7.6.5 Travel Regulations
Missed Classes for Team Travel
It is the responsibility of each student-athlete to inform the student-athlete's
professors at the beginning of each semester of the class dates to be
missed due to team travel. These dates should be included only if they
affect class attendance. The student-athlete is responsible for completing
all known coursework and must regularly communicate with the student-athlete's
faculty regarding all phases of the class. It would be helpful for the
student-athlete to review their team schedule with their professor at
the beginning of the semester. Student-athletes are responsible for arranging
to complete coursework and/or examinations missed due to team travel.
Dress Code for Team Travel
As personal appearance is a direct reflection of oneself, please take
an interest in how you appear, especially when traveling with your team.
The exact dress code for travel will be set by each head coach and must
be followed at all times while on the trip. In general, use good judgment
concerning the appropriateness of your attire, taking into consideration
the location and function you are attending. Understand that you are a
highly visible representative of the College, and as such, you are responsible
for exercising good judgment in your overall appearance.
Conduct While on an Athletic Trip
Student-athletes must take care to conduct themselves as representatives
of the College at all times. Misconduct could lead to suspension from
competition or even removal from the team. Use of drugs (including alcohol)
while traveling with the team is strictly forbidden.
Transportation
- All student-athletes must travel with the team to and from the competition
site unless specifically released by the director of athletics. A letter
from a parent or guardian must be on file prior to leaving on the trip
in the office of the director of athletics and/or head coach. Student-athletes
may not travel to and from an athletic event in personal cars unless
a parent/guardian has given written consent to the director of athletics
prior to the departure date.
- Office of Intercollegiate Athletics vans are in constant use by the
teams throughout the year. It is mandatory that each individual remove
all litter from vans.
Team Hotel Regulations
Student-athletes shall not call for room service or make long distance
calls from their room unless a prearranged billing is made with the hotel.
These charges must be paid for by the student-athlete upon check-out.
NCAA regulations do not permit the College to pay for these charges. Missing
or damaged items from hotel rooms will be charged to the room occupants. |
