It participates in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)'s Division II level, and is the only NCAA conference in any division with a Canadian university as a member. The conference was formed in 2001 when its original ten members split from the Pacific West Conference. {{clear}}Member schoolsCurrent membersInstitution | Location | Founded | Enrollment | Nickname | Colors | Joined |

Therefore, Central Washington and Western Washington competed in the North Central Conference (NCC); while Dixie State, Humboldt State and Western Oregon were Independents.
