Compliance Policy & Procedures Manual CLAYTON STATE Compliance Policy & Procedures Manual CLAYTON STATE UNIVERSITY Department of Intercollegiate Athletics 2 | Page Manual Overview This manual is to serve as a rules compliance guide for employees of the Clayton State University (CSU) Athletics Department. Additionally, other non-athletic department employees of Clayton State University and any representative of the institution’s athletics interests (boosters) may find portions of the manual useful. Specifically, it is to assist these individuals in achieving compliance with National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Peach Belt Conference (PBC), and Clayton State University (CSU) regulations. Not only does the manual describe policies and procedures, it also identifies the supporting documentation that must be maintained related to these compliance efforts. This manual is intended to be used only as a supplement to the NCAA Manual, the CSU Manual and official institutional publications. It should not be used as a replacement for these publications. There is no attempt to cover every regulation by these authorities in this manual, only to provide a summary of important selected items. Should you have questions regarding information in this manual, or concerning the official rule publications, please contact the Compliance Office. In that regard, the operating policy is to always ask before acting should there be any uncertainty regarding application of the rules. This manual is to serve as an orientation tool and reference guide for new employees, however, all CSU employees and athletic department liaisons from other campus offices are accountable for complete knowledge with its content. 3 | Page 4 | Page Table of Contents Manual Overview ...................................................................................................................................... 3 Table of Contents .................................................................................................................................... 5-7 CSU Compliance Policy Statement .......................................................................................................... 9 Institutional Control…….……………………………………………………………………...10 Individual Compliance Responsibilities……………………………………….…………..10-16 Resources .................................................................................................................................................. 17 Recruiting Information ...................................................................................................................... 19-36 1.
