COMMON QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Q:	Is the institution required to submit Forms 02-2 and 02-2 to the NCAA national office by September 15?
A:	No.  At the 1995 NCAA Convention, legislation was adopted to keep these compliance forms on campus. Therefore, the institution should not send Forms 02-1 and 02-2 to the NCAA national office.  The forms should be completed and filed in the office of the director of athletics by September 15.

Q:	Which athletics department staff members are required to sign and date Form 02-2, the Certification of Compliance for Staff Members of Athletics Departments?
A:	Form 02-2 must be signed and dated by all athletics department staff members (including, but not limited to, part-time staff members, graduate assistants, volunteers and midyear hires) who were at the institution during the academic year (2001-02) preceding the 
September 15 deadline.  New athletics department staff members for this academic year (2002-03) and clerical personnel are not required to sign and date the form.

Q:	Must the names of 2001-02 staff members who are not returning be listed on the form?
A:	Though nonreturning staff members do not have to sign the form, it is best to list their names, indicating in their respective signature blanks that they are not returning.  If these names are not listed, the timeliness of recording completed forms may be compromised.

Q:	Must a staff member with multiple responsibilities sign more than once?
A:	No.  However, all titles and sports must be listed by his or her signature.

Q:	Must a staff member who is returning to the institution, but NOT returning to the athletics department, sign the form?
A:   	No.

Q:	Must the entire date be completed?
A:	Yes.

Q:	Must volunteers sign the form?
A:	Yes.

Q:	How can I obtain a copy of Forms 02-1 and 02-2?
A:      These forms are available via the NCAA website (www.ncaa.org).
