In April 2017, the NCAA approved an exemption for the NIC meet and practices leading up to it. Institutions may extend their season beyond the primary playing and practice season. The NIC provides a post season championship event for Division I swimmers and divers that have achieved B/Zone standards, but are not selected for the NCAA Division I Championships.
Individuals and relays may qualify for the CSCAA National Invitational Championship by winning their respective event(s) at a bona-fide collegiate conference championship. In addition, any individual or relay team who equals or surpasses the CSCAA 'A' standard during the qualifying period shall be eligible to compete at the Championship.
