Map of NCAA Division II Institutions
There are currently 317 American and Canadian colleges and universities classified as Division II for NCAA competition including 13 schools that are reclassifying during the 2015-16 academic year. 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.
Division II institutions
- Brevard College — will transition to NCAA Division III in 2017.
- Brigham Young–Hawai'i — will discontinue athletics in 2017.
- Findlay, Hillsdale College, Lake Erie College, Ohio Dominican, Walsh — will join the Great Midwest Athletic Conference in 2017.
- Malone — will join the Great Midwest Athletic Conference in 2016.
- Salem International — will leave the Great Midwest Athletic Conference in 2016.
- Stillman College — will transition to National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics in 2016.
- Texas–Permian Basin, Western New Mexico — will join the Lone Star Conference in 2016.
Reclassifying institutions
Pending
These schools are actively pursuing Division II and have been accepted by a conference. Their application for NCAA D-II membership has yet to be accepted, which is determined in July each year.
Sports not in D-II
Men's and Women's Ice Hockey and Water Polo; Men's Volleyball; Women's Bowling and Gymnastics; and Co-ed Fencing, Rifle, and Skiing are not sponsored in Division II.
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.
The Northeast-10 Men's Ice Hockey teams compete as a D-II conference. The Northeast-10 Women's Ice Hockey teams are members of the D-III Women's New England Hockey Conference in the regular season only. Because the NE-10 is the sole Division II hockey league, its postseason champion cannot compete for the NCAA national hockey championship. Post Ice Hockey teams also compete as D-II.
- 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.
