DEFINITION OF A PROSPECT
NCAA Bylaw 13.02.9 Prospective student-athlete.  A prospective
student-athletes prospectis a student who has started classes for the ninth

grade becomes a prospective student-athlete if the institution provides
such an individual (or the individual's relatives or friends) any financial
assistance or other benefits that the institution does not provide to
prospective students generally.  An individual remains a prospective until
one of the following occurs (whichever is earlier):

(a)  the individual officially registers and enrolls in a minimum full-time
program of studies and attends classes in any term of a four-year
collegiate institution's regular academic year (excluding summer); or

(b)  The individual participates in a regular squad practice or competition
at a four-year collegiate institution that occurs before the beginning or
any term.
