LIU MISSION STATEMENT
Long Island University’s mission is to provide excellence and access in private higher education to those who seek to expand their knowledge and prepare themselves for meaningful, educated lives and for service to their communities and the world.
LIU ETHOS STATEMENT
LIU is committed to the advancement of learning and service to society. Its educational mission reflects a commitment to intellectual rigor, social justice, and an active engagement of contemporary issues.
These principles challenge students to strive for excellence, to become men and women in service to others, to integrate curricular and co-curricular learning, to develop talents through discovery and reflection, and to be concerned for the welfare of each person. To achieve these ideals, all students are expected to contribute, through their words, actions, and commitments, to the development and sustenance of a community characterized by respect, caring, responsibility, and honesty. These characteristics are essential to ensure the rights and privileges of all students and to preserve the integrity of our educational community.
Working together as a community, students, faculty, and administrators help foster an atmosphere that furthers the mission of the campus. Students are expected to adhere to the campus ethos. This expectation calls for behavior which demonstrates the five principles of the LIU Student Code of Conduct: respect for oneself, respect for others, respect for property, respect for authority, and honesty.
FERPA NOTICE TO STUDENTS
Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
Every year, Long Island University informs students of their rights under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended. Long Island University complies with this federal statute which affords students over 18 years of age, or attending a post-secondary institution (“eligible students”) certain rights with respect to their educational records.
These rights include:
1. The right to inspect and review the student’s education records within 45 days of the day the University receives a request for access. Students should submit to the Office of the Registrar written requests that identify the record(s) they wish to inspect. The Office of the Registrar will make arrangements for access and notify the student of the time and place where the records may be inspected. If the records requested are not maintained by the University, the Registrar shall advise the student of that fact. If the records are maintained by another University Official; the Office of the Registrar will advise the student of the correct official to whom the request should be addressed.
2. The right to request the amendment of the student’s education records that the student believes are inaccurate or misleading. Students may ask the Registrar to amend a record that they believe is inaccurate or misleading. They should write the Registrar, clearly identifying the part of the record they want changed, and specify why it is inaccurate or misleading. If the University decides not to amend the record as requested by the student, the University will notify the student of the decision and advise the student of his or her right to a hearing regarding the request for amendment. Additional information regarding the hearing procedures will be provided to the student when notified of the right to a hearing.
3. The right to consent to disclosures of personally identifiable information contained in the student’s education records, except to the extent that FERPA authorizes disclosure without consent. An exception which permits disclosure without consent is disclosure to school officials with legitimate educational interests. A school official is a person employed by the University in an administrative, supervisory, academic or research, or support staff position (including law enforcement unit personnel and health staff); a person or company with whom the University has contracted (such as an attorney, auditor, or collection agent); a person serving on the Long Island University Board of Trustees; or a student serving on an official committee, such as a disciplinary

PREPARING FOR YOUR CAREER
Fewer than 2% of college student-athletes ever play professional sports, according to a 2020 NCAA report, meaning most will go pro in something other than sports. For that vast majority, there is good news! According to Gallup’s 2020 study on behalf of the NCAA, studentathletes are faster to graduate and more likely to hold leadership positions than their peers. Former studentathletes are also more likely to thrive in many career paths. Further, in the most recent NCAA GOALS Study, most
junior and senior student-athletes reported they have already participated, or are planning to participate, in an internship opportunity.
NCAA Leadership Development offers several programs for student-athletes to prepare them for the next step in their careers, including the Student-Athlete Leadership Forum, the Career in Sports Forum and the NCAA’s Postgraduate Internship Program
No matter your path, remember to keep an eye on the future while you are enjoying the present!

ACADEMIC INTEGRITY
As a Division I student-athlete, you are responsible for representing yourself, your team, this university and the conference in the best possible manner. Your academic conduct is monitored by a variety of individuals, including university faculty and staff. It is critical to complete coursework following the athletic department, university, and NCAA guidelines to ensure your eligibility is never at risk.
Under current NCAA legislation, institutions are responsible for the conduct of its employees, and any academic misconduct by those individuals is subject to NCAA investigation if they are associated with providing impermissible assistance to student-athletes. It should be understood by these employees, and student-athletes alike, that the NCAA constitutes unethical conduct and academic misconduct as very serious matters. Individuals are expected to act with honesty and integrity in all academic matters. To ensure understanding of the policies, please review the NCAA’s Academic Misconduct Rules
EXTRA BENEFITS
An extra benefit is any special arrangement by an institutional employee or a representative of the institution’s athletics interests to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s family member or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation. Receipt of a benefit by student-athletes or their family members
or friends is not a violation of NCAA legislation if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to the institution’s students or their family members or friends or to a particular segment of the student body (e.g., international students, minority students) determined on a basis unrelated to athletics ability. Some examples of permissible and impermissible extra benefits include:
Reasonable Food and Drinks
An institution may provide the family members of a student-athlete with reasonable food and drinks in conjunction with educational meetings or celebratory events (e.g., senior night) and on an occasional basis for other reasons.
Permissible Travel Expenses Not Related to Practice or Competition
An institution, conference or the NCAA may provide actual and necessary expenses to a student-athlete to represent the institution in noncompetitive events [e.g., goodwill tours, media appearances (see Bylaw 12.5.3), student-athlete advisory committee meetings]. Further, an institution may provide reasonable local transportation to student-athletes on an occasional basis.
Occasional Meals
A student-athlete or the entire team in a sport may receive an occasional family home meal in the locale of the institution on infrequent and special occasions from an institutional staff member. An institutional staff member
Long Island University | Student-Athlete Handbook 10 STUDENT-ATHLETE HANDBOOK
may provide reasonable local transportation to studentathletes to attend such meals. A student-athlete or the entire team in a sport may receive an occasional meal from a representative of athletics interests on infrequent and special occasions under the following conditions:
(a) The meal may only be provided in an individual’s home, on campus or at a facility that is regularly used for home competition and may be catered; and
(b) A representative of the institution’s athletics interests may provide reasonable local transportation to studentathletes to attend the meal function only if the meal function is at the home of that representative.
Other Prohibited Benefits.
An institutional employee or representative of the institution’s athletics interests may not provide a studentathlete with extra benefits or services, including but not limited to:
a) A loan of money;
b) A guarantee of bond;
c) The use of an automobile;
d) Transportation (e.g., a ride home with a coach), except as permitted in Bylaw 16.9.1, even if the student-athlete reimburses the institution or the staff member for the appropriate amount of the gas or expense; or
e) Signing or cosigning a note with an outside agency to arrange a loan.
TRANSFERRING & OTHER
NCAA ELIGIBILITY
INFORMATION
SEASONS OF COMPETITION
Division I five-year clock: Division I student-athletes have five-calendar years in which to play four seasons of competition. Your five-year clock starts from the beginning of the semester in which you first register for a minimum full-time program of studies at any college. Thereafter, your clock continues even if you spend an academic year in residence as a result of transferring, decide to redshirt, do not attend school for a term or terms after initial enrollment or if you enroll part-time during your college career.
Season of competition: Division I student-athletes are allowed to compete for four seasons in one sport. Any competition, regardless of time, during a season in an intercollegiate sport shall be counted as a season of competition in that sport.
Athletic Redshirt: In Division I, redshirting refers to someone who is enrolled full-time at a school but does not compete for an entire academic year for the purpose of saving a season of competition. Even though the student is otherwise eligible, a redshirt does not compete in any contests or scrimmages in a given sport for an entire academic year. If you do not compete in a sport the entire academic year, you have not used a season of competition. However, if you compete in any amount of intercollegiate competition in an academic year, you are not considered a redshirt.
INITIAL ELIGIBILITY
Financial aid: Any money you receive from a college or another source, such as outside loans or grants. Financial aid may be based on athletics, financial need or academic achievement.
National Letter of Intent: NCAA schools that are part of the program may send a National Letter of Intent to a prospective student-athlete they have recruited. The letter is a legally binding contract. It explains what athletics financial aid the school agrees to provide the studentathlete for one full academic year, only if the student is admitted to the school and is eligible for financial aid under NCAA rules. If you sign a National Letter of Intent, you agree to attend that school for one academic year and other schools that are part of the National Letter of Intent program can no longer recruit you.
Recruited Student-Athlete: A recruited student-athlete is a student-athlete who , as a prospective student-athlete was provided an official visit to the institution’s campus, had an arranged, in-person, off-campus encounter with a member of the institution’s coaching staff (including a coach’s arranged, in-person, off-campus encounter with the prospective student-athlete or the prospective studentathlete’s family members) or was issued a National Letter of Intent or a written offer of athletically related financial aid by the institution for a regular academic term.
Long Island University | Student-Athlete Handbook 11
STUDENT-ATHLETE HANDBOOK
SCHOOLS
Certifying school: The new school that you want to attend determines whether you are eligible to play.
Membership: The colleges, universities and athletics conferences that make up the NCAA. The members introduce and vote on rules. They establish programs to govern, promote and further the purposes and goals of intercollegiate athletics. The membership is divided into three main divisions — Divisions I, II and III — each with its own governing structure.
Two-year college: A school where students can earn an Associate of Arts (AA) degree, an Associate of Science (AS) degree or an Associate of Applied Science degree within two years (also referred to as community colleges or junior colleges).
Full-time: For NCAA purposes, you are considered a fulltime student if you are enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per term, even though some schools may define a fulltime student as someone who takes fewer than 12 credit
hours per term. Generally, in order to be eligible for NCAA competition and athletically related financial aid, you must be enrolled in at least 12 credit hours per term.
International student: An international student is any student who is enrolled in a two-year or four-year school outside the United States.
Nonqualifier: A student-athlete planning to attend a Division I school who has not met academic requirements to be a Division I qualifier or academic redshirt. If you are a nonqualifier, you may not practice, compete or receive an athletics scholarship from a Division I school during your first year of full-time enrollment. You will only have three seasons of competition in Division I, although you may earn a fourth season by completing 80 percent of your undergraduate degree before the start of your fifth year of collegiate enrollment.
• Academic Redshirt: A student-athlete who is a high school graduate and who presented the same academic qualifications applicable to qualifiers except for the following: The required minimum core-curriculum grade-point average and minimum combined score on the SAT critical reading and math sections or a minimum sum score on the ACT as specified in Bylaw 14.3.1.2.1; and
• Bylaw 14.3.1.1-(c) shall not apply.
Qualifier: A student-athlete who, for purposes of determining eligibility for financial aid, practice and competition, has:
• Graduated from high school;
• Successfully completed the required core curriculum consisting of a minimum number of courses in specified subjects within prescribed time frame;
• Obtained a specified minimum GPA in the core curriculum; and
• Obtained a specified minimum SAT or ACT score.
Walk-on: Someone who is not typically recruited by a school to participate in sports and does not receive a scholarship from the school, but who becomes a member of one of the school’s athletics teams.
TRANSFER PROCESS
Academic year in residence: Under the basic transfer regulations, you must spend an academic year in residence at the school to which you are transferring. If you transfer from a four-year college to an NCAA school, you must complete one academic year in residence at the new school before you can play for or receive travel expenses from the new school, unless you qualify for a transfer exception or waiver. To satisfy an academic year in residence, you must be enrolled in and successfully complete a full-time program of studies for two-full semesters or three-full
Long Island University | Student-Athlete Handbook 12
STUDENT-ATHLETE HANDBOOK
quarters. Summer school terms and part-time enrollment do not count toward fulfilling an academic year in residence.
One-time transfer exception: If you transfer from a fouryear school, you may be immediately eligible to compete at your new school if you meet ALL the following conditions:
• You have not transferred previously from one four-year institution unless, in the previous transfer, you received an exception per Bylaw 14.5.5.2.6 (discontinued/ nonsponsored sport exception);
• At the time of transfer to the certifying institution (see Bylaw 14.5.2), you would have been academically eligible had you remained at the institution from which you transferred, except that you are not required to have fulfilled the necessary percentage-of-degree requirements at the previous institution; and
• The head coach at the certifying school and you shall certify that no athletics staff member or other representative of the institution’s athletics interest communicated or made contact with you, or any individual associated with you (e.g., family member, scholastic or nonscholastic coach, advisor), directly or indirectly, without first obtaining authorization through the notification of transfer process (see Bylaw 13.1.1.3).
• You must provide written notification of transfer to the institution by the following dates:
• Fall and winter sports: May 1.
• Spring sports: July 1.
Transferable credit hours: Credit hours earned at your previous school that your new school will accept as degree credit. Each school determines how many, and which, credit hours are acceptable for transferring.
Conditions Affecting Transfer Status: A transfer student is a student who transfers from a collegiate institution after having triggered any of the conditions:
• Attended a class or classes in any quarter or semester in which you were enrolled in a minimum full-time program of studies, even if the enrollment was on a provisional basis and you were later determined by the institution not to be admissible;
• You are or were enrolled in an institution in a minimum full-time program of studies in a night school that is considered to have regular terms (semesters or quarters) the same as the institution’s day school, and you are or were considered by the institution to be a regularly matriculated student;
• You attended a branch school that does not conduct an intercollegiate athletics program, but you had been enrolled in another collegiate institution prior to attendance at the branch school;
• You attended a branch school that conducted an intercollegiate athletics program and transfer to an institution other than the parent institution;
• Reported for a regular squad practice;
• Practiced or competed while enrolled less than full time; or
• Received institutional financial aid while attending summer school or a summer orientation program.
Transfer Portal
Student-athletes interested in having their name placed on the Transfer Portal must comply with applicable Portal Windows as established the NCAA. Information pertaining to the Portal Windows can be found at the following link: http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/eligibility_center/Transfer/DIUG_ Windows.pdf. There are limited exceptions to the Portal Windows, but the general rule is that student-athletes must wait until the applicable time periods to have their name placed on the Portal as well as utilize the one-time transfer exception. Student-athletes interested in transferring should consult with LIU’s Athletic Compliance Office to discuss NCAA academic and athletic eligibility rules. In the event a student-athlete places his or her name on the NCAA Transfer Portal, LIU reserves the right to cancel or reduce an athletic scholarship where permissible, and also reserves the right to restrict the student-athlete’s use of athletic department facilities such as the team locker room and the weight room.
