SUNY Oneonta Athletics

Welcome to the State University of New York, College at Oneonta Student-Athlete Transfer page!

GENERAL TRANSFER INFORMATION
An athletics staff member or other representatives of the institution's athletics interests shall not make any contact in any manner with the student-athlete of another NCAA or NAIA four year collegiate institution, directly or indirectly, without first obtaining written permission to do so, regardless of who makes the initial contact.

If a current student-athlete attends another Division III institution, he/she may issue on their own behalf, permission for another Division III institution to contact them about a potential transfer. The self release will need to be forwarded to the director of athletics and/or the compliance officer at the institution of interest. The link to this form can be found below under the Self-Release Form heading.  Contact may occur during the 30-day period beginning with the date the permission to contact form was signed by the student-athlete.

Division III Transfer Flow Chart

I’m thinking about transferring out of SUNY Oneonta, but I’m hesitant about what to do?
If you are seeking a transfer, you should contact your Head Coach or appropriate member of your Coaching Staff, Assistant, Associate or Director of Athletics.  If you seek a transfer via the Assistant Director, Associate Director, or Director of Athletics, you should understand that your Head Coach will be informed of your intentions, should you ultimately decide to contact other institutions regarding a possible transfer.  However, if you wish to leave SUNY Oneonta for another NCAA Division III institution, you do not need authorization via our athletic department for permission to contact.  The NCAA has issued a “Self-Release Transfer Form” specifically for Division III athletes, which will allow release to other NCAA Division III institutions.  Normally, the institution in question will contact us to inquire about your eligibility status, so we recommend coming to us first!
