-laws will be up for formal approval on May 5.

INDIANAPOLIS - Changes to student-athlete eligibility and transfers is one step closer to becoming official. 

During its February meeting on Friday, the IHSAA Executive Committee approved a basic framework that would make changes to eligibility and transfers of the IHSAA Member School By-Laws. 

:The initial changes approved on Friday are expected to further align with the Indiana State Legislature's School Choice initiatives," said Commissioner Paul Neidig. 

The proposed rules include: 

  • Students whose first transfer is from IHSAA Member School to IHSAA Member School will maintain full eligibility if it occurs during their first six semesters of high school.
  • Second and subsequent transfers and transfers from non-IHSAA Member Schools will be handled in a similar fashion to the way they have been in previous years.
  • Students whose second transfer involves a return to the IHSAA Member School where they established their initial promotion eligibility will retain full eligibility within 365 days of their enrollment date at the previous school.

This new by-law would take effect on June 1, 2025. 

This measure will automatically return to the agenda for the IHSAA Board of Directors for formal approval at its annual meeting on Monday, May 5.
