A U Sports Letter of Intent (LOI) is not a prerequisite for participation in U Sports, nor is it an offer of admission to an institution or an indication that admission will be provided. U Sports institutions may, at their discretion, include the terms of Athletic Financial Awards within a U Sports Letter of Intent.
Once a prospective student-athlete becomes a confirmed recruit, the institution may provide that confirmed recruit ONE piece of university or athletic department branded apparel that does not exceed $100 in retail value. This one piece of apparel cannot be mentioned during the recruiting process. This $100 is limited to clothing and may not be used in another capacity in place of clothing (i.e.payment of application fees, etc.).
With respect to U SPORTS league sports, during the competitive season only student-athletes that are listed on their U SPORTS Eligibility Certificate or students registered at their institution can practice or occupy the institution’s team bench. The competitive season for U SPORTS fall sports is August 15 to December 1.
Once a prospective student athlete becomes a confirmed recruit they are eligible to participate in team practices off-season.
Institutions cannot provide prospective student-athletes with free membership/access to the institution’s athletic/fitness facilities; all applicable fees to community or non-students users must be applied.
Following the signing of a U SPORTS Letter of Intent and the posting of the confirmed recruit’s name to the U SPORTS Letter of Intent Registry, all USPORTS members are to immediately discontinue further recruitment of the confirmed recruit U SPORTS members are required to reference the U SPORTS Letter of Intent Registry prior to contacting any prospective student- athlete.
Prospective student-athletes and institutions may, by mutual agreement, nullify a previously signed U SPORTS Letter of Intent. Where a U SPORTS Letter of Intent is not nullified and a student-athlete attends aU SPORTS institution other than the one with which he/she initially signed, that student- athlete is unable to receive an Athletic Financial Award for the entirety of their first full academic year (September 1 – August 31)
Once signed - you will be added to the U Sports LOI Registry so the public can view that you have officially committed to a school.
