NCAA Division I Certification Process

The NCAA Division I Certification Process is designed to ensure that FGCU is maintaining the integrity of intercollegiate athletics and meeting the requirements and the responsibilities associated with operating a Division I Athletics program.  This includes meeting the requirements of  1) academic integrity,  2) gender/diversity and student-athlete well being, and  3) governance and commitment to rules compliance. FGCU has established the following broad-based goals for our NCAA Division I Athletics Certification Process:

• Ensure that the FGCU intercollegiate athletics program is operating in accordance with the high standards and core values of NCAA Division I.
• Identify opportunities to improve the FGCU intercollegiate athletics program.
• Involve all constituent groups in the self-study process to ensure transparency and to educate the community about the athletics program's goals and purposes and the role that intercollegiate athletics plays in the university.
