Changes to Eligibility Criteria:

• 
  An athlete who forfeited Sport Canada carding by not re-locating to an Athletics Canada centralized training centre is not eligible for an Ontario Card in 2013-14;
  

• 
  NCAA – Effective August 1, 2013, the NCAA has revised their policies related to an athlete receiving funding from a government program (new language is bolded):
  

12.1.2.4.9 Exception for Training Expenses. An individual (prospective or enrolled student-athlete) may receive actual and necessary expenses [including grants, but not prize money, whereby the recipient has qualified for the grant based on his or her performance in a specific event(s)] to cover developmental training, coaching, facility usage, equipment, apparel, supplies, comprehensive health insurance, travel, room and board without jeopardizing the individual's eligibility for intercollegiate athletics, provided such expenses are approved and provided directly by the U.S. Olympic Committee (USOC), the appropriate national governing body in the sport (or, for international student-athletes, the equivalent organization of that nation) or a governmental entity.

•Please encourage all athletes considering an application to an NCAA institution to contact the NCAA Eligibility Center directly with any questions.

Residency Requirements:

Exceptions to these criteria, known as a “Residency Exception” will be considered on a case specific basis by the PSO/MSO Selection Committee provided that the athlete can substantiate in writing at the time of application/Residency Exception submission deadline their reason for living outside Ontario, as detailed below.

The PSO Selection Committee may grant a Residency Exception for an athlete if the athlete provides information to show one of the following:

The onus is on the athlete to demonstrate that he/she needs to be out-of-province for one of the above reasons. The athlete must submit written documentation to the Athletics Ontario’s Selection Committee by the posted deadline, clearly indicating how they meet a residency exception(s). As a Residency Exception is still subject to Appeal by another athlete during the Appeals Process, it is essential that all Selection Committee decisions are based on a documented submission by the athlete, the content of which will be used in the “PSO Response” to any such Appeal.

Athletes living outside Ontario for more than 30 consecutive days within the ministry fiscal year 2013-2014 for athletic or academic purposes must demonstrate, to the satisfaction of the PSO/MSO Selection Committee, that appropriate training programs are in place and are being monitored by the PSO/MSO.

The onus is on the athlete to:

1. Provide a written plan outlining their training and competition plans to the PSO/MSO prior to their departure from Ontario, as part of their Residency Exception request; and

2. Adhere to the PSO/MSO-approved competition and training plan throughout the carding cycle. At a minimum, this requires regular (PSO/MSO to define frequency and method in their Selection Criteria) contact by the athlete with the PSO/MSO (PSO/MSO to define who to contact); and

3. Submit regular (PSO/MSO to define frequency) training logs to the PSO/MSO to track progress against the PSO/MSO-approved competition and training plan.

• 
  Athletics Ontario does not discourage an athlete from submitting this documentation, despite situations of regular athlete-PSO/MSO communications. A documented paper trail from the athlete is required should the athlete’s residency exception be challenged in an appeal from another athlete.
