Sometimes it\u2019s about playing time- they want to be on the field more. Other times, coaching changes or shifts in team culture prompt athletes to look for a better fit. For some, academics or personal reasons play a big role, while others want to move to a different competitive level, such as transferring from a junior college to a university, or from Division II to Division I. Whatever your reason, transferring is a major decision that deserves careful thought.<\/p>\n<p>At KAA, we understand these challenges and are here to help you weigh your options.

Whether this is contacting coaches directly if you\u2019re transferring from a Junior College \/ NAIA university, or through using the transfer portal if you\u2019re at an NCAA DI or DII school.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.14.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<h2><strong>The Academic Side of Transferring<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Transferring isn\u2019t just about athletics.
