College joins 6 other schools becoming full members for the 2026-27 academic year
The NCAA Division II Management Council Subcommittee has overturned the Division II Membership Committee’s decision to deny a waiver request from Menlo, advancing the college to active Division II membership status, effective Sept. 11.
Menlo originally had been approved by the Division II Membership Committee to advance to the third year of the membership process, rather than active membership. After an appeal by the college, the Management Council Subcommittee reviewed the waiver request and voted to reverse the committee’s decision, granting Menlo active Division II status.
The action adds Menlo to the list of schools set to become active Division II members, joining the University of Jamestown, Point Park, Roosevelt, Sul Ross State, UT Dallas and the University of California, Merced, which were approved by the Division II Membership Committee after successfully completing the provisional membership process.
With the decision, Menlo is a full Division II member and eligible for NCAA championships and governance opportunities available to active members beginning with the 2026-27 academic year.
