Procedures Throughout the Academic Year
At the start of each semester, student-athletes are responsible for notifying their
instructors of official games and/or competitions that conflict with the class times
via the Athletic Release Form. Student-athletes are responsible for making up missed
work in an agreed upon timeframe with the instructor.
Instructors must be notified of all post-season play and/or tournaments that conflict
with class assignments, tests or exams, as soon as these dates are available via an
additional Athletic Release Form.
Should a disagreement arise between the student-athlete and their instructor concerning
class assignments, tests or exams, the student should contact the Athletic Director
to assist in resolving the conflict.
If the conflict cannot be resolved with the assistance of the Athletic Director, the
student athlete and the Athletic Director should contact the Department Chair or Academic
Dean for that discipline.
If the student-athlete has a reason to question equitable implementation of a timely
request to reschedule class assignment, tests or exams, the student-athlete should
contact the Department Chair or Academic Dean for that discipline.
If the scheduling conflict cannot be resolved by either the Department Chair or Academic
Dean, the scheduling conflict may be appealed to the Provost, who shall determine
the final resolution.
