IF you have played or been on the game sheet - you have used a year of eligibility in Canada!
This means you are required to sit out 1 year (365 days) if you want to play at another Canadian University within U Sports.
Note: Student-Athletes who have attended or wish to transfer from a CCAA school can transfer to U Sports schools without the 1 year penalty as long as they meet the academic requirements.
An athlete, who has participated in a recognized sport of U SPORTS at a member institution, irrespective of consuming a year of eligibility for that participation, shall not be eligible to transfer and participate in the same sport at another member institution in the same academic year.
A student-athlete who transfers from one U SPORTS member institution team to another member institution team after having been assessed one year of eligibility, must not participate in any competition (conference or non-conference) for a period of 365 days from the date that the athlete last participated in the recognized sport of U SPORTS at the previous U SPORTS institution in order to be eligible for U SPORTS participation
Can I transfer to a U Sport School from a CCAA / Non-Canadian School after year 1 or otherwise?
A student-athlete, who transfers to a member institution team from a post-secondary degree or non-degree granting institution team that participates in the Canadian Colleges Athletic Association leagues shall be eligible to participate immediately in U SPORTS competition, unless:
