The primary difference to FED is the NCAA rules allow the runner to overslide the bag.
In NCAA, the slide toward the fielder must alter the play, with or without contact.

In FED, the slide toward the fielder is automatically illegal (at least by rule; how it's called might be different in some areas), whether it alters the play of the fielder or not, and with or without contact.

In my play, at least one of the options of it, there was no contact and no altering the play.
