Women's

No women's ice hockey programs currently play under Division II regulations. The NCAA allows D-II members to play under Division I regulations in any sport that does not have a D-II national championship, and all D-II members that sponsor varsity women's hockey choose to play as D-I.

Of the six schools that play under D-II regulations in men's ice hockey, four currently have women's varsity teams, all of which play in the NEWHA. Assumption started women's varsity play in 2023–24 as a NEWHA member.

            College Hockey America (CHA) was a college ice hockey conference in the United States. It participated in the NCAA's Division I as a hockey-only conference. The conference's final membership featured six women's teams, with three in Pennsylvania; two in New York, and one in Missouri.

            NCAA Division I independent schools are four-year institutions that compete in college athletics at the NCAA Division I level, but do not belong to an established athletic conference for a particular sport. These schools may however still compete as members of an athletic conference in other sports. A school may also be fully independent, and not belong to any athletic conference for any sport at all. The reason for independent status varies among institutions, but it is frequently because the school's primary athletic conference does not sponsor a particular sport.
