Responsibilities of Student Athletes

The University at Albany Department of Athletics provides our student-athletes with a National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I athletics program that fully supports the educational mission of the University. The Department also upholds the NCAA and America East Conference principles of ethical conduct and sportsmanship.   In doing so, UAlbany student-athletes are afforded the opportunity to build positive character traits associated with leadership through their diversity of experiences on the playing field, in the classroom, and in the community. Being a student-athlete at the University at Albany is a privilege and so it is the student-athlete’s responsibility to abide by UAlbany’s student standards of conduct when representing themselves, their team, and the University. Student-athletes are also bound by NCAA and America East codes of conduct and can face eligibility penalties over infractions regarding policies pertaining to sportsmanship, ethical conduct, honesty, academic integrity, gambling, drug use, and hazing, among others.
