14.1.11 Recognized Foreign Exchange/Study Abroad Program. A student-athlete who participates in a formal and established educational foreign exchange or study abroad program recognized by the certifying institution’s academic authorities shall not be considered a transfer student-athlete upon return to the certifying institution. A student-athlete who also participates (practices or competes) in athletics while participating in the recognized study abroad program does not use a season of participation nor is considered to have engaged in impermissible outside competition. All amateurism regulations still apply. (Adopted: 1/19/13)
