ALL CREWS submitting entries must complete an Institutional Registration Card (IRC) prior to receiving a Crew Entry Application Form.

Online IRC Available Now

Institutions representing college and university teams comprised of undergraduate students eligible to compete in intercollegiate athletics in accordance with NCAA rules must require members to compete as part of their college or university institution through the use of one recognized Institutional Registration Card.

Only one Institutional Registration Card will be accepted from each college or university with the following exception: two Institutional Registration Cards, one for men and one for women, will be accepted from a single institution (school, college, or university) in cases where men's and women's rowing programs have been historically separate, or where men's and women's rowing programs are administered separately.

Alumni and graduate rowing programs will be considered as separate institutions from their affiliated school, college, or university and will not be permitted to share entries with their affiliated academic institution.
