Student-Athlete Responsibility

Student participants in intercollegiate athletics carry a special responsibility as representatives of the University. For the privilege of participating in intercollegiate athletics and, in many cases, receiving an athletic grant‐in‐aid, the University expects its student‐athletes to adhere to team, departmental, campus and University rules, and to reflect exemplary standards of academic and personal behavior, including the principles of sportsmanship and conduct.

The goal of the University is for every student‐athlete to graduate in four‐years with a baccalaureate degree. As a student‐ athlete, you are responsible to meet the academic requirements of the institution listed in the CU catalog, the Mid‐South Athletic Conference (MSC) and those of the NAIA. Below are the most critical requirements.
