Name of your institution:  

You must complete this form to participate (i.e., practice or compete) in intercollegiate athletics per NCAA Constitution 3.2.4.7 and NCAA Bylaws 14.1.4 and 30.5. If you have any questions, you should discuss them with your director of athletics.

Consent to Testing

You agree to allow the NCAA to test you in relation to any participation by you in any NCAA championship or in any postseason football game certified by the NCAA for the banned drugs listed in Bylaw 31.2.3. Additionally, if you participate in a NCAA Division I sport, you also agree to be tested on a year-round basis.

Consequences for a positive drug test.

By completing this form, you affirm that you are aware of the NCAA drug-testing program, which provides:

1. A student-athlete who tests positive shall be withheld from competition in all sports for a minimum of 365 days from the drug-test collection date and shall lose a year of eligibility;

2. A student-athlete who tests positive has an opportunity to appeal the positive drug test;

3. A student-athlete who tests positive a second time for the use of any drug, other than a "street drug" shall lose all remaining regular-season and postseason eligibility in all sports. A combination of two positive tests involving street drugs (marijuana, THC or heroin) in whatever order, will result in the loss of an additional year of eligibility;

4. The penalty for missing a scheduled drug test is the same as the penalty for testing positive for the use of a banned drug other than a street drug; and

5. If a student-athlete immediately transfers to a non-NCAA institution while ineligible and competes in collegiate competition within the 365 day period at a non-NCAA institution, the student-athlete will be ineligible for all NCAA regular-season and postseason competition until the student-athlete does not compete in collegiate competition for a 365 day period.
