UNOFFICIAL VISIT - An unofficial visit to a member institution by a prospective student-athlete is a visit made at the
prospect's own expense. The provision of any expenses or entertainment by the institution or representatives of its athletics
interests shall require the visit to become an official visit, except for the following: (a) The institution may provide
complimentary admissions to an on-campus athletics event in which the institution's intercollegiate athletics team competes, in
accordance with the provisions of Bylaw 13.8.2.1; and (b) The institution may provide transportation to the prospect, when
accompanied by an institutional staff member, to view practice and competition sites and other institutional facilities located
within a 30-mile radius of the institution's campus, but the institution may not provide transportation to attend one of the
institution's home athletics events (on or off campus) during the unofficial visit. Payment of any other transportation expenses,
including providing transportation to attend one of the institution's home athletics events (on or off campus), shall be an
institutional violation
OFFICIAL VISIT An official visit to a member institution by a prospective student-athlete is a visit financed in whole or in
part by the member institution. A prospect on an official visit shall be provided lodging and take meals as regular students
normally do. Local commercial facilities may be used but at a scale comparable to that of normal student life and only within a
30-mile radius of the institution's campus. Lodging may not include special accessories (e.g., jacuzzis, suites) that are not
available generally to all guests residing at the establishment. ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
