Guidelines for NCAA Signing Days

Guidelines for Senior NCAA Signing Days (2024 - 2025)

 

To celebrate our senior student-athletes who will be continuing their athletic careers in college, West Deptford High School has established guidelines for signing days. We have aligned our dates with the official NCAA signing periods, which are coordinated with the National Letter of Intent (NLI) program. The NLI is a binding agreement between the student-athlete and a Division I or Division II academic institution, which has offered the student-athlete financial assistance. We also have a Spring Signing Day for Division III, NAIA and Junior College student-athletes.

The athletics office will share signing day photographs and information. Student-athletes planning to continue their athletic careers in college should let the athletics office know as soon as the NLI has been made available or the student has been admitted to the academic institution, use this link to send the necessary information - NCAA Signing Day Form

All student-athletes, except Football, who have a National Letter of Intent (NLI) will be recognized during this signing session.
