The NDIAA transfer form is to be used for any transfer by a high school athlete from a Deaf school to another Deaf school. NDIAA’s regulations do not supersede the rules as established by the new school’s athletic state association. This form also does not apply to students who are incoming freshmen.

Non-compliance by any school involved in such a transfer may result in the school being barred from regional and national deaf tournaments. Furthermore, the athlete and school may be ineligible to receive NDIAA end-of-season awards and recognition.

If a student from a Deaf school approaches another school’s administrators, coaches, and/or employees to inquire about transferring, the student should immediately be referred to the new school’s admissions office.

Additionally, the student’s current school athletic director must be informed. Making inquiries does not violate NDIAA’s recruitment policies.
