My son is looking at a school that is currently a NAIA school. In the year 2017, the school will become a D2 school. When does the D2 recruiting guidelines take effect. My son is a senior this year and we are wondering if this school will follow NAIA or D2 guidelines?

Ask the AD.

Be aware that there is a transition phase which usually results in the school being ineligible for post-season play for a couple years.
I had similar questions, here is the thread:

Son is a 2017 as well and the school just reclassified last month. There is a two year waiting period for post-season play, so this year (our kids' high school senior year) and next year (their college freshman year) they will not be eligible for post season. This may be different for different schools and/or conferences.
Thanks for you replies - that's helpful. Just wondering about NLI signing, my guess that would not be one to sign since they won't be a D2 until next year and the NLI signing would be this school year.
This may help. He will probably not sign an NCAA letter of intent, but the school may have something.
The school might provide an institutional "letter of intent" to prospects during their transition period, but they won't be able to offer an NCAA Letter of Intent to prospects until they officially become an NCAA Division II school.
