Student Athlete Code of Conduct

The University seeks to establish a positive balance between academics and athletics; emphasizing the importance of the successful completion of a degree program. The Student Athlete Code of Conduct is a document for student athletes outlining the expected behaviors for all sports team participants. Adherence to the Code of Conduct is mandatory for all student athletes.

Areas addressed in the Code of Conduct include, but are not limited to, expected academic performance, personal appearance, professionalism, respect, and drug/alcoholic consumption. Student athletes sign the Student Athlete Code of Conduct and the Athletic Department retains the signature page.

Stratford University Athletics does not provide primary or supplemental Student-Athlete Insurance policies for injuries sustained while participating in intercollegiate athletics. In order to ensure student-athletes have health care, it is recommended by Stratford University and Athletics that all student-athletes obtain primary health coverage. Every student athlete should be covered under a personal or family health insurance policy. All student-athletes are required to provide an active, unexpired copy of primary health insurance coverage to Athletics each academic year prior to the athletic team season in order to be eligible for participation.
