Transgender Policy

The policy outlined below applies to all practices and competitions in NCAA sports in which the NCAA conducts championships by gender. This includes all NCAA competition (regular season, conference championships, post-season, scrimmages, and exhibitions).

As with all other NCAA eligibility criteria, member schools remain responsible for certifying student-athlete eligibility for practice and competition. The application of this policy may not be waived.

Additionally, schools are subject to local, state, and federal legislation, which supersedes the rules of the NCAA.

Lakeland University Athletics is committed to providing an inclusive environment for all of its participants.  The most recent NCAA Transgender Student-Athlete Participation Policy will serve as a guide for determining transgender student-athlete participation and can be found HERE.
