University of Jamestown

Welcome to the University of Jamestown Athletics compliance homepage. Compliance with NCAA rules and regulations is one of the highest priorities for our athletics program and institution. As a provisional member of the NCAA, the University of Jamestown is responsible for monitoring the actions of coaches, staff, student-athletes and boosters. This website provides an overview of the basic NCAA rules that impact prospective student-athletes (recruits/prospects), current student-athletes, and representatives of athletics interests (boosters, alumni, etc).
