1. What constitutes an "OFFICIAL" visit?
2. Is it five official visits just to D1 or does a visit to a D2 or JUCO count as an official visit?
Thanks alot for any info.

From the D1 Manual--
13.02.15.1 Official Visit. An official visit to a member institution by a prospective student-athlete is a visit financed in whole or in part by the member institution.
13.02.15.2 Unofficial Visit. An unofficial visit to a member institution by a prospective student-athlete is a visit made at the prospective student-athlete’s own expense. The provision of any expenses or entertainment valued at more than $100 by the institution or representatives of its athletics interests shall require the visit to become an official visit, except as permitted in Bylaws 13.5 and 13.7.
The limit of five visits is for the combined total of official visits to D1 and D2 schools. D3, Juco, and NAIA schools don't count in the five visit limitation.
During the process of setting up an official visit, each school will send the so-called "five visit letter", which reminds the player of the rule.
