What are the possible outcomes of the certification?
The NCAA has three certification decision options: • Certified: operating in substantial conformity with NCAA operating principles. • Certified with conditions: operating in substantial conformity with the NCAA operating principles but full certification is withheld until identified problems are corrected. • Not certified: not operating in substantial conformity with NCAA operating principles, and identified problems are considered so serious or pervasive that action must be taken by the institution before it can even be conditionally certified. (Institutions that are not certified may be ruled ineligible for NCAA championships. Ultimately, the institution’s NCAA membership status may be affected).
