Academic Integrity

Academic Integrity refers to the integration between academics and athletics.  The five operating principles associated with Academic Integrity and a brief description of each are given below.  COL David Allbee chairs the Subcommittee on Academic Integrity.

• Student-Athletes Integrated in Student Body.  An intercollegiate athletics program shall be designed to be a vital part of the institution's education system, and student athletes shall be considered an integral part of the student body.
• Admissions and Graduation.  The institution shall admit only student-athletes who have reasonable expectations of obtaining academic degrees.  Similarly, graduation rates among student athletes should be similar to that of non-athletes.
• Academic Authority.  The same authority over academics should be the same for both student-athletes and non-athletes.
• Academic Support.  Adequate academic support should be available for student athletes.
• Scheduling.  The scheduling of athletics competition and practice shall minimize conflicts between athletics participation and academic schedules.
