Four schools — Allen University, Edward Waters University, Emory & Henry University and Westmont College —will become NCAA Division II members after successfully completing the provisional membership process.
The Division II Membership Committee approved the division’s newest members this week during its meeting in Indianapolis. The Division II membership will total 293 schools in 2024-25.
Additionally, the University of South Carolina Beaufort and Thomas More University, both transitioning from the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, advanced to year three of the provisional membership process.
Five schools advanced to year two of the provisional membership process: Jessup University (NAIA), Menlo College (NAIA), Roosevelt University (NAIA), Sul Ross State University (Division III) and Vanguard University (NAIA).
The committee also accepted four schools into the provisional membership process. Three schools — Point Park University, the University of California, Merced, and the University of Jamestown — will transition from the NAIA, while the University of Texas at Dallas will transition from Division III. UC Merced, Jamestown and Texas-Dallas were accepted into the two-year expedited provisional membership process. Point Park will enter year one of the three-year provisional membership process.
The Division II Management Council will review all membership decisions during its meeting on July 22-23. The changes will take effect Sept. 1.
