NCAA Legislative Services Database Internet (LSDBI)
The Legislative Services Database (LSDBi) is a useful tool for looking up bylaws and bylaw interpretations, which are published responses to specific questions about NCAA guidelines. The LSDBi has the advantage of being updated continuously throughout the year (versus once a year for the NCAA printed manual). To log on to the LSDBi, use the username of "member" and password of "lsdbi". [Link]

NCAA Division III Manual

However, many legislative changes take place during the school year rendering the printed Manual obselete. Any changes to the Manual are approved by the Division III Presidents and Management Councils. The on-line version of the Manual is the most up to date version of Division III bylaws. [Link-PDF]
