NCAA Board of Governors Policy on Campus Sexual Violence

Adopted Aug. 8, 2017, Updated Aug. 7, 2018, Revised April 30, 2020, Revised April 27, 2021

The NCAA is a voluntary membership organization dedicated to promoting and developing its core values of academics, well-being and fairness among the 1,100 member schools and more than 500,000 student-athletes who participate in college sports. Sexual discrimination, sexual harassment and sexual and interpersonal violence violate human decency and the Association's core values.

The NCAA Board of Governors adopted the Policy on Campus Sexual Violence (NCAA policy) in August 2017. Beginning in the 2017-18 academic year, NCAA schools have attested their compliance with the NCAA policy.

The annual attestation period runs from July 15 to the first Friday in November. For 2023, the attestation is due November 3. If a school is not able to attest its compliance with the NCAA policy, it will be prohibited from hosting any NCAA championship competitions for the next applicable academic year.
