Quinnipiac University’s Title IX Policy Against Gender-based Discrimination and Sexual Misconduct Quinnipiac University is committed to providing an environment free from gender-based discrimination and harassment. Consistent with its commitment to addressing gender-based misconduct, the University complies with Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in educational programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance. As such, Quinnipiac University is dedicated to fostering a healthy and safe environment in which every member of the community can realize his or her full potential in an educational, working and living environment free from all forms of gender or sex discrimination and sexual misconduct. Quinnipiac seeks to ensure that no student, faculty or staff member is excluded from participation in or denied the benefits of any University program or activity on the basis of sex. This includes all University activities, including, without limitation, academic, athletic, campus life, residential life programs and all aspects of employment. Students, faculty or staff who believe they have been subjected to or witnessed gender-based misconduct are encouraged to report these incidents. As discussed below, faculty, administration, athletic, human resources, public safety and student affairs staff are considered responsible employees under Title IX and are required to immediately report any incidents of sexual violence they observe. Upon receiving a report, the University will respond promptly, equitably and thoroughly. In addition, the University will take steps to prevent the recurrence of the misconduct and correct its effects, if appropriate. Specifically with respect to athletics, the University is committed to the equitable treatment of male and female student-athletes. This includes, but is not limited to, equitable allocation of athletic participation opportunities, scholarships and benefits. The contact person in Athletics for Title IX inquiries is Tami Reilly, associate athletic director for fitness and wellness. Prohibitions against discrimination and harassment do not extend to statements and written materials that are germane to the classroom or academic course of study. When a respondent is found to have violated this policy, serious sanctions will be used to reasonably ensure that such actions are never repeated and steps will be taken to correct any discriminatory effects to the extent possible. This policy has been developed to reaffirm these principles and to provide recourse for those individuals whose rights have been violated. This policy is intended to define community expectations and to establish a mechanism for determining when those expectations have been violated. This policy is lengthy and detailed because the University takes these issues and its legal obligations very seriously. Any Quinnipiac community member who has questions about the policy or the grievance procedures should seek clarification from the University’s Title IX coordinator.

The Title IX coordinator is the resource available to anyone seeking additional information or wishing to file a complaint. When a student, faculty or staff member, or other participant in the University’s programs and activities feels that she or he has been subjected to discrimination on the basis of sex in any University program or activity, including without limitation being subjected to sexual harassment and sexual assault, she or he may contact the Title IX coordinator or utilize the Title IX grievance procedures to bring concerns forward for the purpose of obtaining a prompt and equitable resolution. The Title IX Discrimination and Harassment Policy is intended to define University standards and to outline the investigation and grievance processes when those standards are violated.

Coaches – Roster Policies and Procedures The Athletic Department's Compliance Office is the sole keeper of official team rosters. Team rosters are managed on a daily basis by the Compliance Office based on information submitted from head coaches. Team rosters maintained by the Associate Athletics Director are the sole source for filing annual federal government and NCAA reports and surveys. A student is not a member of an athletic team until their name has been formally submitted (electronically) to the Assistant Athletics Director via the "Change In Status" form. Team rosters are maintained via the NCAA Compliance Assistant (CA) software. Head coaches have 24-hour access to this web-based software. One option to review a team's roster is to run a report via NCAA CA known as: COACHES: 2012-2013 Permission To Practice & Compete Authorization List For Team. Head coaches are expected to notify the Compliance Office if a student name is missing from their team's report or a student-athlete has left the team but whose name is still listed as an active team member. The assistant athletic director for compliance and the assistant athletics director for academic support do not have responsibility for maintaining team roster status. A request from any of the various offices within the Athletics Department (i.e. academic support, athletic training, equipment room, sports information, and strength and conditioning) for a team list run the risk of obtaining inaccurate information in the event that a coach has neglected to formally submit a request to Compliance Office to have a student added or deleted from the official team roster. Team roster reports listed on the website www.quinnipiacbobcats.com are compiled and maintained by the sports information staff in consultation with the Compliance Office. The sports information staff will not add a student's name or remove a student-athlete's name from the website's team roster unless informed in writing from the Compliance Office. The compliance staff electronically notifies university staff members when changes are made to a team's roster. No Rosters will be displayed on the Athletics web-site until the NCAA Eligibility and Squad List has been approved and signed by the compliance staff. This usually occurs prior to the first date of competition. Coaches – Roster Management – 2014-2015 The chart below contains the approved roster sizes for each of our varsity teams. Official rosters are certified as the first day of competition for each sport. Coaches may not change the roster size including adding or cutting without written approval of the Executive Vice President and Provost and the Director of Athletics. Coaches are encouraged to communicate their recommendations for appropriate roster sizes annually in writing to the Executive Vice President and Provost and and the Director of Athletics.

All requests for scholarship increases should be made in writing to the Director of Athletics and Executive Vice President/Provost by November 1st When the NCAA squad list is complete and all approved scholarships are not awarded, head coaches must report in writing as to why all the scholarship finds were not awarded All initial and continuing scholarship grants are issued by the Director of Financial Aid. The Director of Athletics and the Associate Athletic Director will send to the Financial Aid office the names of those that we wish to receive financial aid. Please note that NO student-athlete will receive any athletic aid unless they are in good academic standing with Quinnipiac University. All scholarship commitments are to be approved by the Director of Athletics (in writing) Coaches - Guidelines on Awarding of Athletic Aid/Scholarships Head coaches of the university’s NCAA-sponsored sports are required to provide aid recommendations to institutional designees to ensure their program’s athletic scholarship budget is fully awarded to student-athletes each academic year. These recommendations are to be made prior to the first day of classes or first day of preseason practice; whichever comes first. Athletic aid, which becomes available after the first day of classes of the academic year, is required to be distributed to other student-athletes on the team at the first available opportunity in accordance with NCAA financial aid rules. Head coaches are to communicate their athletic scholarship recommendations in writing to the Athletics Department’s liaison to the university’s financial aid office in accordance with the following deadlines. Award recommendations for incoming student-athletes can be made beginning November 1 and must be completed by the first day of classes of the next academic year. Page 24
Award recommendations for returning student-athletes can be made beginning May 1 and must be completed by the end of the first full week of August. Award recommendations resulting from funds reverted to the athletic scholarship budget due to student-athlete attrition should be made promptly upon notice of the available funds and no later than three business day prior to the next available semester. (i.e summer attrition, award by three business days prior to the first day of fall semester classes) (i.e. fall attrition, award by three business days prior to the first day of spring semester classes) Coaches - Guidelines on Awarding of Summer and Intercession Aid Currently All Tier 1 teams - Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey, Women’s Field Hockey, Women’s Soccer, Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse - have approved funds for summer session and January-term classes. Based on a demonstration of student academic need for the summer or January-term courses, Head Coaches are allowed to award Summer and JanuaryTerm Aid using their approved budget for Summer and January-Term Aid provided the Director of Athletics approves this award. Coaches - Guidelines on Fifth Year and Degree Completion Aid Currently all Tier 1 teams - Men’s and Women’s Basketball, Men’s and Women’s Ice Hockey, Women’s Field Hockey, Women’s Soccer, Men’s and Women’s Lacrosse - have approved funds for fifth year and degree completion aid. Based on a demonstration of student academic need for the additional semester or year of study, Head Coaches are allowed to award Fifth Year and Degree Completion Aid using their approved budget for Fifth Year and Degree Completion Aid provided the Director of Athletics approves this award Coaches - National Letter of Intent (NLI) Guidelines Any coach that plans to issue the National Letter of Intent (NLI), must be recommending an athletic grant-in-aid and the prospect must have an admission application on file. No NLI will be processed and signed until a complete admissions application is included with the request to process the NLI and scholarship award letter. Coaches are expected to meet with the Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance to assist with the preparation of the NLI package. Coaches - Guidelines for Non-Renewal of Athletic Aid Important to note that the NCAA has/will changed this policy and important that before any discussion of non-renewals begins, that the head coach discuss this with the Compliance Office. If a student-athlete leaves the team, a written correspondence from the student-athlete must be on file. If the non-renewal is due to a violation of team policies, the head coach must notify the studentathlete that he/she is on probation prior (months) to being told that his/her aid will not be renewed. If aid is not to be renewed, a letter must be sent from the Director of Financial Aid to the studentathlete by July 1. Any athlete whose aid is not renewed is allowed an appeal. This appeal is made to the Director of Financial Aid and a hearing must be held before this aid can be awarded to another student-athlete. All financial aid inquires should be processed through the Associate Director of Athletics. Please do not initiate any contact with any financial aid staff member in their office or at their home. Page 25
Coaches – Student-Athlete Participation Policy No student is required to participate in one sport in order to participate in a different sport. Coaches - NCAA Compliance The head coach is accountable for all areas of compliance as it relates to their sport. At the beginning of each year, a Compliance Policy and Procedures Manual will be issued to each Head Coach. Interpretations, rules citations and eligibility forms will be enclosed. All coaches (paid or not) are expected to take and pass the NCAA Recruiting Exam each academic year. All questions regarding the eligibility of our student-athletes should be forwarded to Tracey Flynn, Associate Athletic Director for Compliance and Student Services. This involves NCAA Squad Lists, Official and Unofficial Visits, Amateurism, NCAA Clearinghouse for freshmen, continuing eligibility for all returning student-athletes, transfer student-athletes, and all eligibility and compliance forms as it relates to Quinnipiac University policies. As well, head coaches are required to record and present to the compliance staff your recruiting schedule and your practice schedule before the start of the academic year.

Coaches - Game Conduct All staff are representatives of Quinnipiac University, the MAAC, ECAC Hockey, NCATA and NCWVRA and should conduct themselves in a professional and positive manner at all times. If a coach is ejected from any game that coach must be removed from “site and sound” for the remainder of the game. “Site and Sound” policy is also applicable in cases where additional game suspensions are required. There is an understanding that the on-site administrator should notify the conference office and the institution(s) involved. Coaches – MAAC Sportsmanship Statement The NCAA and Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference promote good sportsmanship by studentathletes, coaches and spectators. We request your cooperation by supporting the participants and officials in a positive manner. Profanity, racial, sexist or abusive comments or intimidating actions directed at officials, student-athletes, coaches or team representatives will not be tolerated and are grounds for removal from the venue. The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference thanks you for your cooperation and invite you to enjoy the game. All coaches are expected to sign the MAAC sportsmanship form on an annual basis. MAAC Sportsmanship form located at Link above and at the back of this handbook Coaches - Athletic/Peer Student-Athlete Fraternization Coaches and staff are expected to treat student-athletes with respect. Abusive conduct, whether physical or emotional, will not be tolerated. Coaches - Athletic/Peer Student-Athlete Fraternization At no time should coaches and staff (paid, GA, volunteer) behave inappropriately with studentathletes. This includes consumption of alcohol and use of drugs with student-athletes. This includes banquets and off-campus awards dinners, tailgates, and off-season gatherings. All staff and coaches are prohibited from engaging in a romantic relationship with student-athletes. It is the responsibility of the immediate supervisor of staff (Head Coaches) to inform their staff that this policy exists in and out of season. Any staff member violating this policy will be immediately terminated. It is very important supervisors (Head Coaches) inform all new, volunteer and graduate assistants of this policy.
Page 27
Coaches – Student-Athlete Discipline All head coaches are expected to follow and endorse the Quinnipiac-Conference-NCAA Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct. If a student-athlete violates any state, town, Quinnipiac, conference, or NCAA rules, they will be subject to game and/or practice suspension. Athletic Administrators attend every week meetings to review campus wide student activity that includes alcohol, drugs, assault, behavior and other actions by students. If any of our student-athletes are documented to have broken the law (underage drinking, drugs, assault etc.), they will be issued a game suspension letter by the Head Coach. 1 Offense – One Game Suspension 2 Offense – Two Game Suspension 3 Offense – Suspended for remainder of season and termination of scholarship st
nd rd
Head Coaches are free to add additional discipline to the department’s policy. Depending on the severity of the infraction, student-athletes could receive additional discipline by the university up to and including expulsion. Coaches – Drug Testing The NCAA will conduct random annual drug testing for all student-athletes. All coaches are expected to assist when notified by the compliance office and athletic training.

Coaches - Social Network and New Media Policy for Student-Athletes
New Media: Public media refers to technologies used to communicate messages and whose mission is
to serve or engage a public. Public media domains include print outlets, traditional broadcasts, and digital. When utilizing any public media outlets, student-athletes are expected to conduct themselves responsibly as members of their respective team, the Athletics Department, the University and the community. Social Networks: Social network sites such as Facebook, Myspace, Twitter, Blogs, and other new
digital platforms facilitate students communicating with other students. Participation in such networks has both positive appeals but potentially negative consequences. It is important that Quinnipiac student-athletes be aware of these consequences and exercise appropriate caution if they choose to participate. Student-athletes are not restricted from using on-line social network sites and digital platforms. However, users must understand that any content they make public via on-line social networks or digital platforms is expected to follow acceptable social behaviors and also to comply with federal government, state of Connecticut, Quinnipiac, MAAC/ECAC, and NCAA. Facebook and similar directories are hosted outside the Quinnipiac server. Violations of university policy (e.g., harassing language, university alcohol or drug policy violations, etc.) or evidence of such violations in the content of on-line social networks or digital platforms are subject to investigation and sanction under the University’s Student Code of Conduct, and other University and department policies. They are also subject to the authority of law enforcement agencies. It is the responsibility of the student athlete to be aware of university regulations. Ignorance of these regulations does not excuse student-athletes from compliance.
Page 29
Social Media/Technology Guidelines for Student-Athletes
The following guidelines are intended to provide the framework for student-athletes to conduct themselves safely and responsibly in an on-line environment. As a student-athlete at Quinnipiac University you should: 1. Be careful with how much and what kind of identifying information you post on on-line social network sites. Virtually anyone with an edu e-mail address can access your page. It is unwise to make available information such as full date of birth, social security number, address, residence hall room number, phone number, cell phone numbers, class schedules, bank account information, or details about your daily routine. All can facilitate identity theft or stalking. Facebook and other sites provide numerous privacy settings for information contained in its pages; use these settings to protect private information. However, once posted, the information becomes the property of the web site. 2. Your site is available to potential current and future employers. You should think about any information you post on Facebook, Twitter, and any other digital media, or similar directories potentially providing an image of you to a prospective employer. The information posted is considered public information. Protect yourself and your team by maintaining a self-image that you can be proud of in years to come. 3. Understand that freedom of speech is not unlimited. The on-line social network sites are NOT a place where you can say and do whatever you want without repercussions. Prohibited Conduct Student-athletes are highly visible representatives of the University and are
expected to uphold the values and responsibilities of the University while meeting all requirements set forth by the MAAC/ECAC, the NCAA, Quinnipiac University, and the Quinnipiac University intercollegiate athletics program. The Quinnipiac University Department of Athletics prohibits malicious and reckless behavior when utilizing public media outlets. It is important that studentathletes recognize the power of public media domains and the potentially negative image that they can portray about student-athletes, coaches, the athletics program, and the university. Sanctions Any inappropriate activity or language in violation of the above prohibitions, including civil authorities. Sanctions imposed by the Director of Athletics may include, but are not limited to, the following: -Written notification from the Director of Athletics or assignee to the student-athlete outlining the policy and requiring that the unacceptable content be removed or the social network account. -Suspension from all team activities (contests, practices, meetings) -Indefinite suspension from the team. -Dismissal from the team. -Non-renewal of athletic grant-in-aid. Student athletes receiving a computer through our loan program as part of their athletic scholarship should only use this computer resource for the purpose for which it was intended. Users must not intentionally damage the system that is checked out to them. Posting inappropriate content, emails, and images from laptops provided by the University is prohibited. Page 30
Appeals The appeal process for non-renewal of an athletic grant-in-aid is handled by the QU Office of Financial Assistance, in accordance with NCAA Bylaw 15.3.5.1. Please see appeals process below: Student athletes may appeal a non-renewal decision by requesting a hearing before the University’s Financial Aid Appeals Committee. In appealing a decision, student athletes are required to submit a written request within 15 days of the issuance of this letter. The written request must include the following: Name, student identification number, year in school, sport. List the amount of the athletic grant-in-aid during the academic year. Reason(s) student wishes to appeal the Department of Athletics and Recreation’s recommendation. Copies of any relevant documents to have the Financial Aid Appeal committee review. Once a written request has been received in the Financial Aid Office, a hearing will be scheduled on the behalf of the student athlete, who will be notified of the date and time. The Director of Athletics and/or coach will also be notified of the decision to appeal and will be offered the opportunity to appear before the committee. The appeals committee is comprised of members of the University community. Per NCAA rules, no committee member is employed in the Department of Athletics and Recreation. Both the student athlete and the Department of Athletics and Recreation will have a separate opportunity to present respective opinions regarding the cancellation of your award. Within 10 business days, the financial aid appeals committee will issue their decision in writing and inform you and the Department of Athletics and Recreation. The appeals committee’s decision is final. Agreement I understand and agree that I am required to know, understand and follow the standards contained in the Quinnipiac University Department of Athletics Public Media and Social Network Policy for Student-Athletes. In addition, I understand and agree that I am responsible for knowing, understanding, and following the rules, policies, and procedures contained in the complete Quinnipiac University Student Code of Conduct, which can be found at http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x2168.xml.

Positive Play Cup, a competitive game played by all varsity sport programs at Quinnipiac University, provides a means by which student-athletes can compete on behalf of their teams for points in different categories that encompass the mission of the NCAA SAAC Program. The point categories focus on developing the individual, being an active role model, acting as a team, supporting other athletes, and overall academic achievement. Participation in the competition will reinforce an appreciation of the values and lessons that athletics can provide.

A regionally based non-conference schedule is our goal. Criteria to be taken into consideration are as follows: Peer institutions Preferred conferences: (Ivy League, Patriot League, America East, Atlantic 10, Big East, American Athletic Conference) Due to missed class time and budgetary concerns we prefer to have contests within a 200 mile radius round trip. Exceptions to this rule must be pre-approved by Senior Associate Athletic Director prior to confirmation. There will be occasions when scheduling opportunities arise outside of the region. These opportunities must be pre-approved by the Senior Associate Athletic Director. The following will be taken into account: Team’s Tier Status Budget Implications Missed Class Time Recruiting Opportunities Educational and Student Athlete Enhancement Frequency of Request Quality of Opponent It is not our practice to offer guarantees to visiting teams.

Strength & Conditioning
Strength and Conditioning Mission Statement: The mission of the Quinnipiac Strength and Conditioning Department is to reduce the chance of injury, optimize each student-athlete’s physical potential, while fostering an educational atmosphere. Comprehensive strength and conditioning programs are designed and implemented by the Strength and Conditioning staff in a safe, driven, positive and disciplined environment. What is the Role of the Strength and Conditioning Staff? The Strength and Conditioning program is an integral part of a student-athlete’s collegiate experience. Not only is the staff responsible for physical training, but also to teach the student-athlete about developing a strong work ethic through physical and mental training. Training programs focus on the relevant parameters of performance for each sport. Most programs address flexibility, strength, movement skills, body composition and sport-specific conditioning. Regular individual and team performance assessments are conducted during the year to monitor progress. The Strength and Conditioning staff works closely with the Sports Medicine staff. When injuries occur, the two programs work closely to provide the best rehabilitation program possible. **The Director of Sports Medicine must clear all injured athletes before they are permitted to return to full participation. Strength and Conditioning Policies and Procedures **Sport coaches must demonstrate a commitment to the strength and conditioning programs policies. This will allow us to accommodate the needs of all committed teams more effectively Coaches must hold their student-athletes accountable for attendance. Absolutely no excuses (school work, friends in town, concert, etc.). Page 47
Workout attendance must be given the same priority as practice attendance. Student-athletes must work out on their assigned days at their assigned times (unless prior arrangements have been made with the Strength and Conditioning staff). The strength and conditioning staff will work in conjunction with the Head Coach to decide to upon the training plan that will be implemented. The strength and conditioning staff will work in conjunction with the Head Coach to determine the training schedule and to schedule training times for facilities. The Head Coach must communicate with the strength and conditioning staff of any changes to schedules. If a team is unable to keep its commitment, the team will lose its strength and conditioning privileges. Strength and Conditioning Team Rules Student-athletes must be on time for team workouts Student-athletes are required to fill out attendance book and workout sheets No non-prescribed workouts will be permitted unless decided upon by the strength and conditioning coach. You cannot do your own workout. Food and drink are not permitted; Except water in a plastic bottle No Gum allowed Quinnipiac issued athletic wear is required. Shorts, t-shirts (no cut-offs) and athletic shoes are mandatory. No Jewelry or headgear is permitted. Collars must be used when there is weight on the bar. Safety racks must be in place during squat movements. All weights must be racked after use; Equipment must be returned when finished. No dropping of weight plates or dumbbells. No sitting No horseplay A strength and conditioning coach must be present for any and all workouts in the strength and conditioning facility Respect the coach and facilities Work Hard! **In the event of a disciplinary problem, the Strength and Conditioning staff has the authority to eject an athlete from the facilities. Work Environment Student-athletes who use the varsity weight room must use their time productively. Workout sessions provide an opportunity to improve and should be taken seriously. It is important to arrive on time and train with a positive attitude. At the same time, it is hoped that all student-athletes will feel comfortable in the training environment provided and that workouts will be enjoyable. Safety Safety in the weight room requires that student-athletes follow the rules that have been established. Additionally, student-athletes must always be aware of people around them when performing any exercise. The weight room is a place where athletes have the opportunity to become stronger and more injury resistant. Injuries should not occur here! If an injury should occur during weight training, the Strength and Conditioning staff must be notified. An Athletic Trainer will then be called to evaluate the injury and provide the appropriate treatment.

Policy on Insurance Coverage for Student-Athletes •
INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR ALL FULL-TIME QUINNIPIAC UNIVERISTY STUDENTS Quinnipiac University REQUIRES all students to have a personal medical insurance policy. All students are required to go login to the website www.gallagherkoster.com/schools/quinnipiac/and complete all information.
•
If a student does not have a personal medical insurance policy, the student will have the opportunity to enroll in the United Health Care insurance program at www.gallagherkoster.com/schools/quinnipiac/. The cost of the policy, $1,350, will automatically be added to the student’s Quinnipiac school bill.
•
The United Health Care Group insurance program meets the requirement for student-athletes who must purchase their own personal medical insurance policy.
•
A student-athlete’s personal medical insurance policy must be valid prior to the day the student-athlete begins participating in any required athletically-related activities (e.g. practice, strength and conditioning activities, captains’ practices, etc.). The medical insurance policy must cover any claims made while attending school in Connecticut and practicing and competing as a student-athlete.
•
Student-athletes are required to maintain their personal medical insurance policy throughout the academic year as well as any time a team’s season extends beyond the academic year. A student-athlete is required to immediately inform the Sports Medicine staff of any change in their personal, medical insurance coverage. Failure to do so could result in the student-athlete being financially responsible for costs incurred as a result of an athletically related injury.
•
A student-athlete’s personal medical insurance policy is required to cover activities and injuries relating to intercollegiate athletics participation. If the personal medical insurance policy does not cover activities and injuries related to intercollegiate athletics participation, the student-athlete is required to obtain another policy that will cover such activities.
•
Any injury sustained while participating in intercollegiate athletics will first be the responsibility of the student-athlete’s personal medical insurance policy. The university will only cover actual expenses related to the claim and will not reimburse for initial individual plan deductibles.
•
Quinnipiac University has a medical insurance policy which serves as a secondary medical insurance policy for its’ student-athletes. This insurance policy will help with costs not covered by the studentathlete’s primary medical insurance policy. This secondary insurance is not a substitute for a student-athlete having coverage from primary, personal medical insurance coverage Quinnipiac University’s secondary insurance policy coverage will only be valid to help cover costs due to injuries directly caused by participation in intercollegiate athletics. Sickness and/or injury that occur in the dorm are examples of incidents that would not be covered by the University’s secondary policy.
•
NCAA rules prohibit colleges and universities from paying any medical costs for an injury or illness not directly caused by participation in intercollegiate athletics. It is for this reason student-athletes are required to have their own personal medical insurance coverage. Quinnipiac University strongly recommends student-athletes contact their current medical insurance carrier to verify that their policy will cover non-emergency athletic injuries and general illness while attending a college in the state of Connecticut.
•
A student-athlete who seeks consultations outside the Quinnipiac Department of Athletics team physician, without prior communication with the Quinnipiac Athletic Training Department, will do so at their own expense. Quinnipiac will not pay for any subsequent medical visits that are sought by the student-athlete.
Page 60
•
A few student-athletes who do not have primary medical insurance coverage may qualify to have the Department of Athletics purchase insurance on their behalf, in accordance with NCAA rules.

Student-Athlete - Academic Policies & Support (from Student-Athlete Handbook)
The primary goals of the Academic Support Office are to assist student-athletes in their efforts to complete their degree requirements and develop the skills necessary to be successful in their future endeavors. Programs and services include: Power Hours program: monitored study sessions The Higher Learning Program: one-on-one academic coaching sessions Positive Play course for freshmen Referrals to The Learning Center for tutorial services Academic Enhancement Room The Academic Equipment Loan Program Student-Athlete - Class Absence Policy Class attendance is a student-athlete’s first priority. Quinnipiac University adheres to the NCAA rules that prohibit student-athletes from missing class due to conflicts with a team’s practice. NCAA rules do permit student-athletes to miss class to participate in a home or away contest. During the season of competition, it is likely that class absences will occur. Every attempt is made to keep missed classes to a minimum. Nevertheless, it is Quinnipiac academic policy that should a class or test be missed for in-season athletic competition, the student be given the chance to make up the work provided he/she notifies the professor in advance and makes appropriate arrangements. It is the student-athlete’s responsibility to communicate with their professors PRIOR to a class being missed. Student-athletes are expected to personally deliver the missed class form letter signed by Associate Athletic Director for Academics and the Faculty Representative to each professor at the beginning of the semester. The student-athlete’s head coach will provide their team members with the letter detailing departure times of travel dates associated with away games and any home competition conflicts. Arrangements for make-up exams and quizzes MUST be handled before traveling to an athletic event, not after returning from the trip. In the event that an affiliated Conference or NCAA Championship occurs during final exam time, the student-athlete is required to contact the appropriate faculty member at least two weeks before the scheduled examination or when the conflict is recognized. The purpose of this meeting is to discuss rescheduling the exam. It is the student-athlete’s responsibility to ensure that he/she does not schedule a class that will regularly conflict with practice times or frequent travel days. It is important for each student-athlete to meet with his or her instructors as early in the semester as possible in order to assess whether your missed class time will be a problem. If a problem does arise with any of these situations, contact the NCAA Faculty Athletics Representative (FAR) at 203-582-8324. Student-athletes may jeopardize their participation in the Quinnipiac University athletic program by failing to comply with the above procedures.
Page 62
Student-Athlete - Book Scholarship Policy All student-athletes that are receiving book awards must first meet with The Associate Athletic Director for Academic Support, to receive a Permission for Book Purchase Form (this form will be available the first day of classes). 1. The form signed by the Associate Athletic Director, with current class schedule attached, will then go to the bookstore. Only required books may be purchased with this form. Purchase of optional study guides is the responsibility of the student-athlete. 2. Books may be purchased during the first two weeks of class. Books must be returned to the Associate Athletic Director for Academics by the last day of finals. Student-athletes that fail to return their textbooks at the end of each semester forfeit their opportunity to receive a book award for the following semester. Student-Athlete - Community Relations Quinnipiac’s "Positive Play" program includes an enthusiastic commitment to community relations. You and your team will be asked to be part of special community events including the Freshman Move-In Day, Reading to Children, as well as many team and individual programs for the youth, senior citizens, sick and others in our community. Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) During the 2014-2015 year, two representatives from each team will be nominated to be a part of SAAC which will meet with the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance & Student Services once a month to discuss important issues regarding your teams and programs. Student-Athlete – Counseling 1. Academic: The Academic Support Staff acts as unofficial academic advisors for all studentathletes. The academic staff within the program cannot sign course cards, drop/add slips, or section change slips. Those procedures must be administered by the various academic divisions through official academic advisors. The Academic Support Staff may assist students in the scheduling of courses and with their degree plans to ensure compliance with satisfactory progress rules, as well as advancement toward graduation. a. Class Withdrawal The NCAA requires that all student-athletes maintain fulltime enrollment of 12 credits per semester in order to practice and compete. All student-athletes must meet with the Director of Academic Support to complete an Athletic Class Withdrawal Form. At this time, the Director will discuss possible eligibility ramifications from dropping a course. This form must accompany the University’s required Course Withdrawal Form, which the student submits, to the Registrar’s office. Personal−Referral: The Academic Support Staff members are available to assist with a studentathlete's non-academic problems. Any student-athlete experiencing difficulties beyond the expertise of the department staff will be referred to more appropriate campus or outside resources.

MAAC Sportsmanship
ARTICLE VIII – SPORTSMANSHIP Section 8.1 – General . The Conference Code of the MAAC within its Mission Statement cites as a purpose of the Conference that its members shall participate in its athletics program on the basis of mutual trust and confidence and based upon high standards of scholarship and sportsmanship.Understanding that realization of those goals requires that opponents respect each other and admire earnest effort made fairly in pursuit of victory, the Conference shall require adherence to the standards it has adopted or which are set forth inthe respective playing rules. It will require ethical conduct worthy of the educational stature and the standards of its member institutions.While victory shall be the expected goal of every competitor, defeat is not a disgrace, and the prospect of defeat is never an excuse for unethical behavior or lack of sportsmanship.Adherence to these principles will maximize the benefits and enjoyment of intercollegiate competition for all participants, coaches and spectators. ARTICLE XIII – POLICIES AND ACTIONS IN SUPPORT OF THE SPORTSMANSHIP STATEMENT Section 13.1 – Sportsmanship Form . - All coaches are expected to sign the following sportsmanship form on an annual basis. A. Council of Presidents. The MAAC Council of Presidents have directed that all representativesof the Conference’s member institutions shall exhibit ethical behavior at each Conference competition and conduct themselves in accordance with the rules of the NCAA and the Conference and the playing rules of the respective sports. They have directed that each member shall create a healthy environment for competition, free of a hostile atmosphere for opponents. This responsibility is to be shared by administrators, coaches and student-athletes, plus others involved in intercollegiate athletics in the Conference. They have directed the Commissioner and supervisor of officiating and game officials to apply the playing rules tightly and assess appropriate penalties-not merely issue warnings-when violations occur. B. Athletics Administrators. Athletics administrators, led by the Director of Athletics, must communicate the expectation of good sportsmanship to all representatives of the institution active in intercollegiate athletics. It is particularly imperative that this message is impressed on each coach, along with the intention that the coach will require compliance with the Sportsmanship Statement by each member of the team. The director must ensure that opponents are treated with fairness and respect. All aspects of game management must be controlled to assuresuch treatment, including crowd behavior. C. Coaches. The coach’s behavior influences that of the players and frequently, the fans. The coach has a responsibility to educate the players concerning their obligations tothe coach, the institution, intercollegiate athletics and themselves. Respect for an opponent can most effectively be conveyed to the players by the manner in which the coach speaks of, and acts toward, the opponent. D. Student-Athletes. Student-athletes must honor the responsibilities, which accompany the privilege of representing a MAAC institution by adhering to Conference and playing rules, and the MAAC Sportsmanship Statement. MAAC student-athletes are expected to treat opponents with respect. They must be aware that significant penalties will be applied for fighting, taunting an opponent or other unethical conduct. E. Public Address Announcers. Page 77
Each public address announcer should provide an impartial and even-handed report of the event. Partisanship in this area inflames emotions and can promote poor sportsmanship by participants and spectators. F. Cheerleaders, Spirit Groups, Bands and Mascots.Like student-athletes, members of cheerleading squads, spirit groups, bands and mascots are highly visible representatives of MAAC institutions. They can influence the behavior of others. Each group should welcome its counterpart group and demonstrate respect for its members. Likewise, it should convey respect for each opponent player and team. G. Officials. Although the game official has a demanding and difficult job to officiate the contest, he/she also will be directed to apply without hesitation or reservation the rules governing conduct and sportsmanship during each MAAC competition. When doing so as directed, the official will have support of the Conference, each member institution, and its administrations and coaches. H. Coach. Signature:________________________________________ Title:____________________________________________ Institution:________________________________________ Date:____________________________________________ Section 13.2 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; MAAC P.A. Announcement for Sportsmanship . __________________________(name of school) welcomes you to tonightâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s college basketball game. The Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference thanks fans for their attendance tonight/today, and encourages you to strongly support your team. In the interest of good sportsmanship and so that every fan can thoroughly enjoy the game, the MAACasks you to refrain from profanity and other forms of derogatory behavior. Enjoy the game!
