CSM Student Athlete Success

Overview

Since 1922, CSM has provided education for student athletes both in the classroom and on the playing field. We are committed to cultivat-ing learning environments that prepare our students for the future. Most of our students complete their academic requirements and continue their athletic and academic endeavors at four-year colleges and universities or complete a SMCCCD degree. Intercollegiate athletic teams are, in essence, active student learning communities.

CSM intercollegiate athletics faculty and staff are genuinely commit-ted to the personal development and academic progress of its student athletes through participation in the varsity athletics program. Inter-collegiate athletics at CSM places supreme value on providing a com-prehensive education, in conjunction with the long-standing principles of good sportsmanship. These values include respect towards opponents, officials and the community-at-large, equal opportunity to both genders in the spirit of Title IX, and other fundamental principles such as civility, honesty, a strong work ethic, moral character, integrity, and social and personal responsibility.

Student Athlete Demographics

Intercollegiate athletics provides an additional point of access for students who are traditionally under-represented in higher education. As can be seen in Table 2, African American and Pacific Islander students make up a significantly larger proportion of student athletes, compared to the overall CSM student pop-ulation. These demographics dramatically highlight the extent to which intercollegiate athletics is an im-portant vehicle to help address persistent equity gaps in access and success for the communities served by the College.

Student Athlete Success

There are several key metrics used to evaluate the success of student athletes at CSM. Although many are the same metrics that can be applied to all stu-dent populations, there is an additional level of focus that comes with the requirement for student athletes to maintain academic eligibility1 as a condition of in-tercollegiate athletic participation.

ing Communities and innovative academic support programs such as Writing in the End Zone (WEZ) are designed to maintain high levels of success and completion for student athletes at CSM—as evidenced in the compar-ative cumulative GPAs of our student athletes. (See Table 3)

Completion Outcomes

CSM student athletes successfully complete their educational goals at a very high rate. Overall, 82.5% of all athletes, and 85.5% of football players, transfer and/or complete an SMCCCD degree or certificate. In comparison, 43.6% of CSM first-time, full-time students successfully complete a degree/certificate or transfer. The comparable figure for all California Community Colleges is 39.6%.2

Overall, 506 student athletes transferred to 209 different four-year colleges and universities over a 7-year period from 2010-11 to 2016-17.

Student-AthleteParticipation Agreement

Initial: ______

INTRODUCTION

The intercollegiate athletic program at the San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD)enhances the personal growth and education of students through their participation in a comprehensive program. A student-athlete will be a responsible citizen, who achieves academically and performs athletically. The District’s athletic program actively promotes equity and diversity, and provides community enrichment.

To this end, the SMCCCD has adopted a standard of ethical conduct and behavioral expectations for all athletes at Cañada College, College of San Mateo and Skyline College. These standards andexpectations are in addition to but complementary of the SMCCCD colleges’ Student Code of Conduct and the decorum standards established by the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA).

STANDARDS OF BEHAVIOR

It is a privilege and not a right to be a student-athlete at the colleges of the San Mateo County Community College District. On campus, in the community, and on the internet/online, every student-athlete is expected to conduct himself or herself in a manner that exhibits honor and respect for themselves, their team, their college and the surrounding community for the duration of his or her time as a SMCCCD student-athlete.

1. Academics. It is the responsibility of each student athlete to maintain good academic standing. Each athlete must meet the eligibility requirements established by the California Community College Athletic Association (CCCAA). This includes maintaining fulltime enrollment during each semester an athlete’s sport is in season. Student-athletes are expected to attend class regularly and punctually, and to fulfill academic performance requirements. Failure to meet such obligations may affect eligibility to participate in District sports.

2. Compliance. As a student-athlete at SMCCCD, participants must comply with all federal, state and local laws as well as College regulations regarding academics and general conduct, including those outlined in each SMCCCD college’s Student Code of Conduct.

At all times, student-athletes are required to conduct themselves in a manner respectful of themselves, their team, their college(s), the District, game officials, opponents, and property. Student-athletes are to refrain from disrespectful conduct such as unsporting conduct; profane, abusive, demeaning, harassing, threatening, or obscene expression; or deliberate damage to equipment or other property. Disrespectful conduct will not be tolerated.

6. Online/Internet Activities (including social media). An athlete’s behavior in their personal life can reflect well or poorly on themselves and their teams/college. Student-athletes should make wise decisions about personal behavior. Student-athletes are cautioned to exercise good judgement when engaging on social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, Flickr, etc. This includes not posting (1) offensive or inappropriate pictures, (2) offensive or inappropriate comments, and/or (3) posting any information that would be a violation of this Agreement, the college’s Student Code of Conduct, and all other applicable state, federal, and local laws and regulations. REMEMBER: Once something is posted to social media, it is almost impossible to make it go away.

7. Violence. SMCCCD is committed to creating and maintaining a community in which its members are free from all forms of harassment, exploitation, intimidation, and violence. Student-athletes are prohibited from engaging in violent acts including assault on a person or property, hate crimes, hazing, stalking, sexual violence, or any other conduct prohibited by District policy or law.

8. Sexual Assault. SMCCCD will not tolerate sexual harassment, intimidation, stalking, rape, domestic violence, or other related violations. Any athlete found in violation of this standard maybe subject to immediate athletic-related sanctions and/or discipline by the College, as outlined inDistrict policies related to harassment, assault and abuse.

9. Conduct. Student-athletes are held accountable to a high standard of ethical conduct in all activities affecting the athletics program, whether as a participant or as a spectator. “Unsporting” conduct will be reviewed by the Director of Athletics and may result in athletic-related sanctions.

10. Team Obligations. Student-athletes must complete training requirements; arrive promptly for team practices, meetings, and departure for away games and other team events; comply with team rules set by coaches; attend team functions; and otherwise fulfill their responsibilities as team members.

TIMELY NOTIFICATION

Student-athletes arrested for, or charged with, violating the law must immediately inform their team’s head coach of their arrest/charge. Upon consultation with the coach, the college’s Athletic Director shall determine the appropriate course of action, consulting the Vice President of Student Services asnecessary. Based on available information, the Athletic Director (or his or her designee) may, at any time prior to a finding or plea of guilt to a criminal charge, impose additional sanctions relating to a student-athlete’s ability to participate in a sport.

DISCIPLINARY PROCESS AND SANCTIONS

The Department of Athletics disciplinary process is complementary to the College’s Student Code of Conduct and relates exclusively to a student-athlete’s participation in the athletics program. If a student-athlete violates the College’s Student Code of Conduct, he or she will be referred to the College student judicial processes.

Sanctions levied by the Athletics Department for violating this Participation Agreement may occur over and above those levied by the College. Sanctions will vary depending on the type and circumstances of the violation. A student-athlete who is subject to sanctions imposed for violating this Agreement may appeal the sanctions issued by their head coach or college athletic director to the college president. Appeals to the college president must be received – in writing – within three (3) business days of the date the sanction is imposed. The decision of the college president is final and not appealable.
