Policy No.: 4035 Board Approved: March 20, 2012 Reviewed: April 21, 2020
Intercollegiate Athletic Program The intercollegiate athletic program is maintained as a valuable part of the Hagerstown Community College (HCC) student experience, and student athletes shall be an integral part of the student body. Participation in the intercollegiate athletic programs of the College shall be an opportunity provided to all students to compete to earn a place on a team, as determined by the College’s coaching staff. All student athletes must honor the HCC Code of Student Conduct, without exception. In order to become and remain eligible for HCC athletics, the admission, academic standing and academic progress of student athletes shall be consistent with the standards adopted by the College for the student body in general, and with NJCAA (National Junior College Athletic Association) standards. Each student athlete shall be viewed first as a student, and each coach shall be viewed as an educator. All student athletes must be enrolled in a minimum of a 12-credit hour course load during a given athletic season, as determined by NJCAA rules and regulations. The college administration is to annually provide a report to the Board that summarizes student athlete academic performance and eligibility status for the prior academic year, as well as the ongoing work that is being done to review and enforce eligibility rules and enhance the success of student athletes.
This policy was also revised on September 20, 2016.
