The Fall of 2018 brought with it the newest Athletic Department initiative in support of the student-athlete experience as Vikings On-Track was launched. Vikings On-Track is a program to advise and support student-athletes who aspire to compete in a sport at a four-year school.
During the last five years, the NCAA has enacted legislation making the transfer process from NJCAA to NCAA programs more challenging. The Vikings On-Track program features group presentations and individual meetings designed to educate student-athletes regarding transfer rules to NCAA Division I, II, and III programs, as well as NAIA programs, and provide advisement regarding academic progress to achieve NCAA eligibility. This program is open to all Westchester Community College student-athletes.
Student-Athletes who enroll in Vikings On-Track will attend one presentation during the fall semester regarding transfer protocols to compete at NCAA or NAIA programs after eligibility at Westchester Community College is over. Additionally, Vikings On-Track student-athletes will attend 2-3 one-on-one counseling sessions during the academic year to discuss eventual transfer goals, review academic progress, and evaluate potential transfer opportunities.
Interested student-athletes should contact Assistant Director of Athletics Michael Spinner at
