department of athletics policies & procedures - UNC Wilmington ...

If team rules and policies state more stringent consequences than the departmental policy,
these may apply. If a student-athlete does not comply with the policy, the Director of
Athletics will make the decision concerning a student-athlete’s athletic participation. Each
situation is reviewed individually and a decision will be rendered. Same consequences may
not apply in every situation. The Director of Athletics will have final authority to make
participation decisions except in cases when the student-athlete requests a hearing. In an
appeal case, the hearing committee will have the final decision.

Per NCAA regulations, the use of tobacco products is prohibited by all game personnel (e.g.,
coaches, trainers, managers and game officials) in all sports during practice and competition.
Athletic staff must comply with this policy as noncompliance may result in suspension or
employment termination. A student-athlete who uses tobacco products during a practice or
competition shall be disqualified for the remainder of that practice or competition.
XV. STRENGTH TRAINING FACILITY
Hours of Operation
Schedules of strength training facility use will be posted at the beginning of each
semester/summer session on the facility doors. The schedule will be organized on an
equitable basis for each team by the Head Strength and Conditioning Coach and approved by
the Assistant Athletic Director for Facilities. Each athletic team has a reserved time allocated
for its use only. During this time a member of the strength and conditioning staff will
supervise the workout. Also, hours are posted for physical education classes and “open”
hours for faculty/staff use. Student-athletes must adhere to the schedule to maintain proper
use of the facility. Any student-athlete who uses the facility during “open” hours will be
supervised by a member of the strength and conditioning staff.

must adhere to the following guidelines:
• Shirts must be worn at all times. No sports bras. Cut-off and sleeveless shirts are
permissible.
