The student-athlete may not have participated in more than 3 contests or dates of competition or 30 percent of the team's completed contests/dates of competition which ever number is greater (round up any decimal, ex. 41 games x .3 = 12.3 {round up any decimal} = 13). The injury or illness must occur prior to the first competition of the second half of the season. The injury or illness does not have to occur during practice/competition, but it must be incapacitating. Appropriate and contemporaneous medical documentation must exist throughout the injury and must be provided for the waiver application.
Keep in Mind Eligibility Clock Implications: Even if a SA Redshirts* one year and receives a Medical Hardship Wavier the next year, the SA is still under a 5 year eligibility clock (i.e. 3 years of eligibility remaining in his or her 5 year clock). Only if the SA receives a second Medical Hardship Waiver can the 5 year clock be extended to 6 years (i.e. 3 years of eligibility remaining in his or her 6 year clock). *the NCAA does not consider a redshirt beyond an SA’s control.
Contact Period In-person, off-campus, recruiting contacts and evaluations.
Quiet Period In-person recruiting contacts ONLY on campus. Evals may continue.
Evaluation Period Off-campus activities designed to assess the academic qualifications and playing ability of prospects. NO inperson, off-campus contacts.
Dead Period NOT permissible to make in person contacts or evals on- or off-campus or to permit official or unofficial visits.

YOUR ONE STOP SHOP FOR ANSWERS! Q: May a prospective student-athlete serve as a demonstrator at a member institution's coaches clinic?
11/8/2010 Through 11/11/2010* Applicable Sports:
A: NO, a prospective student-athlete is not permitted to serve as a demonstrator at a member institution's coaches clinic. In sports other than men's basketball, this prohibition relates to any individual who has started classes for the ninth grade and is not enrolled at the member institution. In men's basketball, this prohibition relates to any individual who has started classes for the seventh grade and is not enrolled at the member institution. Further, a member institution's coach who is presenting (e.g., lecturing, instructing, demonstrating) at a noninstitutional coaches clinic is not permitted to use prospective student-athletes as demonstrators. Finally, a member institution's coach who observes a prospective student-athlete used as a demonstrator at a coaches clinic must count the observation as an evaluation. Such observation may only occur during a period in which evaluations are permissible.

Hypo: Starv'n Marvin is a current student athlete from out of state. A University booster named Charity Gooddeed invites Starv’n over to her house for thanksgiving dinner. Charity arranges for Starv’n to be pickup at the dorms that night. Charity welcomes Starv’n to her estate and immediately begins the seven course meal. During dinner, Starv’n becomes lonely for his family and Charity allows him to use her cell phone to call his parents. After several helpings of turkey, Starv’n is overcome by the high concentration of tryptophan and Charity offers Starv’n her spare bedroom for the night. Possible Violations: Meal- Compliance and Head Coach must pre-approve. Transportation- OK, so long as it is reasonable local transportation.
