There are currently 305 American and Canadian colleges and universities classified as Division II for NCAA competition. During the 2017â€"18 academic year, 7 schools are in the process of reclassifying to Division II. Forty-four of the 50 U.S. states, plus the District of Columbia and the Canadian province of British Columbia are represented. Arizona, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, Rhode Island, and Wyoming do not currently have D-II institutions.

Sports not in D-II

The NCAA does not conduct separate Division II championships in the following sports:

  • Men: Gymnastics, ice hockey, volleyball, water polo (note, however, that no Division II member currently sponsors men's gymnastics)
  • Women: Beach volleyball, bowling, gymnastics, ice hockey, water polo
  • Coeducational: Fencing, rifle, skiing

Some schools have opted to compete in a sport at a higher level and are allowed to do so by the NCAA under certain circumstances. First, when the NCAA placed severe restrictions on the fielding of Division I teams by Division II institutions in 2011, it grandfathered in all then-current D-I teams at D-II schools. Apart from this, Division II members are allowed to compete for Division I championships in sports in which a Division II national championship is not contested.

In some sports, the NCAA only sponsors championships open to all member schools regardless of division, with examples including beach volleyball, fencing, rifle, and water polo. In men's and women's ice hockey and men's volleyball, the NCAA holds Division III championships, but does not hold a separate D-II championship. The NCAA officially classifies all championship events that are open to schools from more than one division as "National Collegiate", except in men's ice hockey, in which the top-level championship is styled as a Division I championship. Division II members are allowed to compete for National Collegiate championships as well as the Division I men's ice hockey championship; in all such sports, they are allowed to operate under the same rules and scholarship restrictions that apply to full Division I members in that sport.

The Northeast-10 sponsors Men's Ice Hockey for its members who choose to remain in D-II. The conference sponsors a Women's Ice Hockey postseason tournament for those teams remaining in D-II but compete as independents during the regular season. Because the NE-10 is the sole Division II hockey league, its postseason champion cannot compete for the NCAA national hockey championship. Post University Ice Hockey teams also compete as D-II and have scheduling alliances with the NE-10 schools.

  • Future conference affiliations indicated in this list will take effect on July 1 of the stated year. In the case of spring sports, the first year of competition will take place in the calendar year after the conference move becomes official.
