When an institution sends you an NLI, it will be during the signing period for your sport. You have a certain amount of days to sign it and return it to that school.
When you sign your NLI, you should make sure you sign it in duplicate.
Then you keep one copy and send the other back to the college. It‘s always a good idea to keep a duplicate copy for your records in case something happens to the copy you try to send back.
There are a few different ways to submit your NLI. Many coaches prefer to send their athletes the NLI by email. Then the athlete can print it out and sign it. To return the signed copy to the school, you can do one of three things:
1) Fold it up and mail it to the coach,
2) fax it to the coach, or
3) scan it back into the computer and email it to the coach.
It’s always a good idea to send the coach a hard copy though, in addition to a fax or an electronic submission.
