Athletics, Co-Curricular and Extra-Curricular Activities

Athletics, extra-curricular and co-curricular activities exist as an outlet in which students can develop leadership skills, human relationship skills, time management, team work, and provide service to others and to the College. Students who participate in College clubs, organizations, athletics, plays and concerts, the student newspaper, and organized academic competitions represent the College. As representatives of the College, those participating in College activities must recognize and accept the responsibility to uphold the very highest standards of behavior.

  1. If a student involved in College activities as specified engages inactivity on campus or off which violates campus rules and regulations, state or federal laws, the student will be disciplined in an appropriate manner. In a case where the student is arrested for any offense specified in the Code of Conduct or an equally serious offense, the student may be suspended from participation in the activity until such time as the matter is adjudicated by the courts. If the student is found guilty, she/he may be suspended from participation in the activity for a number of events or for the balance of the year or season.
  2. The coach, faculty sponsor or director will discuss the circumstances surrounding the misconduct with the Vice President for Student Services and the Vice President for Academic Affairs. They will consider factors which might increase or decrease the severity of the actions in which the student was involved. The decision of the Vice President for Student Services and the Vice President for Academic Affairs shall be considered final, unless College Suspension or Dismissal is recommended.
  3. Nothing herein is designed or intended to limit any other reasonable rules or restrictions placed in force by a coach, director or sponsor. In addition, the coach, director or sponsor may take disciplinary action immediately, such as expulsion from a practice or performance, where it is necessary and appropriate.
