Overview
High school, prep school, and junior college student-athletes seeking to participate in athletics at UCSC are encouraged to review carefully the recruiting information on this page.Â
Please be aware that NCAA rules place some restrictions on coaches' contact with prospective student-athletes. Coaches can contact prospective student-athletes at any time through telephone or email communications. In person communication can only occur after the prospective student-athletes sophomore year in high school.Â
If you are a current four-year college student enrolled at a NCAA institution interested in transferring to UCSC, please be aware that NCAA rules prohibit coaches from any contact with student-athletes from another NCAA institution until the student-athlete has entered the transfer portal or completed a self release (DIII only).
If the four-year college prospective student-athlete currently attends a Division III institution, he or she may use a self-release form made available by the NCAA national office in which the student-athlete and institution may make contact during the 30-day period. An additional form must be issued for contact to occur or continue beyond the initial 30-day period.
Thank you for your cooperation and for your interest in UCSC Athletics!
