In fact, there is no "giving" about it. All players have 5 years to play 4. Meaning, once you have played 4 seasons - your eligibility is out and you have 5 years from 1st enrollment to do so.
In the recent past - one play in any game meant "you played in that year". Longer ago, there was a few games at the BEGINNING of the year that one could play without being deemed to have used that year's eligibility.
They have now said - a player can play for 4 or fewer games (any number of plays and any game s of the season) and not have burned that year's eligibility.
So, it needn't be some "declaration". It is a simple matter of 5 years to play 4 and it takes more than 4 games in that "one year" to count.

Great response thank you. Yes declaration would have been a better word as well to better explain my question.

Solid. To expound just a little:
The NCAA says you have 10 semesters to be eligible over the course of 8 semesters worth of 4 playing seasons of your sport.
Meaning, when you attend class Day 1 of Fall semester (call it Fall 2018), your clock starts & you have until Spring 2023 to play 4 seasons of the sport.
You cannot start Fall 2018, attend classes for 4 semesters then take a 3 semester break to then come back to complete 4 more semesters & play. Your clock keeps running to Spring 2023 then runs out.
There are major exceptions by way of injuries & special circumstances. But that comes with the area of Gray shirting.
