Dear Tigers,

EXPECT SUCCESS! Those are the first words that I want you to memorize as we begin what will be a great year here at Towson. We have a lot of positive momentum surrounding our department as we head into this chapter of our history. Every person makes a difference in how our collective goals are achieved so please make the most of every class, study hall, practice, strength/conditioning session, meal, training room appointment, and competition. Your hard work during the offseason and the sacrifices you made will put you, your teammates and your coaches in position to compete for championships.

Our first priority is WINNING in everything we do. If you are committed to being a CHAMPION in the classroom and in competition then Towson University is the right place for you. Our goal is to push you to the limit in every avenue to achieve these goals. WINNING is a habit and we will help you develop a mindset that will not only serve you well during your college career, but for life as you become a professional, a parent, etc… As such, your LEADERSHIP is needed to help push our ultimate goals.

You are a TOWSON TIGER, now and for the rest of your life. With that badge of honor comes the responsibility of being held to a very HIGH STANDARD. Make no mistake about it, everyone knows who you are and as a result the things that you do while at Towson are magnified, for better and for worse. Always represent yourself in a first-class manner because you never know how the choices you make now will impact your life beyond college athletics. Think and act first class, and you will always come out on top. You will be treated like adults and expected to act the same way. RESPECT YOUR POSITION!

Having the opportunity to be a Tiger student-athlete is a privilege. You are a part of a great tradi-tion and you will add to this legacy during your time here at TU. My hope is that you make every moment count just as if it would be your last one ever, because someday, it will be. What you take away from your college athletics experience is a collection of memories and experiences that you could not attain in any other association. You will soon be a graduate of Towson University and will move forward as a shining example of what a student-athlete should be. Enjoy the journey!

I am proud to be your Director of Athletics and am available to you at any time, as are the other members of our Athletics Leadership Team.

Thanks for your passion to be WINNERS, CHAMPIONS and LEADERS.

EXPECT SUCCESS!

Sincerely,

Mike Waddell Director of Athletics

A Letter from the P.A.W.S. President

Since first opening its doors in 1866, the institution known today as Towson University has undergone a number of changes in name and status. With the mission of preparing teachers for Maryland’s public school system, it was originally designated the State Normal School. By 1935, it had become a degree-granting institution called the State Teachers College at Towson. Univer-sity status was accorded in 1976, in recognition of Towson State’s broadened role in Maryland higher education. In 1988, Towson State University joined 10 other public institutions in the University System of Maryland. In 1997, Towson dropped the designation “state” from its name to become Towson University. The new name recognized shifts in funding and the development and growth of Towson as a metropolitan university.

Towson’s 328-acre campus, home of the institution since 1915, boasts an impressive blend of traditional and modern architecture, including: Stephens Hall, Albert S. Cook Library, Center for the Arts, Van Bokkelen Hall, Smith Hall, Hawkins Hall, Psychology Building, Linthicum Hall, Lecture Hall, 7800 York Road, Burdick Hall, University Union, Enrollment Services Center, Administration Building, Child Care Center, the Sports Complex, Phase 1 of the College of Liberal Arts (CLA) building completed in fall 2009, and Phase 2 of the CLA building completed in 2011.

In contrast to the first class of 11 students, Towson University today enrolls more than 17,000 full- and part-time under-graduates, including international students from nearly 100 countries. In addition, there are more than 4,300 graduate students pursuing advanced degrees. Over 45 academic departments offer more than 65 undergraduate majors leading to a bachelor’s degree. Departments are grouped into six academic subdivisions: the colleges of Liberal Arts, Science and Mathematics, Fine Arts and Communi-cation, Education, Health Professions, and Business and Economics. The Graduate School offers 48 master’s degree programs. Towson University also offers doctoral programs in Audiology, Applied Information Technology, Instructional Technology, Occupational Science and Jewish Studies.

ThE_ToWSoN_TIgEr_MASCoT:_DoCTowson University is one of 28 NCAA member institutions using the nickname “Tigers.” The Tiger is the most popular mascot among American colleges and universities. However, its obvious popularity was not the real reason the Tiger was selected to represent Towson.

When Towson University was a two-year normal school, the Baltimore media referred to its teams as the “Teachers”. As the school expanded to three and four year programs, the newspapers granted Towson student-athletes tenure, calling them the “Professors” and even shortening it to

“Profs.” Later, it was changed again to the “Schoolmasters.”

The “Indians” and “Golden Knights” were other nicknames used over the years. But, as the tale goes, the moniker was finally decided after a soccer match. One autumn afternoon a sportswriter was covering the Towson soccer team in an uphill struggle. The next day the writer wrote that although the team had lost the game, “…they played like tigers.” The soccer team appreciated the comment and adopted “Tigers” as its nickname. Enthusiasm for it spread throughout the campus and the Tiger eventually became the official designated mascot.

The Towson Tiger logo has also experienced change. Several years ago the new “stylistic” tiger was unveiled, replacing the upright caricature that had been used since the mid-’80s. That took the place of the old block Tiger, which served as the logo from 1979. The Towson logo is a registered trademark, and approval is required for its use. To receive permission to reproduce the logo, please contact the university’s licensing coordinator, Rick Pallansch, at 410-704-2229.

It is the belief of the University that participation in intercollegiate athletics is a privi-lege. As such, it is expected that student-athletes (as well as coaches and staff) represent Towson University in an exemplary manner at all times.

The following Student-Athlete Expectations are explained to and signed off on by all student-athletes each year. The violation of any of these rules may result in disciplinary action as deemed appropriate by the coach, Sport Administrator, Director of Athletics or University Administrator.

1. Personal Conduct by Student-Athletes: Student-athletes are, at all times, representa-tives of the Towson University Department of Athletics. Therefore, it is the responsibility of student-athletes to conduct themselves in a manner deemed appropriate to faculty, coaches, and the athletics administration. Disruptive or unacceptable behavior that, in the opinion of coaches and/or adminis-trators, is determined to be detrimental to a student-athlete, the sport program in which they participate, the Department of Athletics and/or the University will be addressed, and appropriate disciplinary action will be taken. Such action may include the gradation or cancellation of current or future athletically related financial aid and/or team probation, suspension, or expulsion.

Alcoholic beverages are not to be possessed or consumed by student-athletes, prospective student-athletes, student managers or cheer-leaders, regardless of age, during Towson University athletics-related travel, competi-tion, practice, or activities.

2. Substance Abuse Policy and Education Program: All student-athletes are given the Towson University Department of Athletics’ Substance Abuse Policy and are required to participate in the Department’s Substance Abuse Education Program. Student-athletes who fail to attend required substance abuse education programs may jeopardize their eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletics.

3. Academic Expectations: Student-athletes are expected to regularly attend all academic classes, to notify instructors in a timely manner when they will be away from class for scheduled athletic contests, and to complete all course requirements.Failuretodosomayjeopardize continued participation in the Towson University Athletics Program.

4. Athletics Grant-in-Aid: Student-athletes receiving an athletics grant-in-aid have addi-tional responsibilities to Towson University. All student-athletes who receive an athletics grant-in-aid are contributing members of their respective teams in addition to being exemplary members of the Athletics program. Athletics grants are awarded on a one-year basis, as required by NCAA regulations. During the period of the award, an athletics grant may be reduced or eliminated if the student-athlete voluntarily withdraws from his/her team or is removed from the team for disciplinary or academic ineligibility reasons. It is upon the recommendation of the head coach that an athletics grant is renewed for the ensuing year. When an athletics grant-in-aid is reduced or canceled, the student-athlete has the ability to appeal the decision in writing totheFinancialAidOfficeifhe/shefeelsthatthe reasons are questionable or unfair. The student-athlete must do this within 21 days from the date they are notified of the reduc-tion or cancellation of aid.

Student-Athlete Conduct and Expectations

grADuATIoNThe Towson University Department of Athletics is committed to the concept that each student-athlete is a student first and foremost. This is not to diminish the importance of athletic participation. However, the graduation of our student-athletes is the primary goal of the Department.Fromthetimeastudent-athleteis admitted to the University, the focus of the department is for the student-athletes to have a positive experience and to graduate. To this end, academic advising and support programs have been designed to assist all student-athletes in meeting the goal of graduation. The gradua-tion rate for student-athletes as reported in all NCAA Graduation Rate Reports exceeds that of the general student population. It is expected that student-athletes will make every effort to obtain an undergraduate degree within 4 to 6 years of initial enrollment. All coaches, staff, and administrators endorse this commitment to each student-athlete’s education.

CoMMuNITy_SErvICEThe Towson University Department of Athletics is committed to assisting the campus and GreaterBaltimorecommunityintheformofcommunity service. Team members are involved in a variety of activities throughout the year. Community service includes such activities as conducting sport skills clinics, campus clean-ups, assisting with Senior and Special Olympics, and visiting schools and hospitals. Each head coach, in collaboration with the Director of the Total Tiger Program, is responsible for the organi-zation and scheduling of community service activities for his/her team(s) at least once a term. All team members are expected to participate.

In addition, PAWS: Proud Athletes Who Serve, the student-athlete advisory council, is involved in a minimum of one community/university service activity per term. It is expected that all teams will be involved. The team representatives on the council are responsible for organizing these service programs.

general_Philosophy

The opportunity for students to participate in intercollegiate athletics is a privilege. As such, the personal conduct of Towson University student-athletes is of major concern to the Depart-ment of Athletics. The Department reserves the right to delay or prohibit a student-athlete’s participation in intercollegiate athletics for violation of Departmental, University, State, or Federalregulations.

There are a few standing rules for all members of the Towson University Athletics Family:1. Never do anything to embarrass yourself.2 . Never do anything to embarrass your teammates or coaches.

These are simple rules to follow and if you meet these standards there should not be any issues moving forward regarding conduct.

legal_Issues

When a student-athlete is involved in a behavior or incident resulting in an arrest, he/she must immediately notify the Department of Athletics administration. This notification may be through his/her coach or directly to the Sport Administrator. The Sport Administrator will initially gather information regarding the incident and provide the results to the Director of Athletics and Judicial Affairs. The student-athlete may be removed from outside competition (and potentially practice). When there is evidence that the continued presence of a student on a team poses a threat to him/herself or others, or to the stability and continuance of normal team activities, the coach may suspend a student-athlete from any or all team activities. Those activities, which may require an interim suspension until a review of the final disposition of the case, include, but are not limited to: severe acts of physical violence (e.g. first degree assault), illegal substance possession or use, distribution or intent to distribute, or alcohol issues which result, or have the potential to result, in physical harm to one's self or to others, or property damage. In these cases, decisions regarding future participation in Athletics will be dependent upon a review of the final results of the case by the Director of Athletics and Sport Administrator in consultation with the Head Coach. The Associate Director of Athletics for Student Success will be notified of the situation and maintain the Departmental records. All discussions must remain confidential and between


13

those individuals who are either involved or need to know about the situation. Failure to report an arrest may result in immediate suspension regardless of the findings of an internal inves-tigation until the final disposition of the case is available. Documentation of all such incidents will be kept on file in the Department of Athletics.

ToWSoN_uNIvErSITy__STuDENT_CoNDuCT_ACTIoNSAt Towson University, the Office of Student Conduct & Civility Education is responsible for enforcing the University’s Code of Student Conduct, which is detailed in the University Catalog. When a student is charged with a violation of the Code of Student Conduct, the Office of Student Conduct & Civility Educa-tion investigates the case and imposes sanctions. The Department of Athletics is occasionally consulted and always notified of the actions taken by the Office of Student Conduct & Civility Education when student-athletes are involved. It is expected that student-athletes will be subjected to the same University sanctions as the regular student for failure to follow the Code of Student Conduct. Further, it is expected that the Head Coach of a sport with a student-athlete who has had sanctions imposed by the Office of Student Conduct & Civility Education will enforce the actions.

Tu_CoDE_oF_CoNDuCT__SuMMAry

The following is a summary of the TU Code of Student Conduct. The complete code can be viewed at:www.towson.edu/studentaffairs/policies/conduct.asp

Towson University’s mission to the commu-nity at large is one of academic excellence and achievement. To that end, its campus community must be one wherein respect for the individual pursuit of academic excellence and achievement is given priority. In order to foster this environ-ment, it is incumbent upon students to conduct

themselves within the framework of the reason-able rules and regulations designed to enhance and protect the academic environment of the university. By specifying behavioral standards and by establishing fair and efficient processes for adjudicating conflict, the university seeks to protect the environment in which learning is nurtured and respect for that goal is continu-ally afforded.

The primary purpose for the imposition of discipline in the university setting is to protect the campus community. Consistent with that purpose, reasonable efforts will also be made to foster the personal, educational, and social development of those students who are held accountable for violations of university regula-tions. However, the university must commit its policies and procedures first of all to protect and promote the academic enterprise. Consequently, it may be necessary to suspend or expel students who have been found responsible for violations of this Code, or who otherwise pose a substantial danger to the campus community.

26. Unauthorized use of the name "Towson Univer-sity" or the unauthorized use of any University trademark, service mark, logo or seal for adver-tising or promotional purposes in a manner that expressly or impliedly indicates the University's endorsement.

Scope1. Generally, student or group conduct subject to insti-

tutional discipline is limited to: on-campus actions; off-campus actions which affect the university community or the university's pursuit of its mission, policies or procedures; off-campus actions by offi-cially sponsored organizations, groups, or NCAA



15Student-Athlete Conduct and Expectations

teams; or actions on university property which is leased to, or managed by, an entity other than the university .

2. However, a student charged with a violation of federal, state, or local laws for off-campus behavior may be disciplined by the university without a university hearing or informal investigation when: the student is found guilty by a court of law; the student pleads guilty or nolo contendere to the charges; or, the student is given probation before judgment.

Allegations of off-campus event related misconduct (see definitions) must be supported by a report, statement or accusa-tion from a law enforcement agency in whose jurisdiction the misconduct is alleged to have occurred.

Additionally, interim or final disciplinary action may be taken before any court action is completed. Examples of charges that may result in action include acts of violence, drug- and alcohol-related violations, and a citation for a disorderly house. Such action will be taken only after a limited investigation by the Office of Student Conduct & Civility Education. The student will be offered a meeting with a university official to discuss the incident.

In situations where a student is not able to meet with a university official, interim action may still be taken pending a meeting with the student.

Any interim action shall be reviewed, and appropriate final action taken, at the student's request or at the university's discretion, when a final court decision is rendered or when the university receives additional persuasive evidence .

3. Some conduct clearly disturbs only the campus environment; when such behavior occurs, the university shall take internal action.

4. When there is evidence that a student has committed a crime on campus, disciplinary action at the university will normally proceed

independently of pending criminal charges, including when charges involving the same incident have been dismissed or dropped. The student may then be subject to civil authori-ties as well as internal disciplinary action.

5. When a student is charged with a violation of one or more provisions of this Code, a letter listing the charges will be given or sent to the student within a reasonable amount of time. At a meeting with a representative of the Office of Student Conduct & Civility Education, the student will be informed of :a. Specific violation(s)b. Description of alleged incidentc. Hearing or informal investigation

procedured. Rights of appeal

hAZINg“Hazing”, in any form, is against the law and is strictly prohibited at Towson University. When this policy is violated, action may be taken against all participants. Hazing risks human lives, mistreats those involved and jeopardizes the affiliation of campus organizations at this university.“Hazing” is defined as any action taken or situation created intentionally, whether on or off campus, inflicted on person(s) joining a group or member(s) of a group, to produce mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment or ridicule without the individual's consent. Hazing includes any mental or physical requirement, request, or obligation which emphasizes one individual’s power over others; that could cause pain, disgrace, or injury; that is personally degrading; and/or that violates and federal, state local law or University policy.


16 Student-Athlete Conduct and Expectations

Such activities and situations include but are not limited to: team initiations, kidnapping, paddling in any form; creation of excessive fatigue for inappropriate reasons; road trips not authorized by university administra-tors; scavenger hunts; requiring inappropriate dress (including, but not limited to: militaristic garb and/or apparel which is conspicuous and not normally in good taste, for the purpose of public embarrassment); engaging in public stunts and humiliating games and activities; late night sessions that interfere with scholastic and occupational activities; inappropriate activities and forced calisthenics; line-ups (lining people up and harassing them verbally); running personal errands for the members; forced consumption, included but not limited to: alcohol, illegal substances and food; and any other activities not consistent with the academic mission of the university.

Anyone experiencing or witnessing a violation of this Hazing policy is encouraged to report the incident to the Office of Student Conduct and Civility Education (OSCCE). Any individual or group alleged to have engaged in Hazing will be referred to OSCCE, which will handle allegations in accordance with its usual procedures for alleged violations of University policies. All students have a responsibility to avoid participating in Hazing activities.

Any student-athlete or athletic team found to be involved in a hazing incident will be sanctioned by OSCCE, and may also sanctioned by the Depart-ment of Athletics. A student-athlete and/or team found violating this policy may be suspended for the remainder of the academic year. All remaining contests may be forfeited. Additional penalties may be placed on the program after an investigation. This decisionwillincludeinputfromtheAssociateVicePresident of Student Affairs, and the Director of Athletics or designee.

SoCIAl_NETWorKINg_PolICyStudent-athletes must be concerned with any behavior that might embarrass themselves, their teams, and/or Towson University. This includes any activities conducted online. Towson University supports and encourages the individuals’ expression of first amend-ment rights of free speech. This includes participating in online social networking sites (Myspace.com and/or facebook.com).

The University and Department of Athletics does not place any restrictions on the use of these sites by student-athletes. However, we remind you that as a member of the Towson University Intercollegiate Department of Athletics, you are a representative of the university and are always in the public eye. Please keep the following guidelines in mind as you participate on social networking web sites:

• Beforeparticipatinginanyonlinecommunity,under-stand that anything posted online is available to anyone, anywhere. Any text or photo placed online is completely out of your control the moment it is placed online — even if you limit access to your site.

• Foryoursafety,donotposthomeaddress,localaddress, phone number(s), birth date or other personal information, photos, or other items online that could embarrass you, your team, or Towson University. This includes information, photos and items that may be posted by others on your page.

• Exercisecautionastowhatinformationyoupostonyour website about your whereabouts or plans. You could be opening yourself up to predators.

• Beawareofwhoyouaddasafriendonyoursite; many people are looking to take advantage of student-athletes, while others want to get close to student-athletes to give them a sense of membership on the team.

Individuals within the University and law enforcement personnel check these websites regularly. In addition to the unfortunate reality of online predators, potential employers and internship supervisors also use these sites to screen candidates. Many graduate programs and scholarship committees now search these sites to screen applications. We advise Towson University student-athletes to exercise extreme caution in their use of social networking websites.

PolICy_rEgArDINg__rESPoNSIBlE_TIgEr_ProToColThe Responsible Tiger Protocol presents a guideline for students to follow in reaching out for help when you see a friend or fellow student who is too intoxicated and needs medical attention, or who may be in medical danger and their personal safety is at risk. While it is against Towson University policy and State/Federal law to drink underage, if you are in a situation where a student needs medical attention the University expects you to act responsibly. The following steps are required: Call, Remain, & Cooperate

• CallTUPD,9/11,and/ornotifyaUniversitystaffmember (including Resident Assistants) of the student in the need of medical attention.

• Remainwiththestudentinneeduntilhelparrives.Cooperate fully with the staff or agency responding to the situation.

• CooperatewiththeappropriateUniversitystafffollowing the incident.

Why_this_is_important:

A person’s actions in such situations may result in saving a student’s life or minimizing harmful consequences to him or her as a result of heavy drinking and/or drug use. Students who follow this protocol and act respon-sibly will be granted consideration if they are charged under the Code of Student Conduct for minor alcohol violations relating to the same incident. By following this protocol, consideration may be given as part of the University’s disciplinary process. This may mean that if your situation is reviewed in a student conduct proceeding, following the Responsible Tiger Protocol may work both in your favor and in the favor of the student whose health was at risk.

PolICy_oN_oFF-CAMPuS__DISorDErly_AND__DISruPTIvE_BEhAvIorUnder the provisions of the Student Code of Conduct, the University may bring charges against a student or group of students whose “off-campus actions affect the University community or the University’s pursuit of its mission, policies or procedures”. Off-campus

behavior which is disorderly and disruptive to others in the community or the neighborhoods surrounding the University may fall under this category.

When addressing the off-campus behavior of its students, the University is primarily interested in responding to students who demonstrate a pattern of behavior over time that is disruptive to others in the community and involves disorderly conduct that is a violation of local, state or federal laws or the University Code of Student Conduct.

Repeated off-campus conduct that is disorderly and disrupts others in the community is prohibited and is subject to discipline through the University’s disciplin-ary process. Students who lease off-campus residences shall be held accountable for the disorderly and disrup-tive actions of others occurring within the leased premises and shall be subject to discipline under the Student Code of Conduct. It is not necessary for students to receive a criminal or civil citation in order for their behavior to be subject to discipline.

Possible_Sanctions:_

The Student Code of Conduct lists a variety of penal-ties which may be imposed on students or student organizations for violations of the Code. The Office of Student Conduct and Civility Education may use any of the penalties listed in the Code to address violations. However, if students engaging in disorderly conduct develop a pattern of violations relating to disruptive behavior, there may be sequentially more serious sanc-tions. Students may be put on University probation and fined $250 per student resident, increasing to $500 for subsequent incidents of similar nature. For particularly egregious violations, the University may impose a more severe sanction.

PolICy_oN_ThrEATS_AND_vIolENCENothing is more important to Towson University than the safety and security of its campus. Threats, threat-ening behavior, or acts of violence against students, staff, employees, visitors, guests, or other individuals by anyone on Towson University property will not be tolerated. The university defines workplace violence as actions or words that endanger or harm another individual or result in other persons having a reasonable belief that they are in danger. Any person who in the judgment of the university makes substantial threats,



18

exhibits threatening behavior, or engages in violent acts on Towson University property may be removed from the premises, may be suspended, and/or experi-ence criminal prosecution. University students, faculty, and staff are responsible for reporting any threats which they have witnessed, received, or have been told that another person has witnessed or received.

SEXuAl_ASSAulT_PolICyTowson University is committed to creating a safe and secure campus environment that is free from acts of intimidation or the fear of falling victim to a sexual assault. Rape and other types of sexual assault, whether by stranger or by an acquaintance, are violations of the law and university policy. In addition to criminal and legal penalties, sexual assault may result in sanctions including expulsion from the university for students and termination of employment for faculty and staff, as provided for in the University System of Maryland Policy on Sexual Assault, the Towson University Code of Conduct, and Towson University Personnel Policies and Procedures.

DEPArTMENT_oF_AThlETICS__DISCIPlINAry_ACTIoNSThere are times when the Department of Athletics becomes aware that a student-athlete may have violated the Towson University Code of Student Conduct or local, state, or federal guidelines but has not (yet) been charged. In this case, it is the responsibility of any Department of Athletics staff member to notify the Head Coach and/or Sport Administrator of potential violations of the Code of Conduct, Department of Athletics policy or Team Regulations. Once the Department of Athletics becomes aware of a violation, the Office of Student Conduct & Civility Education must be notified. After the investigation, the Department of Athletics will deter-mine whether the actions taken by Student Conduct & Civility Education warrant further departmental action.

Those activities, which are deemed to be a violation of Department of Athletics policy, include:

1. Alcohol use while representing Towson University;

2. Physical abuse of any individual;

3. Disruption of coaching, team or departmental activi-ties including uncooperative behavior;

4. Intentionally or recklessly damaging, defacing, or tampering with University or University Staff prop-erty;

5. Possession or sale of illegal drugs;

6. Organization and/or participation in Hazing or Initiation Activities (full definition on page 15);

7. Gambling on college or professisonal sports events; and

When a student-athlete is involved in any of these activities, but not charged by Towson University, the Department of Athletics may immediately suspend the student-athlete, pending the outcome of an internal investigation. The Sport Administrator will be respon-sible for gathering information related to the incident in consultation with the Head Coach. The results of the review will be discussed with the Director of Athletics and Associate Director of Athletics for Student Success before sanctions are imposed. If the allegations are substantiated, the student-athlete will be suspended from the program for a specified length of time as determined by the Department of Athletics, Towson University, or the NCAA. The Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance Services will report any activity, which is found to be a violation of NCAA regulations, to the NCAA and/or the appropriate Conference Office.

Incident_Management

When a student-athlete is involved in an alleged incident that includes student conduct issues, the Department of Athletics will review the facts surrounding the case before determining potential sanctions against the individual. In most cases, the Sport Administrator will initiate the review, which will follow the below noted procedure. At that time, the Director of Athletics may designate another individual (including Associate DirectorofAthleticsforStudentSuccess,FAR,orOffice of Student Conduct) to initiate the investigation.


20 Student-Athlete Conduct and Expectations

1. There will be an information gathering session, conducted by the Sport Administrator (or designee) in consultation with the Head Coach. Any additional staff members necessary to conduct the investiga-tion will be included in this session. As part of the investigation, the student-athlete, Head Coach and Sport Administrator will meet to discuss the facts of the case. If you are involved in an incident you should be straightforward and 100% honest when being asked about the circumstances surrounding the incident. Sharing anything other than the whole truth and nothing but the truth is unacceptable. Lying is not tolerated and will be met with swift consequences.

2. Once the facts have been determined, if it is deemed that a violation has occurred, appropriate actions will be taken as outlined in previous sections. The student-athlete will be required to enter into an

“agreement” with the Department of Athletics. The “agreement” will detail the sanctions taken against the student-athlete including any criteria for continued athletics participation. If the student-athlete abides by the original conditions of the agreement, the case will be closed at the end of a specified period of time (usually one calendar year).

3. If there should be a violation of the conditions set forth in the agreement, the Director of Athletics will be included in a meeting of the student-athlete, Head Coach and Sport Administrator. At this time, the student-athlete may be suspended from the team for a specific time period (as determined by the severity of the incident). A determination will be made at the time of the meeting as to whether the student-athlete will have additional sanctions placed against him or her. If there is a continuation of the behavior and/or unwillingness to abide by the previously stated conditions, the student-athlete will be dismissed from the team.

Communication/Departmental_Action

Any disciplinary action taken against a student-athlete is strictly confidential. Thus, all specific informa-tion regarding the case may only be shared within theUniversitycommunityasallowedbytheFamilyEducationalRightsandPrivacyAct(FERPA).TheSport Administrator will be responsible to maintain the

official records of the investigation with a copy of any contract being shared with the Associate Director of Athletics for Student Success. The student-athlete and Head Coach will receive a copy of the contract and any other documentation written on the case. In addition, the student-athlete may appeal any decision that he/she feels is unjust. The appeal will follow the Department of Athletics policy as outlined in the Student-Athlete Handbook.

Team_rule_violations

Each head coach may have additional rules specific to theteammembers.Forthesetobeenacted,theyshouldbe written, distributed to the team at the beginning of the year (or season), and reviewed and signed by each team member. Investigations of violations of team regulations are the responsibility of the Head Coach and Sport Administrator. Consistent penalties must be imposed within each team. Upon completion of a review of an alleged violation, the results must be documented with consequences included. The Associate Director of Athletics for Student Success maintains the Depart- ment of Athletics file of disciplinary actions imposed following violations of team regulations. As with violations of Department of Athletics policies, sanc-tions imposed may be appealed utilizing the Towson University Department of Athletics Grievance Procedure.


21Student-Athlete Grievance Policies & Procedures

PolICyGrounds for grievances are restricted to ques-tions on process and fairness relating to the implementation of NCAA and Towson Univer-sity rules and regulations. This would include (but not be limited to): financial aid, transfer releases, allowing a student-athlete the opportu-nity to compete for positions, sexual harassment issues, or abusive behavior. The grounds for grievance may not infringe upon the coach’s judgment regarding ability or any other factor considered being important to further the goals of intercollegiate athletics at Towson Univer-sity. It is every coach’s responsibility to treat each student-athlete in a fair, consistent, and appropriate manner. The Towson University Department of Athletics is adamant that the student-athlete’s best interest always be taken into consideration.

It must be noted that the administrative philos-ophy is to maintain an open door to both staff and student-athletes. A request by a student-athlete for a meeting with an administrator will not be ignored. The basic focus of any initial meeting is for the Sport Administrator to determine the problem, and whether the student-athlete has discussed the problem with the Head Coach, Assistant Coach, captain or other individual. It will be made clear to the student-athlete that he/she must take their concern to the Head Coach unless a grievance is being filed. The Sport Administrator will notify the Head Coach of the meeting and discussion.

ProCEDurEIt is the Head Coach’s responsibility to make available to each student-athlete a copy of this policy. The procedures for a redress of grievance should be explained to the student-athletes at the initial team meeting. At any point a dispute occurs, a student-athlete must be notified that there is a grievance procedure which he/she may pursue.

1. A student-athlete who has a grievance may take the grievance to an Assistant Coach, team captain(s), or the Head Coach of the sport in which he/she is participating. Such grievance will be made known to the Head Coach within a 48-hour period. The Head Coach will respond in a like period. The Head Coach must keep the Sport Administrator informed of any conversation or documenta-tion which occurs.

2. A student-athlete may request a conference with any of the above individuals or all of the above individuals to review the grievance. A conference will be held between the Head Coach and the student-athlete. At the discre-tion of the Head Coach, the captain and/or Assistant Coach may participate. The purpose of the meeting is to resolve the grievance.

3. If unresolved at this point, the grievance would go to the Sport Administrator where a conference will be held with the student-athlete and Head Coach in an attempt to resolve the grievance.

4. If the Sport Administrator’s recommendation for resolving the grievance is rejected by either the student-athlete or the Head Coach, either may take the following course of action.

5. In writing (directed to the Director of Athletics) initiate all factual details relevant to the nature of the grievance, why the recom-mendation is unacceptable; or if the grievance is still unresolved, how the grievance could be resolved.

6. The Director of Athletics shall review the situ-ation and make a final determination. There will be no further appeal to the grievance decision within the Department of Athletics.

7. This ends jurisdiction of the Department of Athletics; however, the student-athlete has all regular University channels still available.

We request your cooperation by supporting the participants and officials in a positive manner. Profanity, racial or sexist comments or other intimidating actions directed at officials, student-athletes, coaches or team representa-tives will not be tolerated and grounds for removal from the site of competition. All artificial noisemakers that resemble a device or official’s whistle will be confiscated. Also, consumption or possession of alcoholic beverages in any Towson University Athletics’ facility is strictly prohibited. In addition, threatening physical actions, throwing objects of any type and disorderly or disrup-tive conduct will result in immediate removal and denial of access to future events. Events sponsored by Towson University Athletics should be fun and safe for all.

SPorTSMANShIP_Under the principles of conduct of intercollegiate athletics, the NCAA states: “Student-athletes of a member institution shall deport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their behavior shall at all

times reflect the high standards of honor and dignity that characterize participation in competitive sports in a collegiate setting.” The Towson University Department of Athletics and its coaching staff will not tolerate poor sportsmanship or any action by a student-athlete that deliberately injures a teammate or opponent during a practice or competition. Examples of poor sportsman-ship behavior include, but are not limited to:

1. Physical abuse of an athlete, coach, official or spec-tator;

2. Use of obscene or inappropriate language or gestures to team members, opponents, officials, the media or spectators;

3. Any ac t ion which v io la te s recogn ized intercollegiate athletics standards for appropriate conduct, or the values and standards associ-ated with Towson University and the CAA.

CAA_SPorTSMANShIP__PolICyAny player or coach ejected from a contest for unsports-manlike conduct or behavior will automatically be suspended for the next game. A second ejection within any year would result in a two-game suspension and a third ejection would result in a five-game suspension. The Commissioner of the CAA will have the authority to impose a greater sanction based on the seriousness of the misconduct.

The Academic Advising Center offers programs and services to students that help them become well-informed and effective decision makers and to be equipped to plan their Towson University education. The Academic Advising Center coor-dinates the First Year Experience (FYE) Advising

Program which aims to help each freshman student make a successful transition to Towson University and prepare for entry into a major of his/her choice. The center has knowledgeable and well-prepared peer student advisors who can address a wide range of questions. The Academic Advising Center’s professional staff also meets with students who are on academic warning or academic probation status to assist them in becoming successful Towson Univer-sity students. Another important function of the Center is to advise those students who are undecided about a major or are in the process of choosing or changing their majors. Appoint-ments are recommended but students are also seen as walk-ins.

Academic Advising

ACADEMIC_STANDArDS_For_ToWSoN_uNIvErSITyTo maintain good academic standing within the University, students must possess a minimum cumulative Grade Point Average based on the number of earned hours (EHRS) or units toward GPA, whichever is higher, as indicated below:

Students whose GPA falls below the level required for good academic standing are not immediately subject to academic dismissal from the University. These academic actions (as specified in the Towson University catalog) are enacted:

1. Academic Warning: Students who fail to attain the minimum grade point average (for the first time) receive an academic warning and must attain good standing by the end of their next term of attendance and remain in good standing.

2. Academic Suspension: Students who fail to attain good standing after being placed on “academic warning” are academically suspended at the end of the next Spring term. Students may not attend Towson University for one term or any intervening sessions (Summer/Minimester).

3. Academic Probation: After the suspension ends, students may be readmitted on academic probation, during which time they may enroll for a maximum of 13 units per term. They must also receive additional advising and may not register without written clear-ance from the Athletic Academic Advisor. Academic probation is noted permanently on students’ academic records.

Students on academic probation have three academic years or 24 earned units toward GPA, whichever comes first, to attain good academic standing. If students attain good academic standing during probation but subsequently fall below the minimum requirements for good academic standing, they will be given a one-term exception during which good academic standing must be attained. If they do not, they will be academically dismissed. Otherwise, they are considered to be on academic probation until they have either graduated or are academically dismissed.

Students have the ability to appeal any academic action. Student-athletes who wish to appeal an action should consult with their Athletic Academic Advisor in writing the letter of appeal. The final decisions on all appeals lie with the Academic Standards Committee.

Academic Standards Committee Office of the Registrar Enrollment Services Center 235 410-704-4351 410-704-6393 (fax)

Appeals or requests for exceptions must be made to the Academic Standards Committee. This committee establishes and interprets all policies governing the academic status of the undergraduate student.

28 University Academic Policies and Procedures

FErPA—rElEASE_oF_STuDENT_INForMATIoNTowson University maintains records of matters relevant to the educational process of each student. These records cannot be disclosed to individuals other than the student except by written consent of the student, by legal order, or in those special circumstances allowed by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974, as amended, (FERPA), a.k.a. the Buckley Amendment. See Appendix F, Uni-versity Catalog.

Student information is divided into two parts—directory information and educational information. Educational information cannot be released unless release is granted as described above. Directory information can be released unless, otherwise withheld by the student. Direc-tory Information at T.U. is defined as:

Name, address, telephone number, dates of attendance, classification (Fr, So, Jr, Sr, etc.), major field of study, awards or honors earned or conferred including dates, type of enroll-ment (full or part time), past and present participation in officially recognized sports and activities including personal physical fea-tures - (height and weight of athletes), date and place of birth. Please note that the inclusion of students' telephone numbers as directory information constitutes a change in previous definitions. Under the provisions of FERPA, students have a right to withhold disclosure of directory information. Students may initiate such action by completing the appropriate non-disclosure form:

•Undergraduates:Record'sOffice(Enroll- ment Services Center, room 223)

•Graduatesstudents:GraduateSchool

This must be done within two weeks of first day of class in the fall term. Otherwise, it will be assumed that the information may be disclosed for the remainder of the current academic year. A new form for non-disclosure must be completed each fall. Students should consider very carefully the consequences of any decision to withhold "Directory Information." Should you decide not to release it, any future requests for such information from non-institutional persons or organizations (banks, employers, etc.) will be refused. T.U. will honor your request to with-hold directory information, but cannot assume responsibility to contact you for subsequent permission to release it. That responsibility rests with the student.

All student-athletes sign a release of informa-tion form/waiver for the athletic department’s access to his/her grades and academic progress.

MEDICAl_EXCuSE_PolICyMedical Excuse policy: explains that students will not be given medical excuses by the Health Center for short-term class absence.www.towson.edu/dowell-healthcenter/health/excuse.asp

INCoMPlETE_grADESIncomplete grades must be made up by the end of the following term; otherwise, the grade reverts to an

“F.” Graduating seniors must resolve any outstanding incomplete grades and have their records adjusted for repeated courses within six weeks after their date of official graduation. Specific dates for each graduating class are included in the correspondence from the Graduation Clearance Office.

PASS/D/F_oPTIoNStudents may elect up to eight units in a single term and up to 12 units toward their degrees for which they may be graded on a Pass/D/F basis. If a student registers for more than eight term hours under this option in one term, only eight will apply toward graduation. This option is not available for courses required for a major, minor, or certification in teacher education unless special permission is obtained from the department concerned. Students must make all declarations or changes to the option before the end of the withdrawal period. To elect this grading option, students must complete a Course Schedule Change Form in the Enrollment Services Office (Room 223) during the “change of schedule” period (first week of class each term).

STuDENT_ACADEMIC_INTEgrITy_PolICyThe acquisition, sharing, communication, and evalua-tion of knowledge are at the core of a university’s mission. As responsible members of the academic community, students are obligated not to violate the basic standards of integrity. They are also expected to take an active role in encouraging other members to respect those standards. Should a student have reason to believe that a violation of academic integrity has occurred, he/she is encouraged to make the suspicion known to a member of the faculty or university administration. Plagiarism, fabrication, falsification, cheating, complicity in academic dishonesty,

abuse of academic materials, and multiple submissions are serious violations of the Academic Integrity Policy and may result in penalties that may include an “F” for the assignment, an “F” for the course, suspension from the university for a designated period of time, or even expulsion from the university.

The following definitions and examples are not meant to be exhaustive. The university reserves the right to determine, in a given instance, what action constitutes a violation of academic integrity.

A._Plagiarism

Presenting the work, products, ideas, words, or data of another as one’s own is plagiarism. Indebtedness must be acknowledged whenever:

1. One quotes another person’s actual words or repli-cates all or part of another’s product. This includes all information gleaned from any source, including the Internet.

2. One uses another person’s ideas, opinions, work, data, or theories, even if they are completely paraphrased in one’s own words.

3. One borrows facts, statistics, or other illustrative materials. Because expectations about academic assignments vary among disciplines and instructors, students should consult with their instructors about any special requirements related to citation.

In addition to oral or written work, plagiarism may also involve using, without permission and or acknowl-edgement, internet websites, computer programs or files, research designs, ideas and images, charts and graphs, photographs, creative works, and other types of information that belong to another.

Submitting as one’s own the work of a “ghost writer” or commercial writing service; knowingly buying or other-wise acquiring and submitting, as one’s own work any research paper or other writing assignment; submitting as one’s own, work in which portions were produced by someone acting as tutor or editor; collaborating with others on papers or projects without authorization of the instructor.

Verbatim statements must be enclosed by quotation marks, or set off from regular text as indented extracts, with full citation.



30 University Academic Policies & Procedures

B._Fabrication_And_Falsification

Making unauthorized alterations to information, or inventing any information or citation in an academic exercise. Fabrication is a matter of inventing or counter-feiting data, research results, information or procedures; inventing data or fabricating research procedures to make it appear that the results of one process are actually the results of several processes; and/or counterfeiting a record of internship or practicum experiences. Falsi-fication is a matter of altering the record of data or experimental procedures or results; false citation of the source of information (reproducing a quotation from a book review while indicating that the quotation was obtained from the book itself); altering the record of or reporting false information about practicum or clinical experiences; altering grade reports or other academic records; submitting a false excuse for absence or tardi-ness in a scheduled academic exercise; and/or altering a returned examination paper and seeking re-grading.

C._Cheating

Using or attempting to use unauthorized materials, information, notes, study aids, or other devices in any academic exercise. Copying from another student’s paper or receiving unauthorized assistance during a quiz, test or examination; using books, notes, or other devices (calculators) when these are not authorized; procuring without authorization tests or examinations before the scheduled exercise (including discussion of the substance of examinations and tests when it is expected these will not be discussed); copying reports, laboratory work, computer programs or files and the like from other students; collaborating on laboratory or computer programs or files and the like from other students; collaborating on laboratory or computer work without authorization and without indication of the nature and extent of the collaboration; and/or sending a substitute to take an examination.

D._Complicity_In__Academic_Dishonesty

Helping, or attempting to help, another commit an act of academic dishonesty. Allowing another to copy from one’s paper during an examination or test; distributing test questions or substantive information about the material to be tested without authorization before the

scheduled exercise; collaborating on academic work knowing that the collaboration will not be reported; and/or taking an examination or test for another student, or signing a false name on an academic exercise.

E._Abuse_of_Academic_Materials

Destroying, stealing, or making inaccessible library or other resource material. Stealing or destroying library or reference materials needed for common academic exercises; hiding resource material so others may not use them; destroying computer programs or files needed in academic work; stealing or intentionally destroying another student’s notes or laboratory experiments; and/or receiving assistance in locating or using sources of information in an assignment where such assistance has been forbidden by the instructor.

F._Multiple_Submissions

Submitting substantial portions of the same academic work (including oral reports) for credit more than once without authorization of the instructor(s). What constitutes a “substantial portion” of the same work is determined solely by the university.

A full description of the University Academic Integrity Policy, procedures for handling violations, penalties, and appeal procedures can be found at:

www.towson.edu/provost/resources/student academic.asp

DISAgrEEMENTS_rElATED__To_grADINgStudents who feel an earned grade is unjust must address their disagreements first to the instructor, who is primarily responsible for assigning grades. If the matter is not satisfactorily resolved through this approach and the issue warrants further consideration, students may then direct an appeal through the following channels: Department Chair/Program Coordinator, College Dean, or Division for Student Affairs.


31

rEPEATINg_CourSESStudents may take a course twice where credit has been earned or a grade of “F” of “FX” has been earned; third attempts must have prior approval by the Academic Standards Committee. The Committee will not consider petitions to take a course for a third time unless students currently possess a minimum Grade Point Average of 2.00. Grades of “W” are administrative grades and are not considered as part of the repeated course procedure.

When a course is repeated, students will receive credit for the course only once. Only the higher of the two grades will be calculated in the Grade Point Average. The lower grade will remain on the record with the letter “R” proceeding (e.g., “R”, “RX”, “RD”, etc.). The “R” indicates that the course has been repeated.

Note: Students who fail to obtain prior permission from the academic standards committee to make a third attempt of a course may not adjust their records for that attempt. Unauthorized third attempts will not apply toward the degree.

The grade earned in the second attempt will be used in the calculation of the overall average.

Courses in which low or failing grades were earned at Towson University MUST be repeated at Towson in order for the record to be adjusted and the GPA to be recalculated. Grades earned at other institutions do not adjust grades earned at Towson, nor do they alter the cumulative GPA.

In order for a course from another institution to be used at Towson University for eligibility purposes, prior approval must be received. Failure to do so may result in that course not being allowed to be used.

CourSES_TAKEN_AT_oThEr__INSTITuTIoNSIf a student chooses to take classes for credit toward their degree program at another institution, approval must be secured in advance of taking the course. The appropriate form to request approval may be secured from the registrar's office or their Athletics Academic Advisor. If approved, the credits will transfer, but the grades earned will not be calculated into the student's GPA. Classes taken at another institution may not be funded by the Towson University Department of Athletics.

The Academic Achievement Center (AAC), a comprehensive undergraduate academic learning center, serves the entire Towson Univer-sity student population with tutorial services, learning strategy workshops and academic coaching. The AAC has a Master level (3) tutor training program, certified through the College Reading and Learning Association (CRLA).

The Center provides tutoring services primarily in the lower-level behavioral and social sciences, English literature, business, foreign languages, physical, natural and computer sciences, math-ematics and music courses. Services are free to registered undergraduates and depend upon availability of a qualified tutor.

To promote retention and in-class success, AAC Learning Specialists provide individual and group strategy sessions to help students learn how to prepare study schedules, improve on their note taking skills as well as enhance their overall study skills and habits. Upon faculty request, AAC staff facilitates in-class academic strategy sessions.

Additionally, the AAC conducts placement testing for incoming students who earn a score below 500 on reading, writing and math sections of the SAT and below 21 on the ACT. These students are required to take the appropriate section(s) of the on-line Accuplacer examina-tion by the College Board. Score(s) from the Accuplacer will determine which course(s) a student must enroll in during the first semester at TU. For additional questions regarding Placement Testing, please go to www.towson.edu/placementtesting.

TuTorINg_SErvICESPeer tutoring support and strategic study skills are provided for Towson University undergradu-ates. Tutoring is available mainly in small group sessions, for most lower-division and a select number of upper-division courses. Students can request up to one hour of tutoring weekly per course.

STuDENT-AThlETE_SuPPorT_ProgrAMSIn addition to the aforementioned services, the Department of Athletics provides the following services to ensure the academic success of its student-athletes:

Student-Athlete_orientation_

The student-athlete orientation program is designed to inform new, incoming student-athletes about a variety of topics. Important information is also handled during this time including: placement exams, finalizing registration for the fall term, and university and specific college overviews. In addition, student-athletes will review NCAA and Depart-ment of Athletics policies and procedures and attend educational sessions designed to help them meet the challenges of college, life, academics and Division I Athletics.

Meetings_with_Assigned_Sport_Advisor

Individual meetings with student-athletes can assist with them with their time management and organizational skills. The students will be taught an overall organizational structure which includes: Note taking, Time management, Proactive planning, Learning strategies, Test taking skills, Personal responsibility, Student-athletes must meet with their assigned Athletics Academic Advisor before registering for classes, and/or dropping or adding a class.

Study_hall

The study hall program is designed to enhance the academic skills of Towson University’s first-year student-athletes to increase their ability to succeed in the classroom. The study hall program, required of all freshmen student-athletes and first term transfers, consists of six (6) hours per week in the first term of enrollment (hours could increase per coaches’ discretion). Each study session focuses on completing academic objectives. A report is given at the end of the week to each advisor and to the appropriate coaches.

laptop_loan_Program

When a team is traveling during their season, there are laptops available for the coach to check out to take on trips for student-athletes to use while on the road.

Course_Progress_Evaluations_(CPE)

The Department of Athletics requests that professors provide information relevant to the academic performance of student-athletes. CPE reports are requested for all student-athletes. The CPE’s are sent to the instructors on the 6th or 7th week of the term. Professors provide information relevant to student-athlete grades, class attendance, and effort. Coaches and the Athletics Academic Advisors use the CPE to track the student-athletes’ progress and direct them to appropriate academic support services.

Tutoring

The tutorial program assists the student-athlete in conjunction with several tutorial programs across campus designed to provide academic support to Towson University students. The goal of the tutorial program is to promote academic excellence, not merely to keep the student-athlete eligible. There are two ways for a student-athlete to receive or be assigned a tutor: their Athletics Academic Advisor can assign tutors to work with students or there are tutors available by request during Study Hall time. The tutorial coordinator completes all hiring, payroll and evaluation of tutors. The tutors are trained by the Academic Achieve-ment Center as well as the Tiger Academic Staff.

ChANgINg_A_SChEDulEAll changes in a student’s schedule of classes (adding or dropping a course or a change in sections, credits, or grading options) are valid only if a course schedule change form is on file with the Enrollment Services Center, Room 223. Students who do not complete the change form and turn it in by the deadline will not receive credit for classes attended, but not formally “added.” A grade of “F” or “FX” will be recorded in courses not formally “dropped.” The time frame to work within:

1. Adding a Class: Students may add classes to their schedule during the first week of classes each term.

2. Dropping a Class: Students may drop classes up to the deadline published on the Towson University Academic Calendar. (www.towson.edu/registrar/calendars)

SChEDulINg_PolICyEvery effort will be made to allow Towson University athletic teams to be competitive and allow students to succeed in the classroom. The athletics program follows sound scheduling poli-cies to allow for fair and adequate practice and competition for all of Towson’s athletic teams. Scheduling of competitions is developed to minimize interference with the student-athletes’ academics. Whenever possible, trips of any distance are scheduled over the weekends or during vacation periods. There is an attempt made to balance home and away events, and starting times will be determined to avoid conflicts with class schedules. Whenever possible, regular season events are not scheduled during the fall or spring exam periods. Student-athletes may not miss any scheduled class or academic requirements as a result of any non-traditional season competition or practice.

TrAvEl_PolICyWithintheBaltimoreMetropolitanarea,teamswith approved rosters greater than thirty, may travel by bus. Most all other teams will travel by van. All drivers of vans must pass a “Safe Driver” certification workshop. No more than ten passengers may be transported in any one van, and all passengers are required to use seat belts.

All teams are required to return to campus immediately after an event or tournament unless travel arrangements are made between the head coach and student-athlete. Individuals may be excused from team travel when the head coach gives approval and when traveling with parents.

Injured student-athletes who are unable to compete may not travel to away contests when travel includes an overnight or missed class time, unless he/she is legitimately fulfilling a supporting role.

Student-athletes are expected to notify their professors well in advance if they will need to leave a class early, or miss class due to a sched-uledathleticcontest.“VarsityTeamTravel”

forms can be obtained from your Head Coach or Athletics Academic Advisor.

ClASS_ABSENCES_For__AThlETIC_PArTICIPATIoNSome classes may be missed due to athletics competition. NCAA rules do not allow any student-athlete to miss a class for practice activities. Every attempt is made to keep missed classes to a minimum. It is the student-athlete’s responsibility to communicate with professors when a class must be missed.

1. Student-athletes must make themselves known to each professor at the beginning of the term. Each head coach will provide their team members with a listing of potential missed classes as early in each term as possible. After the first or second class meeting, student-athletes must provide their name, sport, and team schedule to each instructor.

2. The dates of known class/event conflicts must be provided to each professor at the begin-ning of the term, and any problems must be discussed at that time. When a class will be missed due to an athletic event, the student-athleteshouldgivetheirinstructorsa‘VarsityTeam Travel’ form. These forms are available from the head coach or an Athletics Academic Advisor. In addition, remind your professor of the arrangements you have made a few days prior to the event.

3. Arrangements for makeup exams and quizzes must be handled before traveling to an athletic event, not after returning from a trip.

4. Assignments or work to be made up must be determined before a scheduled missed class.

5. Missing class (for any other reason) is not acceptable.

6. In the event that an affiliated Conference or NCAA Championship occurs during final examination time, the student-athlete must contact the appropriate faculty member at least three weeks before the scheduled exami-nation or when the conflict is recognized.




The purpose of this meeting is to discuss rescheduling the exam. The examination date is determined by the faculty member in consultation with the student-athlete, and may be earlier or later than the original examination date.

Many instructors are supportive of competing student-athletes who must miss class. However, there are some instructors who are not as accepting of student-athletes missing class time. It is important for each student-athlete to meet with his/her instructors, as early in the term as possible in order to assess whether there is a problem. If a problem does arise, the NCAAFacultyAthleticsRepresentative(FAR)can intercede on behalf of the student-athlete whenanagreementcannotbereached.TheFARshould be contacted as soon as possible when a conflict arises. Student-athletes may jeopardize their participation in the Towson University athletics program by failing to comply with the above procedures.

DEPArTMENT_oF_AThlETICS_ATTENDANCE_PolICyTowson Athletics is one of the most visible departments of our University. It is a shared responsibility to make sure that Towson Athletics and the on average 500 student-athletes are great ambassadors of our University in the classroom and in their respective areas of compe-tition. The Towson University Department of Athletics is committed to the proposition that academic achievement is not, and should not be, a gift. Achieving academic success is a challenge that must be met by each Tiger student-athlete. Student-athletes may miss some classes as a result of travel and scheduled competition. These absences are anticipated and are gener-ally excused. However, unexcused absences are not acceptable as they are in conflict with the concept of “student-athlete.” This policy is intended to establish a department wide class attendance policy.

Further,itisTowsonAthleticspolicythatnomore than 12 class days may be missed per term due to competition. Any deviation from this rule must be approved by the Director of Athletics (AD)andtheFacultyAthleticRepresentative(FAR).TheTowsonUniversityDepartmentofAthletics expects student-athletes to attend all classes and expects student-athletes to be prompt and on time. TU student-athletes are expected to progress satisfactorily toward a degree from the University and to exhibit appropriate behavior in class and beyond.

As one way of trying to assist our student-athletes in achieving academic success, TU Athletics has adopted the following attendance policy with the understanding that each sport may endorse a more restrictive policy.

Campus_Safety

Towson University is a community of more than 20,000 people, essentially a small town. As in any other community, crime awareness is the beginning of crime prevention. You can take positive measures to prevent yourself from becoming a crime victim, such as reporting suspicious persons, locking doors, keeping your valuables in a safe place, not walking in areas that look unsafe or are not well lighted, utilizing the campus escort service, and being alert.

To report a crime or other campus emergency, call 410-704-2133 immediately.

The Towson University Police department maintains a website for students, faculty and staff, prospective students, and anyone visiting the campus. Visit: www.towson.edu/police. Some of the most notable areas of the site are:

• CRIMEALERT—Whenever a serious threat to the campus occurs, a new CRIME ALERT is posted to alert the community.

• CRIMELOG—A listing of all crimes and most inci-dent types in chronological order. Those call types omitted are considered of no value to the public.

• CRIMESTATISTICS—A breakdown of the past three years of selected crimes occurring on and around the campus.

• SEXOFFENSEREGISTRY—A link to the State of Maryland Sexual Offender Registry that includes a link to display information on all registered offenders attending or working at Institutions of Higher Educa-tion.

Towson University now has a state-of-the-art emergency notification system for its community that is capable of sending messages instantly and simultaneously to all registered text-message capable mobile phones, Blackberrys, wireless PDAs, pagers, smart or satellite phones, and email addresses. The service will also post these messages on the University’s Web site. Additionally, the messages will “pop up” on the computer screen for anyone using Google, Yahoo or AOL as their home page.

Students, faculty and staff are strongly encour-aged to register—it only takes a minute. This will be the surest way for you to receive noti-fications critical to your safety and well being, as well as other campus information you may want to opt-in to receive.

Please visit the University Police Department web page at www.towson.edu/adminfinance/facilities/police. Have your cell phone with you. The opt-in list of groups now includes (1) public safety/crime alerts; (2) campus closings; and (3) severe/dangerous weather alerts. (NOTE: Depending on your wireless service agreement, a nominal charge may be incurred for receiving text messages.)

Once you complete the validation part of registering your mobile phone, the next page will say, “You have successfully signed up”. You will see a “log in” button for your new account. To complete your registration, you must open your account and enter your email address, then click the ADD EMAIL button. You will instantly receive a verification email. You must open this email and click on the validation link. Then you’re all done!

Towson University has both interior and exte-rior emergency warning systems. External speakers have been placed at various locations

throughout the campus. In the event of an emergency both systems could be activated. The external system will broadcast both emergency alert tones and either recorded or live voice messages. The external system is not designed to penetrate the interior areas of buildings. The interior system is designed to notify you of an emergency when you are inside of campus buildings. Public address type speakers are or will be installed in campus buildings. Should you hear either the interior or exterior system being activated, you should pay attention to the message being provided to you. It will direct you to take emergency action specific to the emergency occurring at that time. Further information will be provided by text messages, on the main Towson University web page and by email notifications. We strongly recommend you register for emergency text alerts. Media releases will be made at the first opportunity.

Transfer_EligibilityIf you are a transfer student-athlete, you are immediately responsible for any applicable percentage of degree requirements, declaration of major/concentration, and full-time registration status in addition to the other basic transfer requirements.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your academic eligibility please contact your

Athletics Academic Advisor or the Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance Services at 410-704-3573.

good_Academic_StandingTo be academically eligible to compete in athletics, student-athletes must be in good academic standing in their respective school. To maintain good academic standing, students must possess a minimum cumulative Quality Point Average based on the number of earned hours (EHRS) or the number of quality hours (QHRS) attained, whichever is higher, as indicated by school’s Undergraduate Catalog.

It is important to note that student athletes on “warning” or “probation” are considered eligible for athletic competition as long as all other NCAA academic requirements are met. If a student-athlete is “suspended” from Towson University, he/she is not eligible for competition until the student-athlete is fully enrolled in a degree-seeking program of study and meets all NCAA eligibility requirements. A student-athlete seeking additional information on the academic standards of Towson University may refer to the individual depart-ment within the Undergraduate Catalog.

Full-Time_EnrollmentAll student-athletes must be enrolled at all times in a minimum of 12 hours towards their degree program in order to practice or compete. Exceptions to this rule include: the student-athlete is a senior who needs less than 12 credits to graduate at the end of the term, a graduate student enrolled full-time in a degree seeking program, or a student-athlete with a documented learning disability and granted a waiver from the NCAA. A student-athlete in less than 12 credit hours to graduate must receive written verification from their School’s advisement office. The Office of Compliance

Services will confirm the information with the certifying officer from that School.

Possible_Consequences_of_Dropping_Below_Twelve_Credit_hoursProgress toward graduation: Making timely progress toward graduation may be jeopardized by dropping below 12 credit hours.

Financial Aid: 12 credit hours per term are required to receive full federal and state funding.

Dean’s List: Students must complete 12 graded hours with a 3.5 GPA to be considered.

Residence Halls: Students must be registered for 12 credit hours to live in the residence halls.

International Students:StudentswithF-1andJ-1visasare required to maintain 12 credit hours.

Taxes: To qualify as dependents on their parents’ tax forms if they are over the age of 21, students must be registered in 12 credit hours.

Health Insurance: Students covered under their parents’ health insurance policies may be required to maintain registration in 12 credit hours.

Seasons_of_EligibilityStudent-athletes who are qualifiers are allowed four seasons of eligibility within five calendar years from the time they first enroll full-time in a collegiate insti-tution. When they participate in ANY competition in their sport (including a scrimmage with outside competition) whether it is for one minute or an entire contest, they have used a season of competition and one of their four years of eligibility. The only exception is during a student-athlete’s initial year of enrollment at the certifying institution when they participate in preseason exhibition contests or informal practice scrimmages. This exception is only available in the sports of basketball and soccer and ONLY with the approval of the Head Coach and Director of Athletics. Also,inVolleyball,Soccer,andFieldHockey,astudent-athlete who is eligible during the NCAA Championship segment may engage in outside competition during the non-Championship segment without using a season of competition.

Student-athletes should note that medical hardship waivers are not automatic; therefore, the student-athlete should consult with his/her Head Coach along with the Associate Director of Athletics for Sports Performance and Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance Services.

STuDENT-AThlETE_EMPloyMENTNCAA regulations require that the employment earn-ings of current student-athletes be monitored. At the beginning of the academic year, each student-athlete will be required to inform the Athletics Compliance Office whether he/she is employed or is planning to be employed during the academic year. Employment earnings are exempt provided the following provisions are met:

1. The student-athlete’s compensation does not include any remuneration for value or utility that the student-athlete may have for the employer because of the

publicity, reputation, fame, or personal following that he/she has obtained because of athletic ability.

2. The student-athlete is compensated only for work actually performed.

3. The student-athlete is compensated at a rate commen-surate with the going rate in that locality for similar services.

Student-athletes who either are or will be working MUST complete a Student-Athlete Employment State-ment with the Athletics Compliance Office.

Summer_Employment

Summer employment must also be monitored. Compli-ance meetings are held with each team at the end of academic year and before students leave for the summer. At this time, student-athletes are asked to complete a form indicating their summer employment plans. If plans change during the summer, it is important for the student-athlete to notify the Compliance Office at 410-704-3573. In addition, during the fall team meetings student-athletes are asked to complete a form indicating their summer employment.

The following rules must be followed with regard to summer employment (this includes camps/clinics):

• Youmaynotreceivepayforworkyoudonot actually perform.

• Wagesreceivedmustnotexceedwhatistypicalor that which a regular employee would receive.

• Youmaynotreceivecompensationbasedon athletic ability.

Fee-For-lesson_Instruction

A student-athlete may receive compensation for teaching or coaching sport skills or techniques in his/her sport on a fee-for-lesson basis, provided:

1. Institutional facilities are not used.2. Playing lessons shall not be permitted.3. Towson obtains and keeps on file documentation

of the recipient of the lesson(s) and the fee for the lesson(s) provided any time of the year.

STuDENT-AThlETE_BENEFITSComplimentary Admissions—According to NCAA regulations, all eligible student-athletes whose events require paid admission (i.e., basketball, football and gymnastics) are allowed a MAXIMUM of four (4) complimentary admissions (six for NCAA Champion-ship games) per event in their respective sports.

Allocation of Complimentary Admissions —Student-athletes may designate any four individuals on their ticket request list; however, they are advised to know the person directly. Complimentary away admissions are given to eligible members on the official travel roster for each event based on the number of complimentary tickets provided by the host (most likely less than four tickets).

Procedure for Obtaining Complimentary Admissions—To request complimentary admissions, student athletes in sports which require paid admission to events must log into www.TicketTaker.net/towson and indicate the individuals who are to receive complimentary admissions. Do not use nicknames since the name and spelling on the pass list must match the name on the recipient’s photo I.D.

Information for Your Guests—Those persons receiving the complimentary admissions are admitted via a pass list (photo identification and signature required) and actual tickets are not provided. They will be asked to sign next to their name on the Team Complimentary Admission Request form. The designated gate will open one hour prior to the game and remain open until the beginning of the second half. Please remind your guests that they are guests of the University and should conduct themselves in an appropriate manner.

Student-athletes may not receive payment for compli-mentary admissions nor exchange them for any item of value. Violation of this NCAA requirement will jeopardize the student-athlete’s eligibility to compete. In the event of a postseason competition, the Depart-ment of Athletics reserves the right to determine complimentary ticket distribution within guidelines established by the Conference and the NCAA.

NCAA_Special_Assistance_Fund

TheSpecialAssistanceFundassistsstudent-athleteswho are Pell eligible, international, or are receiving an athletics award and have unmet financial need. The six types of expenses for which student-athletes may receive funding include:

1. Cost of clothing and other essential expenses(not entertainment) up to $500.2. Purchase of expendable academic course supplies (i.e.,

notebooks, pens) and cost of rental of nonexpendable supplies (e.g. computer equipment and cameras) that are required of all students enrolled in a class.

3. Hearing aids or vision therapy (e.g., contact lenses, eyeglasses).

4. Off-campus psychological counseling.5. Medical and dental costs not covered by another

insurance program (e.g. premiums for optional medical insurance, hearing aid, vision therapy and off-campus psychological counseling).

6. Costs associated with student-athlete or family emergencies.

Student athletes are not guaranteed to receive this funding. These are permissible uses of the fund; however the distribution for each allowable item is dependent upon a variety of factors that vary annually. The Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance Services is responsible for the coordi-nation of this program with the Conference Office. The Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance Services will notify coaches of those student-athletes eligible for the fund and the amount that they are eligible to receive. Detailed instructions will be provided on how to complete necessary paperwork. Failuretoaccuratelycompleteallinstructionsinatimely manner may result in loss of the ability to utilize this fund.

In addition to awareness of the threat gambling and bribery pose to the integrity of intercol-legiate sports, student-athletes are responsible for the following:

1. Reporting any offers of gifts, money or favors in exchange for supplying team information or for attempting to alter the outcome of any contest;

2. Maintaining a clear understanding of what constitutes as gambling and bribery activities and reporting any suspected infractions;

3. Contacting the coach or other Department of Athletics personnel (e.g., Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance Services, Sports Communications staff) when questions concerning the inappropriate release of team information occurs; and

NCAA_PArTICIPATIoN_rEgulATIoNS

The NCAA has carefully defined the playing season regulation by which all student-athletes and teams must abide. This includes practice, competition, conditioning, strength training, and practice and playing oriented meetings. The purpose is to have all teams compete by the same guidelines while helping student-athletes balance both athletic and academic commitments.

Teams are allowed a maximum number of consecutive days of required practice per year which is considered “in-season.” This varies by sport. The start and end dates are determined by the NCAA and Towson University on an annual basis. During this time, teams may participate in athletically related activities, which do not exceed 4 hours per day and 20 hours per week. [Competitions are automatically considered to be 3 hours/day.] In addition, there must be

one day off per week from all athletic activities. However, if a team is traveling, the day off may be the day of travel as long as there is no physical activity or athletic meeting held. [During vaca-tion periods and outside of the regular academic terms (e.g. preseason) the time limitations and day off requirements do not apply.]

Once a team is in its “out-of-season”, there may be conditioning and strength activities up to 8 hours per week. However, countable athletically related activities are prohibited two days per week. In addition, two of the eight hours may be spent on individualized skill instruction with no limit on the number of student-athletes and coaches involved from September 15th – April 15th. Prior to September 15th and after April 15th there is a limit of up to four student-athletes and any number of coaches who may participate in 2 hours of skill instruction.

On the day of competition, there may be no practice activities (other than warm-down activities) conducted following the competition. The only exception is between contests, rounds or events during a multi-day or multi-event competition.

As a general rule once a student-athlete becomes a member of a collegiate team, he/she may not compete on any outside team. However, student-athletes may compete on an outside amateur team outside of their sports declared season and during official University vacation periods (e.g., summer). Student-athletes are required to provide both their head coach and the Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance Services information on any team and/or individual competition that they may wish to participate in at any time of the year.

Student-athletes in the sport of basketball may only participate on an NCAA sanctioned summer league during June, July and August. No more than 2 student-athletes can be on the same team and approval must be given by the Director of Athletics. Student-athletes in the sports of soccer, and volleyball may compete on an outside amateur team only after May 1 as long as:


63NCAA Compliance

1. The number of student-athletes from Towson University does not exceed 5 in soccer or 2 in volleyball;

2. The Director of Athletics has approved the competition (in consultation with the head coach); and

3. There is no missed class time for practice or competition.

Since the median of each institution’s freshman class academic profile far exceeds the NCAA minimum standards for freshman eligibility, if a recruited nonqualifier enrolls at a member insti-tution directly from high school, the individual will not be eligible to represent the institution in a CAA sport. The institution, through its chief executive officer, may appeal in instances of special circumstances for relief from this legislation. [Adopted: May 1994]

_TrANSFEr_PolICyThe decision to transfer from Towson University to another institution is a matter that requires verycarefulthought.BelowisasummaryofNCAA rules which will help you better under-stand the consequences of such a decision.

1. Before you may begin to discuss possibilities with a new school, your potential future school must first receive written permission from the Towson University Department of Athletics.First,informyourcoachofyourinterest in going elsewhere. It is important for you to understand that if you or your parents make contact with the new school, they are obligated to let Towson’s Department of Athletics know. The new school must receive written permission from our department in order to have further discussions with you.

2. Requesting a release implies you are volun-tarily withdrawing from your respective team and you may be required to forfeit any athletic scholarship dollars you are receiving.

3. NCAA regulations require that you “sit out” at the new institution for one academic year prior to participating in athletics unless you meet the requirements of a specific transfer exception.

4. A student-athlete may receive an exception to-the-one-year residency requirement under certain circumstances. Therefore, you may be

immediately eligible if all of the conditions listed below are met:

a. You participate in a sport other than basketball, football or baseball;

b. It is your first transfer from one four-year college to another;

c. You are in good academic standing and would be academically eligible if you returned to your initial institution; and

d. Towson certifies in writing that there is no objection to granting an exception to the one-year residency requirement. If you have received athletics aid at Towson University, you must present a 2.6 GPA or higher in order for Towson to grant an exception to the residency requirement upon transfer.

5. If you are not granted permission to discuss transfer possibilities with the new school, or receive the one-time transfer exception to the residency requirement, you may request a hearing with an institutional committee outside the Department of Athletics. A letter will be provided to you from the Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance Services with information on how to request an appeal withTowson’sFacultyAthleticsRepresenta-tive who oversees this committee. The same process will apply if Towson University denies you the opportunity to utilize the one time transfer exception.

6. If you signed a National Letter-of-Intent, you must attend Towson University for one full academic year. Transferring mid-year has a two-year penalty requiring residence at the transfer university.

7. In order to be eligible to receive athletics aid at a new institution, you must be academically eligible for competition at Towson University and present a cumulative GPA of 2.6 or higher.

In all transfer cases, it is vital that you become familiar with the ramifications of your activities before you take action. Consult the Assistant Director of Athletics for Compliance Services for more information.

Pre-Matriculation: The CAA Intraconference Transfer Rule applies to an incoming student-athlete that has signed a valid National Letter of Intent (NLI) with a CAA institution. A prospective student-athlete who signs a valid NLI with a CAA institution but subsequently enrolls at a different CAA institution must fulfill two academic years of residence prior to being certified eligible to compete.

Post-Matriculation: The CAA Intraconference Transfer Rule applies to a student-athlete in a conference sport that has ever been the recipient of athletically-related financial aid at a CAA institution. If the student-athlete decides to transfer within the conference he/she must fulfill two academic years of residence prior to being certified eligible to compete at the second CAA institution.

rECruITMENT

hosting_Prospective_Student-Athletes

Current student-athletes are an information resource about the campus and athletic program; therefore, they have an important role in recruiting. To ensure fairness, the NCAA carefully defines the conditions under which prospective student-athletes may be recruited by Towson University. It is essential that student-athletes serving as hosts carefully adhere to the rules. The following is a guide to selected basic NCAA rules for student-athletes asked to be a student host or to participate in the recruit-ment of prospective student-athletes.

A “prospect” is a student in the ninth grade or above, including an individual who is currently enrolled in a junior college or who has officially withdrawn from a four-year school. An institution may not arrange or permit more than one expense-paid visit per prospect regardless of the number of sports in which the prospect participates.

There are two types of visits a prospect can take to a campus—unofficial or official. An unofficial visit to Towson’s campus is made at the prospect’s expense. The provision of any expenses beyond complimentary admissions to campus athletic event will require the visit to become designated as an official visit.

An official visit by a prospect to a campus is a visit that is financed (in any part) by Towson. The official visit may be taken after the opening day of the prospect’s senior year in high school. A prospect may visit Towson for a maximum of 48 hours and be provided lodging and meals like regular students. Entertainment for prospects and their parents (or legal guardians) or their spouse may be provided as long as it is not excessive in nature and takes place within a 30 mile radius of campus. It is not permissible to entertain other relatives or friends of the prospect at anytime. It is not permissible for Towson to provide cash directly to the prospect for entertainment purposes. Thus, the student host will be provided with entertainment funds if the coach decides to provide such funds.

FINANCIAl_AID_PolICyTowson University is not in a position to provide the maximum amount of athletics grants-in-aid for all spon-sored sports. Thus, coaches are encouraged to maximize the use of all institutional fund sources for scholarships and grants. The Department of Athletics will provide as much assistance as possible in the education of coaches, student-athletes, and parents so that advantage is taken of all opportunities to receive institutional aid. At the present time, much of the student-athlete population is funded with a combination of athletic, academic, and institutional grants, and federal loans.

Every attempt is made to assist eligible students who demonstrateneedandcompletetheFreeApplicationforFederalAid(FAFSA)bytheprioritydeadlineofMarch 1. However, limited funds make it impossible for the university to meet the full need of all eligible students with grants. Thus, financial aid is awarded on a first come first serve basis. The “need” of a student is the difference between the “cost of education” and the amountoffamilycontribution.This“ExpectedFamilyContribution” is determined by the U.S. Department of EducationontheFAFSA.Becauseafamily’sfinancialstatus changes from year to year, all students who seek assistance must reapply each year, preferably electroni-cally at www.fafsa.ed.gov before March 1.

Receiving additional funds from any source not reported on the original application may result in an adjustment or reduction in aid offered from the university. If a student-athlete financial aid recipient receives aid in excess of his/her financial need, that student-athlete may be required to repay financial aid funds already disbursed.

The priority deadline of March 1 is the date by which youmusthaveavalidExpectedFamilyContribution(EFC)fromtheU.S.DepartmentofEducation.We offer aid first to all students whose applications meet the March 1 deadline. Applications received after the priority deadline are processed on a rolling basis. Becauseweworkwithlimitedfundsinthecampus-based federal and university programs, all of the campus-based funds will go to eligible students who meet the priority deadline.

Students who receive financial aid must already be formally admitted to the university as degree candidates and must carry at least six credits per term. Recipients must make satisfactory progress toward a degree and must meet the university standards for academic good standing. If a student withdraws from Towson Univer-sity, their financial aid award may be prorated based on the number of days the student attended during the term before reaching the 60% point of the term.

Athletics_grant-In-Aid_Philosophy

In a continuing effort to attract top quality student-athletes to Towson University, athletics grants-in-aid are awarded upon the Head Coach’s recommendation throughtheFinancialAidOffice.Thenumberofgrantsavailable is determined on a yearly basis. Each Head Coach is responsible for deciding whom to offer athletics grants-in-aid to and for what amount. Renewals are contingent upon continued participation in the sport, compliance with all applicable rules and regulations, and the recommendation of the Head Coach.

reduction/Cancellation_of__Athletics_grants-In-Aid

Student-athletes on an athletics grant-in-aid have an additional responsibility to the Department of Athletics. An athletics grant-in-aid may be reduced or canceled during the period of the award (academic year) due to substantiated negative personal conduct, academic/NCAA ineligibility, or voluntary withdrawal from the team. When an athletics grant-in-aid is reduced or canceled, the student-athlete has the ability to appeal thedecisioninwritingtotheFinancialAidOffice,ifhe/she feels that the reasons are questionable or unfair. The student-athlete must do this within 21 days from the date they are notified of reduction or cancellation ofaid.TheappealishandledbytheFinancialAidGrievance Committee.

Fifth_year_grant-In-Aid

It is the general policy of the Department of Athletics to not continue an athletics grant-in-aid after a student-athlete’s eligibility is exhausted. However, an athletics grant-in-aid award after a student-athlete’s eligibility is exhausted may be considered on an individual basis. The Head Coach and Sport Administrator may make an exception bearing in mind NCAA regulations, funding sources and any other pertinent information. If a student-athlete is offered a fifth year grant-in-aid, he/she will be expected to contribute to the program in a manner agreed upon by the Head Coach, Sport Administrator,andstudent-athlete.Failuretoagreeonan appropriate contribution to the program will result in the student-athlete not receiving the aid.

Summer_School/Minimester

It is the general policy of the Department of Athletics not to pay for student-athletes to take classes during the summer or minimester session. However, an athletics grant-in-aid award for summer school or minimester may be considered on individual basis considering all NCAA regulations and funding sources.

Failed_Classes_and_Classes_in__Which_an_FX_is_received

The Department of Athletics reserves the right to deny payment for classes in which a student athlete receives a failing grade. We also reserve the right to deny payment forclassesinwhichanFXisawarded.

Medical_Disqualification

A medical disqualification occurs when a current student-athlete becomes injured or ill to the point that the player apparently never again will be able to participate in intercollegiate athletics. The Towson Sports Performance staff, in consultation with team physicians, will be responsible for determining if a student athlete’s injury or illness warrants a medical disqualification. If the sports medicine staff decides that a student is medically disqualified, the student-athlete is not able to participate in any varsity sports for the remainder of their five-year clock.


73

Student-athletes who are receiving athletic aid, but are deemed medically disqualified, may continue to receive aid at the discretion of the Director of Athletics. Athletic aid may be renewed up through the fourth year of colle-giate enrollment; however, the student-athlete will be a part of the same annual renewal process as with all other student-athletes who receive athletic aid. One half of the scholar-ship will be paid through the team scholarship budget and one half of the scholarship will bepaidthroughtheStudentAssistanceFund.

Non_Participant_receiving_Athletics_Aid

A Towson University’s Department of Athletics will not provide athletics aid to any student athlete who is not actively involved with the Department of Athletics.

In the event that a student athlete will no longer be participating in a competitive manner on an athletic team in which athletic aid has been awarded, the student athlete will be required to continue to serve that team in all pre-season, in-season, and post-season activities. The student-athlete will meet with the head coach and sport administrator to determine the nature of the service and the number of

hourstoberequiredeachsemester.Failureto complete the work assignment will result in a violation of the financial aid agreement and cancellation of the athletically related aid.

If a student athlete has not violated the conditions of his/her financial aid agreement, but no longer wishes to be involved with a specific program as a result of the coach, or athletic department staff member, limiting or eliminating that student athlete’s ability to participate in a competitive manner, the student athlete may serve the Department of Athletics in place of the team from which athletics aid is being provided. The student athlete is responsible to continue service for each semester that he/she receives aid. The student-athlete will meet with the Director of Athletics to determine the nature of the service and the number of hours required eachsemester.Failuretocompletetheworkassignment will result in a cancellation of the athletically related aid.

Furthermore,studentathleteswhoarenotcompetitive participants remain subject to all NCAA, CAA, and Towson University regulations and their athletics aid is subject to the renewal procedure that is in place for all student athletes.

The student-athlete must complete a Health InsuranceInformation/AuthorizationFormandsupplya photocopy (front & back) of the health insurance card on a yearly basis.

Towson University Athletics provides a medical and catastrophic insurance program for its student-athletes. THIS POLICY, HOWEVER, IS SECONDARY TO, OR IN EXCESS OF, PERSONAL MEDICAL INSUR-ANCE COVERAGE, and covers only injuries / illnesses / accidents resulting from the direct participation in the athletics program during the dates of the primary competitive season and designated off-seasons as approved by the Director of Athletics according to NCAA regulations.

156_Week_limitation_on__Secondary_Insurance_Coverage

Towson University’s medical and catastrophic insur-ance program will pay for the excess of the “Necessary” medical treatment up to the “Usual” and “Customary” charges for such expense incurred within 156 weeks (3 years) from the initial date of the injury / illness / accident. The first expense must be incurred within sixty calendar days of the date of the injury / accident. It is the responsibility of the Towson University athletic trainer supervising the sport to keep track of the 156 week time period and notify the Assistant Director of Athletics for Sports Performance and/or his designee of any cases approaching the 156 week limitation.

Compliance_with_Insurance__Company_requests

It is the student-athlete’s and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) responsibility to understand the conditions that apply to their policy and comply with any requests for information, etc. from the primary insurance company. Any delinquent bills resulting in bad credit due to non-compli-ance with insurance company requests may be the responsibility of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s) / guardian(s).

In the event that a student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s) / guardian(s) receives payment / reimbursement directly from their insurance company for athletically related injury / illness claims, the full account balance becomes the responsibility of the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s) / guardian(s), until payment is turned over to the provider.

hMos

If a student-athlete’s primary insurance is an HMO, the Towson University Sports Medicine staff strongly encourages the student-athlete and/or his/her parent(s)/ guardian(s) to change the primary care physician (PCP) to a Towson University Team Physician or local physician to obtain a “guesting privilege” in the Towson, MD area. This will allow the student-athlete to have a network of physicians in the Towson area, as well as better access to care. A member of the Towson University Sports Medicine staff can assist in this process.

Insurance_Policy_Changes

87Drug Intervention Program

DEPArTMENT_oF_AThlETICS_Drug_INTErvENTIoN_ProgrAM

A. Program Philosophy. Towson University seeks to maintain an environment that supports and encour-ages the pursuit of knowledge without interference from the effects of drug and alcohol abuse. The improper use of drugs has become a matter of deep concern within our society; many lives are damaged, and in some cases destroyed, by drug abuse. TU is determined to help all students and employees avoid the hazards associated with drug abuse through its established policies on drug abuse that apply to all members of the academic community; however, this program is specifically designed for the members of our intercollegiate athletics teams. It is based on the premise that drug abuse is not conducive to the welfare of our student-athletes.

Many drugs, when used in connection with athletic activities can pose serious risks to the health of the student-athlete and may endanger others in contact with the drug user. Symptoms of illness, temporary or permanent injury, and even death can be caused by such drug abuse. Use of certain drugs may tempo-rarily improve some types of athletic performance and thereby create an unfair competitive advantage for the person using them. Such use of drugs violates the basic principles of sportsmanship.

Student-athletes often become highly publicized role models and their abuse of drugs can negatively influence young people, as well as damage the reputation of the institution. Therefore, TU does not condone the abuse of drugs while participating in intercollegiate athletics. To become and remain a participant, a person must comply with the terms of this program on drug abuse education, screening, and counseling.

B.Program Purposes. The purposes of this drug intervention program which includes education, screening, counseling and sanctions, are (1) to help student-athletes avoid improper involvement with drugs by ensuring that they are well informed about drugs and drug abuse; (2) to detect possible prohibited drug use through a screening program based on testing designed to reveal the abuse of drugs; (3) to assist in the counseling and rehabilitation of student-athletes found to be misusing drugs; and (4) finally, to disassociate from our athletics programs any person who is found to be engaged in improper use of drugs who does not respond to rehabilitation efforts.

C. Program Consent. All student-athletes are required to read these requirements carefully, abide by them, and sign the consent form (Appendix A). IF STUDENT-ATHLETES DECIDE NOT TO COMPLY THEN THEY ARE CHOOSING NOT TO BE PERMITTED TO PARTICIPATE IN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS.

D. Program Education Component. Every member of an athletic team is required to successfully complete an orientation to this program and view the NCAA DrugTestingVideoonanannualbasis.EveryTUstudent-athlete will attend or engage in at least one continuing education activity per year through the Life Skills Program. The intent of this continuing education is to increase the student-athlete's aware-ness in order to prevent involvement with drugs, as well as to recognize and handle drug and alcohol relatedproblems.Variouseducationalapproacheswill emphasize the deleterious effects of drugs on athletic performance as well as on other aspects of life. Each member of every athletics team shall be required to participate in prescribed drug education activities.


88 Drug Intervention Program

E. Prohibited Drugs. Some of the drugs about which we are concerned are illegal; while, some may be purchased lawfully “over the counter” in retail stores, however all such drugs are incompatible with the integrity of our athletics programs. A student, during the period of eligibility to partici-pate in athletics, may not use the drugs specified intheNCAABanned-DrugClassesList,acopyofwhich appears at the end of this section. However, if an otherwise prohibited drug is being used at the prescription of a physician, the patient may continue to participate in athletics if:

1. With respect to possible risks to the health of the patient, the attending physician certifies in writing that specified athletic activity may be safely undertaken and the patient executes a prescribed wavier which relieves TU of any responsibility for illness or injury attributable to engagement in athletic activity while under the influence of the prescribed medication; and

2. With respect to possible performance enhancing effects, the patient's attending physician, in consultation with University medical and athletic authorities, can and does implement a schedule of medication that precludes such performance-enhancing effects during times relevant to athletic competition.

F. Program Description. The basic test to be used for drug screening is a urinalysis. However, other types of tests may be utilized to determine the presence of drugslistedintheNCAABanned-DrugClassesList.The testing based on urinalysis will be implemented as follows:

1. Mandatory Screening: Student-athletes will be selected for testing by random selection. This test can occur during the traditional and/or nontradi-tional season for the respective sport.

2. Individualized Reasonable Suspicion Screening: Any student-athlete suspected of drug use and identified by the Assistant Director of Athletics for Sports Performance may be subject to testing at any time during the academic year.

3. Positive Test Follow-up Screening: Any student-athlete who has tested positive on a previous date may be subject to required testing at any time as deemed appropriate by the Assistant Director of Athletics for Sports Performance.

G. Selection and Notification Process: As the program coordinator, the Assistant Director of Athletics for Sports Performance will, in accordance with this policy, randomly determine the dates and times for urinalysis collection. All student-athletes will be subject to selection according to the following criteria:

1. Random Selection: All student-athletes on the offi-cial sport participation list are eligible for selection. A third party administrator will choose those to be tested via random, computerized selection.

2. Individualized Reasonable Suspicion Selection: A student-athlete, student-athletes, or a team may be subject to testing at any time when, in the judg-ment of the program supervisor, reasonable cause exists to suspect the student (s) is (are) engaging in the use of any drugs prohibited by this policy. Such reasonable suspicion may be based on information from any source deemed reliable by the supervisor, including, but not limited to: observed possession or use of substances that reasonably appear to be drugs of the type prohibited; student conduct issues, arrest, or conviction for a criminal offense related to the possession, use or trafficking of drugs of the type prohibited; observed abnormal appear-ance, conduct or behavior, including unusual patterns of absence from training or competition, reasonably interpretable as being caused by the use of prohibited drugs, low specific gravity and/or creatinine concentration levels found in previous urine specimens.

Reasonable suspicion means: “If the available facts were conveyed to a reasonable person unfamiliar with the student or the athletics program, that person would conclude that there is a factual basis for determining that the student(s) is (are) using a prohibited drug.”

If reasonable suspicion is found to exist, the coor-dinator will meet with the student-athlete(s). At that meeting, the coordinator will provide written notice (Appendix C) specifying the date, time, and



place at which the student will be tested. The test will be conducted in accordance with the provi-sions of Section H. The consequences of failure to participate in or cooperate with such testing and the consequences of impermissible drug use discovered through such testing shall be the same asthosedescribedinSectionJandKofthispolicy.

Should the student decide to voluntarily declare drug use prior to testing, he/she will be subject to the consequences of impermissible drug use describedinSectionK.Thelevelofinterventionshall be commensurate with the level of disregard for the policy.

3. Positive-Testing Follow-up Selection: The coor-dinator will maintain a confidential list of all student-athletes who test positive to banned drug use during their eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletics. The coordinator may at his/her discretion choose to test such individuals at any future testing date scheduled. A prior positive-test finding as a result of this policy implementation is cause for reasonable suspicion as defined in Section G. 1. C.

4. Self Selection: At any time throughout an academic year a student-athlete may voluntarily declare drug use and thereby fall under the consequences describedinSectionKofthispolicy.

5. Notification: The procedure for notification of student-athletes selected shall be as follows:

Each student will be asked to sign a notification form(AppendixB)issuedbythecoordinatorminutes prior to within 24 hours of a scheduled test. Such notification shall be accomplished by delivery to the affected student of a written statement listing the student as one who is to be tested on the date specified. If in-person notifica-tion is not possible, telephone notification will be permissible as long as the coordinator or designee receives an acknowledgement from the student-athlete as to the notification. The notification shall also include the time the student was notified. The student-athlete is to report to the testing site at the specified time. The student-athlete will remain at the test site until a sample is collected.

H. Screening Process. Collection and analysis is performed by a contracted third-party profes-sional collection and laboratory service. During administration of the drug screening process, the administrative area will be secured and only autho-rized personnel as well as properly identified athletes (per G.2.a.) will be admitted to the site. The specimen collection area will be secured by the collection team who will supervise each athlete during the collection process. Transfer of collected specimens from the test site to the analysis laboratory is accomplished by the collection team according to an accepted chain of custody protocol. Posi-tive tests are confirmed by gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry to prevent false positive tests. Collection will be accomplished according to the following process:

1. Only those persons authorized by the client representative and certified collector will be allowed in the collection room. The certified collector and client representative will deter-mine the release of a selected student-athlete from the collection room prior to completing the specimen collection process.

2. Upon arrival, student-athlete will provide photo identification and/or a client representative will identify the student-athlete. The student-athlete will then print his/her name and arrival time ontheRosterSign-InForm.

3. The student-athlete will select a Custody & ControlForm(CCF)fromasupplyofsuchand work with collector and client representa-tive to complete necessary information before proceeding with the specimen collection process.

4. The student-athlete will select a specimen collection beaker from a supply of such and will be escorted by a collector (same gender) to the restroom to provide a specimen. The student-athlete will place a unique barcode onto the beaker. And then rinse his/her hands with water and then dry hands.

5. The collector will directly observe the furnishing of the urine specimen to assure the integrity of the specimen.



6. The student-athlete will be responsible for keeping the collection beaker closed and controlled.

7. Fluidsandfoodgiventostudent-athleteswho have difficulty voiding must be from sealed containers (approved by the collector) that are opened and consumed in the station. These items must be free of any other banned substances.

8. If the specimen is incomplete, the student-athlete must remain in the collection station until the sample is completed. During this period, the student-athlete is responsible for keeping the collection beaker closed and controlled.

9. If the specimen is incomplete and the student-athlete must leave the collection station for a reason approved by the certified collector and client representative, specimen must be discarded.

10. Upon return to the collection room, the student-athlete will begin the collection procedure again.

11. Once an adequate volume specimen is provided; the collector will escort the student-student-athlete to the specimen processing table.

12. The specimen collector will instruct the student-athlete to closely observe the specimen processing steps and will then measure the specific gravity.

13. If the urine has a specific gravity below 1.005, novaluewillberecordedontheCCFandthespecimen will be discarded by the student-athlete with the collector observing. The student-athlete must remain in the collection station until another specimen is provided. The student-athlete will provide another specimen.

14. If the urine is concentrated (1.005 SG or higher), the specimen processor will record thespecificgravityvalueontheCCFandthenmeasure the urine’s pH If in range (4.5-7.5 inclusive), the specimen processor will record thepHvalueontheCCFintheappropriatearea. If the student-athlete has a pH greater than 7.5 or less than 4.5, the specimen will be discarded by the student-athlete with the collector observing. The student-athlete must

remain in the collection station until another specimen is provided. The student-athlete will provide another specimen.

15. Once the specimen processor has determined the specimen has a specific gravity above 1.005 and a pH between 4.5 and 7.5 inclusive, the sample will be processed and sent to the labora-tory.

16. If the laboratory determines that a student-athlete’s sample is inadequate for analysis, at the client’s discretion, another sample may be collected.

17. If a student-athlete is suspected of manipulating specimens (e.g., via dilution, substitution), the collector will collect another specimen from the student-athlete.

18. Once a specimen has been provided that meets the on-site specific gravity and pH parameters, the student-athlete will select a sample collec-tion kit from a supply of such.

19. The specimen processor will open the kit, demonstrate to the student-athlete the vials are securely sealed, open the plastic, and open the A vial lid. The processor will pour the urine intotheAandBvialsandclosethelids.Thespecimen processor should pour urine into vials above the minimum volume level (35 mL in A vial;15mLinBvial)andpourasmuchurineas possible into vials using care not to exceed the maximum levels (90 mL in A vial; 60 mL inBvial).

20. The specimen processor will securely close the lids on each vial and then seal each vial using thevialsealsattachedtotheCCF;assuringseals are tightly adhered to the vials with no tears or loose areas.

21. The specimen processor must then collect all necessary signatures (collector, donor, witness, and collector/specimen processor) and dates/timeswhereindicatedontheCCF.

22. The specimen processor will place the labora-torycopyoftheCCFinthebackpouchoftheplastic bag and the vials the front pouch of the same bag. The bag should then be sealed. The sealed bag with vials will then be placed in the sample box. The box will then be sealed.



23. The student-athlete is then released by the collector.

24. All sealed samples will be secured in a ship-ping case. The collector will prepare the case for forwarding. When two split samples are collected and packaged, care must be taken to assure one sample is placed in the shipping container for shipment to the “drugs of abuse” laboratory and one sample is placed in the ship-ping container for shipment to the “anabolic steroids” laboratory.

25. After the collection has been completed, the samples will be forwarded to the laboratory and copies of any forms forwarded to the designated persons.

26. The samples become the property of the client. 27. If the student-athlete does not comply with the

collection process, the collector will notify the clientrepresentativeandDrugFreeSport.

I. Notification of Results. The coordinator receives results and correlate numbers with screened student-athletes. The Director of Athletics will be notified by the coordinator of individuals testing positive for banned drugs or who have low specific gravity and/ or creatinine concentration levels. The director will notify authorized medical and athletic personnel for appropriate action according to this policy. Parents willbenotifiedaccordingtoSectionKofthispolicy.

J. Consequences of Failure to Participate.

1. If the student declines to execute the required individual notification form, eligibility to partici-pate in intercollegiate athletics will be canceled for the balance of the academic year. The procedures prescribed in Section L apply to such a cancellation.

2. If the student fails to appear at the designated time and place for testing without a verified excuse acceptable to the Coordinator, or designee, eligibility to participate in intercolle-giate athletics will be canceled for the balance of the academic year, subject to the procedures prescribed in Section L.

3. If the student fails to produce a required and eligible urine specimen, eligibility to participate

in intercollegiate athletics will be suspended for a period of one week or until the student produces the required specimen under condi-tions prescribed by the test site coordinator, whichever is the lesser period of time. The period of suspension may be extended indefinitely upon failure to produce the required specimen on subsequently rescheduled testing dates. The procedures prescribed in Section L apply to any suspension exceeding one week.

K.Consequences of Impermissible Drug Use. When prohibited drug use has been verified through positive test results, the following consequences will apply:

1. First Offense:

a. Suspension from Athletics Participation. A confidential meeting between the student-athlete, coordinator, Head Coach, and Sport Adminis-trator will be held as soon as possible to evaluate the nature and extent of drug involvement. In this meeting, the student-athlete will be notified of:• Suspensionfor10percentofthecontests

scheduled during the competitive season. Partial numbers in the calculation of 10 percent shall be rounded to the nearest whole number.

• TheDirectorofAthletics,inconsultationwiththe Head Coach, will determine whether an athletics grant-in-aid allocated to the student-athlete should be cancelled or reduced.

• His/Herrightstoappeal• Anystudent-athletewithapositivedrug

screening is not eligible for any athletic depart-ment awards.

b. Notification of parents. The TU Department of Athletics recognizes the increased involvement of parents of student-athletes and will, therefore, notify parents of any such cancellation of eligi-bility. Parents will be notified of the impermissible drug use.

c. Counseling, rehabilitation, and behavior modi-fication contract. The student will be required to seek a substance abuse and behavioral assess-ment from established University counseling



and/or medical resources. The interpretation and subsequent recommendations for treatment and rehabilitation resulting from this assessment shall be made available to the coordinator. Any expenses incurred as the result of the assessment and all treatment and rehabilitation will be paid for by the student. The coordinator will prescribe a behavior modification contract based on the recommendationsofthisassessment.Violationsof the conditions of this behavior modification contract shall be deemed non-compliance with this drug intervention program.

2. Second Offense:

a. Suspension from Athletics Participation. A confidential meeting between the student-athlete, coordinator, Director of Athletics, Head Coach, and Sport Administrator will be held as soon as possible to evaluate the nature and extent of drug involvement. In this meeting, the student-athlete will be notified of:

• Permanentsuspensionfromathleticsparticipa-tion

• Anyexistingathleticsgrant-in-aidmaybewithdrawn at the discretion of the Director of Athletics

• Non-renewalofANYathleticGrant-in-Aid• His/Herrightstoappeal

b. Notification of parents. The TU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics recognizes the increased involvement of parents of student-athletes and will, therefore, notify parents of any such cancellation of eligibility.

ALL TEST RESULTS are cumulative during the ENTIRE TIME that an individual is a student-athlete at Towson University. A positive NCAA drug test will be deemed a positive Towson University drug test.

Safe_harbor_Provision

A student-athlete who has engaged in drug use is encour-aged to seek assistance from the Athletics Department by voluntarily disclosing his/her use to the Assistant Director of Athletics for Sports Performance prior to be being identified as having violated the drug policy or being notified that he/she has been selected for Drug Testing. This provision allows a student-athlete to self-report a substance abuse problem without repercussions of a positive test, thereby exempting him/her from the next scheduled drug test. These individuals will still be required to undergo an evaluation by a substance abuse counselor. The counselor will determine the appropriate form(s) of intervention and rehabilitation needed by the student-athlete based on the circumstances of the case. The counselor will report back to the Assistant Director of Athletics for Sports Performance that the individual has undergone the required sessions. Upon completion of the required sessions, the student-athlete will subse-quently be drug tested to demonstrate compliance with the Towson University Athletic Drug Intervention Policy. If at any time following the completion of successful counseling the student-athlete tests positive, this positive result will constitute a second positive thus nullifying the initial safe harbor exemption. Additionally, this provision will only be available to student-athletes one time and will NOT be available to a student-athlete after he/she has been notified of an impending drug test.

Medical_Exceptions

Student-athletes are required to inform the athletic training staff of all medications being taken. Some banned substances can be used at times for legitimate medical reasons. Accordingly, Towson University and the NCAA permit exceptions to be made for those student-athletes with a documented medical condition demonstrating a need for regular use of such a substance.

The Medical Exception policy has a very strict applica-tion. The Exception Policy specifically addresses the use of banned stimulant medications to treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) as well as anabolic agents, beta blockers, diuretics, anti-estrogens, and peptide hormones. A student-athlete who tests positive will need to comply with this more exacting application, even if that student-athlete had received an



exception for the use of stimulant medication prior to August 2009.

This thorough application for an exception will require documentation that demonstrates the student-athlete has undergone a clinical assessment to diagnose a medical condition, such as ADHD, is being monitored routinely for use of the banned drug and has a current prescription on file. All these criteria must be met in order to be granted a testing excep-tion. This documentation will be kept on file at the institution and must be produced in the event the student-athlete tests positive for the banned medication. The documentation should include a comprehensive clinical evalu-ation, recording observations and results from ADHD rating scales, a physical exam and any lab work, previous treatment for ADHD, and the diagnosis and recommended treatment. The physician can provide documentation of the above either with a cover letter and attach-ments or provide the medical record. This documentation should be kept on file in the athletics department until such time that the student-athlete tests positive for the stimulant. A simple statement from the prescribing physician that he or she is treating the student-athlete for ADHD with said medication IS NOT adequate

documentation.

L. Procedures for Imposing Serious Sanctions. SectionsJandKofthispolicyprovidenoticeof circumstances under which suspension or cancellation of eligibility to participate in intercollegiate athletic activities may be imposed. Such sanctions may be imposed only in accordance with the procedures here prescribed:

1. Written Notice. Beforeanysuspensionorcancellation is imposed, the student will be given written notice by the coordinator of the intention to suspend or cancel eligibility, of the reasons for the proposed action and of the right of the affected student to request a hearing on the proposed sanc-tion before it is imposed. However, if the proposed sanction is based on a prelimi-nary determination of improper drug use that may threaten the health of the athlete or of other participants in athletics, athletic participation (training, practice or competition) shall be discontinued imme-diately, pending a medical determination by a TU Team Physician as to the fitness of the athlete to resume participation in athletics. This determination, designed to protect the health of students, shall be

_



made as promptly as possible. Informa-tion supplied by the student to medical personnel incidental to making such a determination shall not be admissible in any institutional disciplinary process and shall be treated as confidential, within the context of the doctor-patient relationship. As soon as a preliminary determination is made concerning the athlete's health and fitness, the Assistant Director of Athletics for Sports Performance will notify the head coach of these facts. This notification will be confidential and will be made verbally.

2. Request of Hearing or Waiver of Hearing. A student may obtain a hearing by addressing a request in writing to Towson's NCAAFacultyAthleticsRepresentativewithin three calendar days after receiving the written notice referred to in paragraph 1, above. However, following receipt of written notice, the student may signify in writing the intention not to request a hearing, and the proposed sanctions may be immediately imposed, without recourse to any institutional grievance or appeals process.

3. Hearing. If an affected student requests a hearing, it shall be afforded before a standing committee consisting of three personsappointedbytheFacultyAthleticsRepresentative; no officer, employee, or agent of the athletic department shall be eligible to serve on such a committee. The hearing shall be convened within five days after it is requested. The hearing shall be conducted in private and only the FacultyAthleticsRepresentative,membersof the committee, the affected student and a person of his/her choice, and the coordinator or designee may attend except for witnesses who are present to give testimony. The coordinator or designate shall present evidence in support of the

proposed suspension or cancellation. The affected student, accompanied by a person of his/her choice, may be present to hear and review all evidence presented in support of the proposed sanction, to challenge such evidence, and to present other evidence in his/her own defense. The burden shall be on the coordinator or designee to prove, by a preponder-ance of the evidence, impermissible drug use in fact occurred. After hearing all such evidence, as it deems relevant, the committee shall deliberate in private for the purpose of making findings of fact. The findings and conclusions shall be based exclusively on information supplied at the hearing. Within three days after it concludes its inquiry, the committee shall report its conclusions concerning the facts, as well as any advice concerning the severity of the sanctions proposed, totheFacultyAthleticsRepresentativewho shall decide what sanctions, if any, shall be imposed. The decision of the committee is final.

M. Confidentiality of Information Concerning Drug Use. Any information concerning a student's alleged or confirmed improper use of drugs, solicited or received pursuant to implementation of this policy, shall be restricted to institutional personnel and to parents of student-athletes. No other release of such information will be made without the student's written consent, unless it is in response to the appropriate judicial process. The institution cannot guarantee that law enforcement or prosecuting authorities will not gain access to information in the possession of the institution, since valid subpoena or other enabling court order might be issued to compel disclosure. The institution, however, will not voluntarily disclose such information, in the absence of a court order.



N. Improper Provision of Drugs by University Personnel. No officer, employee or agent of TU may supply to any student-athlete any drug that may endanger an athlete or affect athletic ability or performance, or otherwise encourage or induce any student to abuse drugs, except as specific drugs may be prescribed by qualified medical personnel for the treatment of individual students. Any person who has information about possible violation of this prohibition should report such information promptly to the Director of Athletics.

O. University Approval. The General Counsel at Towson University has approved the foregoing drug intervention program.

P. Drug Testing Consent. Each athlete should read this statement of policy and ask any questions concerning it before giving consent to be tested.

101Eating Disorder Intervention Policy

Background

Issues surrounding nutrition, weight gain and loss, eating disorders, and athletic per-formance are becoming more complex as the prevalence of disordered eating and clinical eating disorders is as much a part of athletic medicine as orthopedic injuries. The Towson University Department of Athletics (Athletics) is keenly aware of the ability of coaches, teammates, parents, professors, and athletic trainers to observe possible problems in the development of a student-athlete’s eating issues.

Symptoms of eating disorders include: rapid weight loss, exercise obsession, social withdrawal, obsession with weight, diet, and/or appearance, a consistent pattern of stress fractures or overuse injuries, avoidance of social eating situations, variable performance, and eating binges and disappearance after the binge.

Athletics recognizes the seriousness of eating disorder management and is sensitive to these issues in regards to the welfare of our student-athletes.

Policy

The purpose of the Towson University Athletics Eating Disorder Intervention Policy is to:

• Preventthedevelopmentofeatingdis-orders in our student-athlete population through the education of our student-athletes and coaches,

• Provideamechanismofidentifyingand/orscreening potential eating disorders,

• Establish a protocol to treat, follow-up, and communicate with coaches and admin-istrators about any potential cases, and

• Utilize a multidisciplinary approach inthe recognition and treatment of eating disorders. The multidisciplinary team may consist of a staff athletic trainer, primary care team physician, and the Eating Concerns Consultation Team (ECCT) established by the TU Counseling Center. The ECCT will include consultation with a a mental health care professional in the Towson University Counseling Center, and a dietician, if deemed appropriate by the ECCT.

Any student-athlete, teammate, coach, professor, or athletic trainer who identifies patterns of disordered eating in a student-athlete should report this observation to the staff athletic trainer overseeing the student-athlete’s sport or Team Physician in TU Sports Medicine. The staff athletic trainer will, based on the evidence presented, information collected from other individuals, and/or direct discussion with the student-athlete, refer the student-athlete to the primary care team physician for initial screening and evaluation. Common behaviors of eating disorders may include:

• Restrictionoffoodintake• Rapidweightloss• Purging• ExcessiveExercise


102 Eating Disorder Intervention Policy

Procedure

1. A student-athlete, coach, teammate, pro-fessor, or athletic trainer who identifies signs and symptoms of disordered eating shall report these observations to the staff athletic trainer assigned to that sport.

2. The staff athletic trainer will, based on the evidence presented, information collected from other individuals, and/or direct discussion with the student-athlete, refer the student-athlete to the primary care team physician for formal evaluation.

3. The primary care team physician will evaluate the student-athlete as soon as possible. This evaluation may include a health history, physical exam, and lab work or additional testing at the discretion of the physician. The primary care team physician will communicate back to the athletic trainer any limitations on athletic participation.

A. If an acute or serious concern about the student-athlete’s physical or psychological health exists, the student-athlete will be sent for immediate evaluation to a provider or hospital off campus. The student-athlete may be transported by TUPD if necessary. High risk medical symptoms include:

i. Seizures ii. Bloodinvomitorstool iii. Chest pains iv. Cognitive impairment

B.Ifnoacuteorseriousconcernexists, the primary care team physician will communicate this to the team athletic trainer who will refer the student-athlete to the TU Counseling Center for an initial evaluation by:

i. Contacting the Coordinator of Eating Disorder Services

ii. Having the student-athlete execute a “Joint Sports Medicine/ECCT Release of Information with Sports Medicine” form (Appendix A).

iii.Forwarding any labs or additionalreports and the signed Release of Information to the Coordinator of Eating Disorder Services

4. The student-athlete will schedule an intake appointment with the Counseling Center as soon as possible.

5. The ECCT will evaluate the student-athlete and make recommendations based on reports, Counseling Center protocol, and the Practice Guidelines for the Treat- ment of Patients with Eating Disorders (American Psychiatric Association, 2006).

6. ABehaviorModificationPlan, includingpsychological treatment, nutrition coun-seling, medical monitoring and follow up, expected communication as to attendance at scheduled appointments, poten-tial restrictions to athletic participation, and consequences of non-compliance will be executed by the TU Sports Medicine team in consultation with the primary care team physician and ECCT.

7. Once a student-athlete has an established Behavior Modification Plan, the student-athlete is responsible for providing all documentation of compliance, treatment verification, and release from care documentationasdetailedintheBehaviorModification Plan. The student-athlete may be referred to the Associate VicePresident of Student Affairs if additional intervention is required.


103Towson University Substance Abuse and Education

ToWSoN_uNIvErSITy_AlCohol_AND_Drug_PolICyTowson University, recognizing that drug and alcohol abuse presents a serious threat to individual health and community safety, strives to maintain a campus free from the illegal use and abuse of alcohol, and the use, possession or distribution of illegal drugs. Students are expected to comply with all federal, state and local laws, and university policies. Students who use, possess and/or sell illegal drugs, including the illegal use of alcohol, are considered in violation of Towson University’s Code of Student Conduct and shall be subject

to university discipline independent of any criminal or civil prosecution that may result from violations of state or federal laws. In addition to the university policy on substance abuse, all employees, including student employees, are subject to the Maryland Governor’s Executive Order 01.01.1991.16 on the Drug-and-Alcohol-Free Workplace. The university reserves the right to conduct drug testing consistent with applicable federal and state laws. Students are strongly encouraged to help create a campus com-munity free from the negative effects of substance use and alcohol abuse.


104 Towson University Substance Abuse and Education

AlCohol,_ToBACCo_ANDoThEr_Drug_ABuSE_PrEvENTIoN_CENTErKnowing that the campus is a complex commu-nity that influences the behavior of students, the center has established the motto, “Creating an Environment Conducive to Academic Success and Wellness.” When students arrive on campus, they bring with them their psychological dispositions through which they understand the campus community. The interaction of the individual in the community is powerful in determining all sorts of student behav-iors, including those relating to the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs (ATOD). Towson University has used a comprehensive, campus-wide program to reduce the risk associated with substance use and abuse. The University is host to the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drug Abuse (ATOD) Prevention Center, which is funded by the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Administration of the state of Maryland. In exis-tence since 1990, the central goal of the center is to reduce risk-taking behaviors associated with the use of alcohol, tobacco and other drugs. The staff of the center assesses the risk-taking behavior of incoming freshmen and every other year, the risk-taking behavior of a representative sample of the campus. The ATOD Center spon-sors and assists in the organization of various types of prevention and education activities (e.g., alcohol free social events, alcohol aware-ness activities, peer education training, etc.) developed by different units of the institution, such as Campus Life, Residence Life, Health and Counseling Centers, Academic Advising and University Police.

The goals of the center are:

• ProvideATODeducationandpreventionprograms.

• Sponsorpeereducation/counselingpro-grams.

• MaintaintherelationshipwithcountyATOD prevention coordinator.

• Developanetworkforcommunicatingandplanning prevention activities with other institutions of higher education.

• Develop a student network in highereducation addressing ATOD issues.

• Conductsocialmarketingcampaigns.

The comprehensive, campus-wide cam-paign to provide Towson University students with information and skills necessary to achieve healthy academic and personal growth,

“Creating a Campus Environment Conducive to Academic Suc-cess and ellness,” includes personnel from Academic Advising, Athletics, University Police, the College of Health Professions, the Department of Health Science, and Student Affairs. Dr. Donna Cox, Depart- ment of Health Science directs the activities of the center. She can be reached at 410-704-4214 or [email protected].

Alcohol.edu is an online educational module (seeFreshman“TODOLIST”).All incoming student-athletes are expected to complete this program.


105Smoke-Free Campus

uNIvErSITy_SMoKE-FrEECAMPuS_PolICy

Towson University is committed to promot- ing a healthy and safe environment for students, faculty, staff, and visitors. In that regard, Towson University instituted a

“Smoke Free” campus policy as of 08/01/2010.

Smoking is prohibited on all property owned, leased or operated by Towson University. This consists of all buildings, including residence halls, Bateman’s and the Burkshire; all grounds, including exterior open spaces, parking lots and garages, on-campus sidewalks, streets, driveways, stadiums, recrea-tional spaces and practice facilities; and in all University-owned or leased vehicles.

This policy was written and approved by the President's Council on November 9, 2009.

NCAA Tobacco Policy : The use of tobacco products by a student-athlete is prohibited during practice and competition. A student- athlete who uses tobacco products during a practice or competition shall be disqualified for the remainder of that practice or competition.(Bylaw17.1.8)


106 Athletics Media Relations

PrESS_rElATIoNS_ForSTuDENT-AThlETESThe Towson University Athletics Media Relations Office, located on the 3rd floor, Room 351, of the Towson Center, serves as the communication link between Towson University athletic teams, student-athletes, coaches and administrators AND the media. The office generates media coverage of the Tigers by coordinating interviews, servicing the information needs of the press, and compiling and maintaining statistics, photographs and historical records. All inquiries relative to Towson University athletic team information are to be directed to the Media Relations Office.

One of the responsibilities of a Towson University student-athlete is to cooperate with the media. The student-athlete should view this obligation as a chance to promote the team, the individual, the sport, the Department and Towson University.

Media attention means that the student-athlete’s conduct, both on AND off the field or court, is under intense scrutiny because of the position of simply being a student-athlete. The last thing a student-athlete wants to receive is publicity for an off-the-field incident. The student-athlete must ALWAYS remember that off-the-field actions are viewed by the media as relevant news, while a non-athlete’s activities may not be viewed in the same manner.

If there is any topic which a student-athlete would prefer not to discuss with the media, that information should be disclosed to the coach and/or Media Relations Director before the season. Remember, win or lose, Towson University student-athletes have an obligation to meet the press after a contest and to do so with humility and poise.

The following guidelines are offered to insure a positive, successful interview experience with a member of the media:

1. COORDINATING THE INTERVIEW— The Media Relations Office coordinates all your interviews involving both the print and electronic media. The Media Rela- tions staff members are the primary contact concerning the media. Interviews are arranged around your academic and ath-letic schedules.

2 TIMING—Be prompt and available forinterviews. Contact the Media Relations Office (410-704-2232) in advance if you cannot keep the scheduled interview appointment. If you agree to an interview, be there. If you’re not on time, you’ll get the interview off on the wrong foot.

3 FRIENDLY—Always be friendly with reporters and make an effort to give them fresh material about yourself.

4 THINK—Think carefully about what you are going to say before you say it. Keep inmind there is no such thing asan “off the record,” remark. Discuss only those things, which you and your family would not mind seeing in print, or hearing on radio or television. Sam Donaldson, ABC News reporter, put itbest, “The questions don’t do the damage. Only answers do.”

5 TEAM PLAYER—Handle the interview as a team player—in the best interests of the team. Never second-guess your teammates or coaches. Deliver a positive message no matter the circumstances. Don’t be arrogant and cocky when you win. When you lose, don’t criticize others.

6 BE CAREFUL—You don’t want your comments put up on an opponent’s locker room bulletin board. Avoid bulletin board material answers. Don’t let the interviewer put words in your mouth.

7. OFF-THE-RECORD—In the real world, there is no such thing. There is no guarantee of confidentiality.


107Athletics Media Relations

8. POSITIVE—Always be positive and give due credit when answering questions about coaches, Towson University, opponents, teammates, and yourself. Don’t make excuses.

9. PRIVACY—Respect your privacy and theprivacyofyourteammates.Keepallphone numbers to yourself and direct all personal questions about your teammates to them or the Media Relations Staff. If a member of the media contacts you directly, please inform your coach and/or a member of the Media Relations staff as soon as possible.

10. POISE, RESTRAINT—Understand the value of poise and restraint, especially under highly emotional conditions such as a big victory or a heartbreaking loss. Take your time, giving careful thought to each question. There’s nothing wrong with taking time to think about your answer before responding or to have the questionrepeated. Bepolite indifficultsituations. You’ll win friends and influence people.

11. IMAGE—Always project a good image by having a neat appearance when doing television interviews. Make the most of the opportunity to showcase yourself and Towson University. Look at the interviewer, not the camera. If the television or radio interview isn’t live, don’t hesitate to stop and ask if you can repeat your answer. Smile. It goes a long way.

12. HOW TO ANSWER—You can answer a question from a reporter in one of three ways:

a. Directly and immediately (yes or no),

b. After taking time to think,

c. Not at all (if the question is negative, bridge to a positive answer). Provide short, concise answers. Short and simple answers are the easiest to quote. They are least likely to be mis- quoted or taken out of context.

13. EXAMPLE–How to field a negative question: Question: “Do you think you should get more playing time?” Answer:

“Sure. Every player would like to play more, and I think my coach would be disappointed in me if I didn’t want to play more. I’m sure I’ll get my opportunity, and when I do, I want to be ready.”

14. DON’T—Don’t say “No comment”. Don’t be negative. Don’t go off-the- record. Don’t hide. Don’t lose your cool. Don’t be sarcastic. Don’t cop an attitude (nice guys may finish last on the field but they’re definitely winners off the field). Don’t forget the fishbowl syndrome. All of your actions are being watched.

15.HAVE FUN—It’s an honor to be inter-viewed by the media. Enjoy it. Most members of the media are good people and they are on your side. So, try to have fun with it.

SoCIAl_NETWorKINg_AND__ThE_STuDENT-AThlETEAll Towson University coaches, staff, and student-athletes should be aware that the Department of Athletics monitors and will continue to monitor all online social networks (i.e.,Facebook,TwitterandMySpace)forcontent involving Towson student-athletes that is deemed inappropriate.

Inappropriate_Content:_

• Postingphotos,videos,commentsorpostersshowing the personal use of alcohol, tobacco, eg., no holding cups, cans, shot glasses.

• Postingphotos,videos,andcommentsthatare of a sexual nature. This includes links to websites of a pornographic nature and other inappropriate material.

• Postingpictures,videos,commentsorpostersthat condone drug related activity. This includes but is not limited to images that portray the personal use of marijuana, and drug paraphernalia.


108 Athletics Media Relations

• Usinginappropriateoroffensivelanguageinallcomments, videos and other postings. This includes threats of violence and derogatory comments against race and/or gender.

Over the past several years, universities and athletics departments have developed and implemented policies designed to educate student-athletes about the risks associated with the use of online social networks sites and to monitor activity on those sites.

Numerous student-athletes have engaged in behavior via these websites, which they believe to be harmless. Unfortunately this lack of good judgment has resulted in serious consequences such as the loss of scholar-ships, playing time, and the opportunity to participate in his or her sport.

• TwoLSUswimmerswereremovedfromtheteamaftermaking disparaging comments about their coaches onFacebook.

ACADEMIC_DEvEloPMENTThe Department of Athletics is committed to graduating student-athletes at a rate equal to or higher than the University average within a four to six year period. Academic advising, academic support, and academic success programs are offered through the University and supplemented by the Department of Athletics. Learning strategies and skills are developed through programs that may address learning styles, time management, organization, note and test taking skills, and other areas that promote academic success.

Information is disseminated through meetings with athletics academic advisors and academic staff, group presentations, tutoring and peer mentoring. Students with documented special needs are encouraged to register with the Office of Disability Support Services and take advan-tage of the helpful accommodations that they can provide.

AThlETIC_DEvEloPMENTStudent-athletes are encouraged to fully utilize the facilities, coaching staff, sports performance staff and support services that will assist them in reaching their full potential athletically. Total Tiger Life Skills programs also assist student-athletes to develop leadership skills such as team building, motivation, conflict resolution, and

“slump busting”. Communication, cooperation, discipline, perseverance, respect for the strengths and weaknesses of others, sportsmanship, fair play and integrity are transferable skills that are developed through sports participation that will benefit student-athletes for a lifetime.

PErSoNAl_DEvEloPMENTThrough a variety of educational programs throughout the year, student-athletes are given opportunities to identify their funda-mental values, enhance communication skills, and develop decision-making skills that will enable them to manage their own personal development and well being. Our goal is to expose student-athletes to infor-

mation and experiences that will broaden and enrich their collegiate experience, help them make good choices, and prepare them for life beyond Towson. We challenge them to think for themselves and examine their beliefs and values in a safe environment. Alcohol use and abuse, the dangers of drugs and perfor-mance-enhancing supplements, risky behaviors, AIDS, date rape, proper nutrition and eating disorders, celebrating diversity, gambling, and depression are just a few of the topics covered in a variety of programs relating to student welfare that are made available to students. Some programs are required for student-athletes and their attendance is expected. Student-athletes, who miss required seminars without permission from their coach, may jeopardize their eligibility.

CArEEr_DEvEloPMENTWe are committed to assisting student-athletes in the process of career development. Workshops and seminars are offered to assist student-athletes in choosing a major, resume writing, developing interviewing skills, and exploring career paths. Internship and job fairs are held at the University both terms, and student-athletes are encouraged to attend. The Career Center, located at 7800 York Road, is available to assist students in identifying potential career paths, internships, and job possibilities. Alumni also stand willing to assist student-athletes in their job search and have returned to campus to conduct workshops, participate in networking sessions, inform student- athletes of internships and job openings, and share their experiences.

CoMMuNITy_SErvICEStudent-athletes are challenged and encouraged to give back to communities and individuals who are in need. Through community service initiatives planned by teams, the Student-Athlete Advisory Council - PAWS (Proud Athletes Who Serve), and the University Office of Student Activities, our student-athletes are given the opportunity to develop the foundation for a life-long commitment of service and volunteerism.

Visitinghospitalsandschools,blooddrives,assisting with the Senior and Special Olympic Programs, participating in charity runs such as “Race for the Cure”, collecting personal care items and clothing for the needy, book, t-shirt and stuffed animal drives, campus and stream clean-ups, assisting with Move-in Days, and sport skills clinics are just a few examples of community outreach activities sponsored by our teams in the past. Involvement in these programs by teams and individuals not only benefits the community, but also serves to develop team bonding, leadership skills, posi-tive relationships between the University and the community, and the wonderful feeling of having made a difference.

P.A.W.S.All Tiger sports teams and the cheerleaders select representatives to serve on the student-Athlete Advisory Council. The student representatives have chosen to recognize the board as P.A.W.S., “Proud Athletes Who Serve.”

The Student-Athlete Advisory Council was developed for the following purposes:

1. To streamline and promote efficient and effective communication between the Department of Athletics administration and the student-athlete population;

2. To design and implement programs that encourage academic achievement, health promotion, social responsibility and general life skills awareness;

3. To actively encourage more student-athlete involvement in campus and community outreach programs; and

4. To promote “togetherness” and support for all varsity teams by encouraging attendance at the athletic competitions of fellow student-athletes.

Student-athlete representatives are elected by their teams or appointed by the Head Coach. Repre- sentatives have considerable autonomy with regard to the direction they wish to take the organization.

The Student-Athlete Advisory Council representatives promote interaction of fellow student-athletes, and are committed to becoming a positive force on the Towson University campus and in the community. Monthly meetings are open to all student-athletes. Interested persons should contact their respective coach or team representatives.

114 Sport Supervision and Exit Interviews

SPorT_SuPErvISorSEach team is assigned a Sport Supervisor, which is an athletics administrator who works closely with the specific sport coaches and team . These individuals are available to guide student-athletes to appropriate resources and to discuss any concerns or problems that may arise that cannot be managed successfully within the team situation. The Sport Supervisor meets with each team at the beginning of the season to review the Student-Athlete Handbook/Planner and address any questions students might have as the academic year begins. Throughout the year, the Sport Supervisors work closely with the coaches, are available to support their teams, and will travel with the team to away from home contests. At the end of the year, the Sport Supervisor will review a “Program Evaluation” completed by student-athletes. These evaluative tools (along with the exit interviews which are coordinatedbytheNCAAFacultyAthleticsRepresentative) provide important feedback on various aspects of the sports program and services provided to student-athletes. Please feel free to contact your Sports Supervisor or Dr.GailGasparich—NCAAFacultyAthleticsRepresentative ([email protected]) if you have any concerns or would like to set up a time to talk.

EXIT_INTErvIEWSJust as there is a process for becoming a student-athlete, there is a process for leaving a sports team. When student-athletes have completed their eligibility or leave the team for any reason, they are asked to complete an on-line exit interview which, may be supplemented with an in-person exit interview with the Sport Supervisor responsible for supervising that team, the Director of Athletics, or a member of the IntercollegiateAthleticsCommittee.Feedbackisrequested concerning all aspects of the student-athlete experience from selecting their college and major, effectiveness of orientation and advising, level of satisfaction with their courses and instructors, their athletic experiences and support services that were made available to them, to the preparation they received to face life after college. This information is valuable in helping to evaluate programs and services in an effort to best meet the needs of our student-athletes. Constructive feedback is always welcome, and student-athletes need not wait until the end of their season, academic year or athletics career to offer suggestions or express concerns.
