Green Bay Athletics Department

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 6 ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Green Bay athletics is to provide opportunities for student-athletes to compete for League championships and national recognition while serving as a vehicle for university and community pride and engagement. Student-athletes will succeed academically and athletically, and will learn valuable life lessons that will enable them to be leaders in their future communities.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT VISION STATEMENT

The vision of Green Bay athletics is to perennially challenge for conference championships and to be nationally recognized for the development of student-athletes academically, athletically and in the community.

INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETICS COMMITTEE

The Intercollegiate Athletics Committee (IAC) is a group comprised of four faculty, two academic staff, one student (non-athlete), one community representative, and the Faculty Athletics Representative. The committee is advisory to the Director of Athletics and serves as a strong faculty voice in determining major policy directions of the Athletics Program. The IAC represents the faculty in making recommendations on all aspects of, and policies concerning, intercollegiate athletics.

In the event a student-athlete would request a hearing for an appeal in regards to the Athletics Department's policy or decision-making actions, the IAC Chair would make arrangements for the Committee to conduct a hearing, review the student-athlete's request, and render a final decision on the appeal.

CONTACTING ADMINISTRATION

The process for contacting administration will be as follows:

If at any point in time there is a concern, comment, or questions you may have, your first step is to address it with your coach. If you do not feel comfortable addressing the coach alone, you should then contact Kassie Batchelor in Athletics. The Athletic Department takes every initiative to ensure the conversation is first had between the student-athlete and the coach prior to moving forward. If not possible, Kassie and the student- athlete will handle the issue in the appropriate manner as determined by both the student-athlete and the Athletic Department. If at any point in time the Athletic Director needs to get involved, Kassie will invite the Athletic Director into the conversation. No student-athlete is to meet the Athletic Director without following the steps above and without a coach or Kassie present.

We will speak with student-athletes, but Green Bay Athletics will have limited parent contact as collegiate student-athletes are adults and per HIPPA and FERPTA regulations, the Athletic Department cannot share information with parents or guardians without the student-athlete filling out the appropriate forms with the Dean of Students Office. Prior to any parent/admin conversation, appropriate forms will need to be filled out through the Dean of Students Office. Upon receiving confirmation of the forms being filled out, then parent/admin conversations can be had.

We are here to be your biggest resource, but the steps above must be followed to ensure an orderly environment for the staff and the student-athlete.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 9 UW-GREEN BAY CONDUCT POLICIES

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 10 UW-GREEN BAY CODE OF CONDUCT

The UW-Green Bay Dean of Students Office website contains important information for all students including student policies, complaint and grievance procedures, and the disciplinary process. Please go to the website for this information (www.uwgb.edu/deanofstudents/). Here are some of the most important elements of the UW-Green Bay conduct policies:

Academic Misconduct

Academic honesty and integrity are fundamental to the mission of higher education, the university of Wisconsin system and University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. Students are responsible for the honest completion and representation of their work, for the appropriate citation of sources, and for respect of others’ academic endeavors. It is imperative that your academic career be free from academic misconduct. This may include but is not limited to cheating, plagiarizing, fabricating information, or facilitating acts of academic dishonesty by others.

The integrity of every grade given to each student has an impact on all students. As academic programs and future employers place more emphasis on a student’s GPA, earning a good grade becomes more important. Some students are tempted to engage in dishonest and unethical behavior to get their grades, rather than earn them. Students need to understand that disciplinary sanctions will be imposed on any student involved in academic misconduct. Those sanctions range from reprimand to expulsion.

Civility and Tolerance

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay is a multicultural community of people from diverse racial, ethnic, and class backgrounds, national origins, religious and political beliefs, sexual orientations, and physical abilities. Campus activities, programs, classes, lectures, etc. and everyday interactions are enriched by our acceptance of one another as we strive to learn from each other in an atmosphere of positive engagement and mutual respect.

As adults, we are responsible for our behavior and are fully accountable for our actions. We each must take responsibility for our awareness of racism, sexism, ageism, xenophobia, homophobia, and other forms of oppression.

Bigotry will not go unchallenged on this campus. No one has the right to denigrate another human being on the basis of race, sex, sexual orientation, national origin, etc. Verbal or written abuse, threats, harassment, intimidation, or violence against person or property will not be tolerated. In this context, alcohol or substance abuse will not be accepted as an excuse, reason, or rationale for such abuse, harassment, intimidation, or violence. Ignorance or "it was just a joke" is also not an excuse for such behaviors. Discriminatory, harassing or intimidating behaviors will be subject to the University’s disciplinary processes.

All who work, live, study, and teach in the UW-Green Bay community are here by choice and as part of that choice should be committed to these principles of civility and tolerance which are an integral part of UW-Green Bay’s Guiding Principles.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 11 Hazing While it is important to build unity and strengthen membership, hazing is an inappropriate way to do so. It is the policy of the University that hazing does not contribute to the positive development and welfare of any individual or group. University students, faculty, and staff are all a part of the Anti-Hazing Policy.

The simple fact is that hazing is an antiquated view of developing a strong organization. And, in the basest form, it is illegal by state law.

The University of Wisconsin-Green Bay will not tolerate nor condone any form of hazing. Violations of this policy will be dealt with by the Office of Student Life, and then, if necessary, by the Dean of Students Office, and potentially by the State of Wisconsin.

Hazing:

Hazing or "forced activity" means any activity which is a condition of initiation or admission into or affiliation with an organization, regardless of a student's willingness to participate in the activity.

Hazing also includes any action taken or situation created, intentionally, whether on or off- campus, that produces mental or physical discomfort, embarrassment, harassment, or ridicule. This includes any action that endangers the health or well-being of an individual, is personally degrading, has an adverse effect on the academic performance of the student, or which violates any federal, state or local statute or University policy.

Individual or group consent to hazing activity in no way validates the activity or excludes those perpetuating it from being charged with a crime. Hazing is a process that involves harassment, with or without consent. Hazing can occur within any group. Hazing results include but are not limited to, excessive physical fatigue, embarrassment, humiliation, and mental or physical injury. Engaging in any hazing activity on or off campus is enforceable in terms of University sanctions. It is the responsibility of victims, participants or witnesses of a potential hazing incident to report the activity.

Wisconsin Statute 948.51:

Wisconsin Statute 948.51 prohibits any form of hazing. The statute says:

948.51 Hazing. (1) In this section "forced activity" means any activity which is a condition of initiation or admission into or affiliation with an organization, regardless of a student's willingness to participate in the activity. (2) No person may intentionally or recklessly engage in acts which endanger the physical health or safety of a student for the purpose of initiation or admission into or affiliation with any organization operating in connection with a school, college or university. Under those circumstances, prohibited acts may include any brutality of a physical nature, such as whipping, beating, branding, forced consumption of any food, liquor, drug or other substance, forced confinement or any other forced activity which endangers the physical health or safety of the student. (3) Whoever violates sub. (2) is guilty of: (a) A Class A misdemeanor if the act results in or is likely to result in bodily harm to another. (b) A Class E felony if the act results in great bodily harm or death to another. Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 12 Reporting an Incident:

If you have been hazed, have witnessed hazing, or suspect that someone you know has been hazed, you can report your observations confidentially by phone to university officials in the Office of Student Life.

UWGB's ability to investigate reports and enforce the university policy depends on the accuracy and specificity of the information provided. You are encouraged to provide as much specific detail as possible so that appropriate action can be taken to address the reported behavior.

For assistance with reporting, please contact: Office of Student Life, UU 150, 920-465-2720.

Housing

Housing policies are established by the appropriate housing authorities and will be enforced accordingly. Each student-athlete should carefully read his or her housing contact when signing up for housing.

The Compliance Office, the Athletics Program Housing Coordinator, and the student- athlete’s coach will be informed of all disciplinary actions. Additional Athletics Department disciplinary action may also be instituted in conjunction with those imposed by the housing authorities. Sexual Assault The issue of sexual assault is a concern to all administrators, faculty, staff and students at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay. The institution strives for the prevention of all forms of sex-based abuse and to provide a safe, abuse-free educational environment. Coercive sexual contact undermines the safety, security and dignity of all members of the University community.

Sexual assault, especially acquaintance rape, is a particular focus of concern for this University. It is the goal of the institution to help men and women understand that they can help prevent sexual assault by respecting the values and rights of others. Through education, knowledge of the law, and an awareness of the choices available, the threat of sexual assault can be diminished on this campus.

In the absence of consent, sexual intercourse and/or sexual contact are crimes. University of Wisconsin System employees are required by Wisconsin State law [Section 36.11(22)(2)(d)] to report to the Dean of Students all known instances of student sexual assault, though they are not required to identify the victim.

It is the policy of the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay that acts of sexual assault occurring on the campus where the victim or the perpetrator is a student will not be tolerated. These acts will be promptly investigated and may subject an individual to sanctions under UWS Chapter 17 to include dismissal from the University.

In an endeavor to assure that this is clearly understood, the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay provides education programs to promote the awareness of rape, acquaintance rape, and other forcible and non-forcible sex offenses. These programs will be sponsored by the Office of the Dean of Students, Office of Public Safety, and the Counseling and Health Center.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 13 Campus investigation and disciplinary action in cases of alleged sexual assault involving campus students and occurring on the UW-Green Bay campus will adhere to Student Non- Academic Disciplinary Procedures as outlined in Chapter UWS 17 and UWGB 17. The accuser and the accused are entitled to the same opportunities to have others present during a campus disciplinary appeal proceeding and shall be informed of the outcome of any campus disciplinary proceeding alleging sexual assault. Sanctions imposed following a termination of an on-campus disciplinary procedure regarding sexual assault range from disciplinary institutional probation to suspension or expulsion.

During the investigation and disciplinary process, upon the request of the victim, changes in the academic and/or living situations of those involved are possible if such changes are reasonably available.

Consistent with the above policy, the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay recommends that the following actions be taken by the victim of a sexual assault for her or his well-being:

• Talk to Someone: Rather than trying to erase the incident from memory, it is important that the victim talk to a friend, a Resident Assistant, someone from the campus Counseling Services, the Green Bay Sexual Assault Center, Dean of Students Office, or Public Safety. This is the first step in regaining control of one’s life. • Get Medical Care: As soon as possible, the victim should get medical care from Health Services, a hospital, or private physician. The victim will benefit from being examined for physical injury and disease, and from a discussion of options for pregnancy prevention. In order to preserve physical evidence of the assault, do not bathe, shower, douche, or change clothes before the medical exam. Evidence of this type would be vital if the victim decides to pursue criminal charges. • Report the Incident: It is the victim’s decision whether to report the assault. Reports can be made to campus Public Safety, the local law enforcement agency in the jurisdiction where incident took place, the Green Bay Sexual Assault Center, the Dean of Students Office and/or the campus Counseling and Health Center. Filing an informational report does not obligate the victim to press charges. Should the victim choose to press charges later, a report will significantly increase the possibility of successful prosecution. The victim may want to talk to a Green Bay Sexual Assault Center counselor or someone in the Counseling and Health Center about reporting procedures and options. Campus staff members are available to assist victims in notifying campus or city law enforcement authorities.

A victim of sexual assault can file a confidential and/or anonymous report with the Dean of Students Office or the Counseling and Health Center. The University cannot take disciplinary action solely on this report. However, the report would provide a record of the incident which may be useful if the victim decides at a later date to pursue charges.

The Counseling and Health Center (http://www.uwgb.edu/counselinghealth/) is available to assist a victim in contacting support agencies on or off campus, notifying proper law enforcement authorities including campus and/or local police, and discussing the various options open to the victim.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 14 GREEN BAY ATHLETICS CONDUCT POLICIES

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 15 GREEN BAY ATHLETICS CODE OF CONDUCT

Green Bay Athletics requires all administrators, coaches, staff, and student-athletes to conduct themselves in a manner, on- and off-campus and in and out of competition, which creates a positive and professional image of UW-Green Bay.

The Athletics Department operates within the rules and regulations established by UW- Green Bay, the Horizon League, and the NCAA. As a student-athlete, you have become a representative of UW-Green Bay and Green Bay Athletics, and you are expected to uphold the standards set forth by UW-Green Bay, Green Bay Athletics, and the NCAA.

Student-Athlete Code of Conduct

Participating in intercollegiate athletics as a representative of one of the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay athletic teams is a privilege that is earned through hard work and discipline in the classroom as well as in the athletic arena. By participating in intercollegiate athletics for the university, a student-athlete accepts the responsibilities that go along with his/her association with the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay Intercollegiate Athletic Program. UW-Green Bay student- athletes are public figures and role models and their conduct reflects on teammates, coaches, the university and themselves. Therefore, student-athletes are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible manner at all times.

We urge you to review all policies and procedures printed and cited in this Handbook. You have the freedom to manage your own life to a far greater degree than ever before. It is essential that this freedom be handled in a responsible manner so as not to jeopardize your opportunity to obtain maximum benefit from your UW-Green Bay and Green Bay Athletics experience.

Student-athletes are expected to abide by the rules and regulations specified by each Head Coach, the Green Bay Athletics Department, the UW-Green Bay University, the Horizon League and the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Student-athletes who violate these policies and/or engage in conduct determined to be inappropriate or detrimental to the University are subject to disciplinary action by the Head Coach, Sport Administrator and/or Director of Athletics.

Criminal Charges/Involvement in Criminal Activities

Any student-athlete charged with a felony crime will be immediately suspended from intercollegiate athletic participation and will thereafter be eligible only upon subsequent determination by the Director of Athletics. Disciplinary action for any criminal charges indictments or suspected criminal activity will be reviewed and determined by the Head Coach, Sport Administrator and/or Director of Athletics. The student-athlete may also be subject to the loss of his or her athletics financial aid.

Extracurricular Activities/Community Service

Student-athletes are encouraged to participate in University extra-curricular activities. The visibility of our Athletics Department (both our student-athletes and staff) is a chance to promote our program as well as make a difference on campus. Our student-athletes are also Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 16 - encouraged to make an impact in our community through community service events. The Athletics Department has a responsibility to give back to the community that supports us. Athletic and academic commitments are always the top priority, however it is important to find ways to be involved both on campus and in the community.

Gambling

The NCAA prohibits any involvement by student-athletes in any type of gambling activities that involve sports in which the NCAA conducts a national championship including FBS Football. This includes intercollegiate, amateur and professional sports (i.e., cannot wager on college football or NFL football). Gambling activities include fantasy sports, NCAA pools, Super Bowl squares or anything that requires a fee to enter. Gambling can also include providing information to individuals involved in organized gambling activities concerning intercollegiate athletics. Those found in violation will permanently lose the rest of their eligibility for intercollegiate athletics subject to an appeal for restoration.

Hazing

To reiterate the UW-Green Bay campus policy on hazing, all forms of hazing are prohibited by the Green Bay Athletic Department. Hazing is, but not limited to, the physical and/or psychological degradation of anyone. Specific examples include, but are not limited to, those activities expected of someone on a team (or group) that humiliates, degrades, abuses, or endangers, regardless of the person’s willingness to participate.

Social Networking and Online Community Policy

Student-athletes must be concerned with any behavior that might embarrass or misrepresent themselves, their teams, or UW-Green Bay. This includes any activities conducted online. UW-Green Bay supports and encourages the individuals’ expression of first amendment rights of free speech. This includes participating in online social networking sites (e.g., Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc.).

UW-Green Bay and the Green Bay Athletics Department do not place any restrictions on the use of these sites by student-athletes, however some sport programs do. As a representative of UW-Green Bay and Green Bay Athletics, you are always in the public eye. Please keep the following guidelines in mind as you participate on social networking web sites:

• Before participating in any online community, understand that anything posted online is available to anyone in the world. Any text or photo placed online becomes the property of the website and is completely out of your control the moment it is placed online – even if you limit access to your site. • For your safety, do not post information, photos, or other items online that could embarrass you, your team, or UW-Green Bay. This includes information, photos and items that may be posted by others on your page or their pages. • Do not post your home address, local address, phone number(s), birth date, or other personal information. Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 17 - • Exercise caution as to what information you post on your website about your whereabouts or plans (e.g., your class schedule or daily plans). You could be opening yourself up to predators. • Be aware of who you add as a friend to you site – many people are looking to take advantage of student-athletes, while others want to get close to student- athletes to give themselves a sense of membership in the team. • Do not post information about you, your teammates, or your team that your opponents can see (injuries, team issues, etc.). • Student-athletes could face discipline and even dismissal for violation of the conduct policies of UW-Green Bay, Green Bay Athletics, and/or the NCAA based on information found on these websites.

Student-athletes should also be aware that the following groups of people regularly check these websites:

• UW-Green Bay employees, including coaches, administrators, and professors • Law enforcement personnel • Local media • Potential employers • Internship supervisors • Graduate programs • Scholarship committees

Therefore, student-athletes are urged to exercise extreme caution in their use of social networking websites. What is posted online can affect not only your current status as a student-athlete, but also your future endeavors.

Unsportsmanlike Conduct

A major purpose of the NCAA is to promote the character development of participants and to promote civility in society, student-athletes, coaches, and others associated with athletics programs.

Similarly, a founding principle of the Horizon League is that student-athletes and all individuals associated with the Horizon League and its member institutions shall comport themselves with honesty and good sportsmanship. Their behavior shall at all times reflect the high standards of honor and dignity that characterize participation in intercollegiate athletics.

Green Bay Athletics adheres to these policies and expects its student-athletes to demonstrate good sportsmanship at all times, both in and out of competition. Student- athletes should conduct themselves in a manner reflecting positively on the reputation of Green Bay Athletics. Student-athletes should always maintain an attitude of respect towards our opponents. While intense and emotional game action and conduct are certainly a reasonable part of intercollegiate competitions, the intent of our student-athletes should never be to demean the opponent.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 18 - Unsportsmanlike behavior includes, but is not limited to:

GUIDELINES FOR DEALING WITH THE MEDIA

Media relations are an essential part of publicizing Green Bay Athletics. The fans of the institution and those from your hometowns are interested in your intercollegiate experience. In order for newspapers to follow up on your success, reporters need to talk directly with student-athletes to gain information for their stories. Student-athletes have the obligation to their institutions as well as the opportunity to provide tremendous promotional benefits for the program by talking with reputable members of the news media.

It is easy to be interviewed. Just relax and be yourself. Reporters find student-athletes are fun to interview because they are refreshingly honest. They want to know about you and your team’s goals and accomplishments. Keep your answers simple and brief. If you do not understand the question, or do not know the answer, say so. If appropriate, refer the reporter to your coach or Athletics Communications staff members. Additional guidelines for talking to reporters:

1. It is important that all interviews are arranged through the Athletics Communication Office. DO NOT agree to a telephone interview unless an Athletics Communications staff member has coordinated arrangements. Telephone numbers of student-athletes are not given out by the Athletics Communications Office. In most cases, Athletics Communications Office staff members will have you conduct telephone interviews in their office. If you are called at home and have not been in contact with the Athletics Communications Office, tell the reporter that you would like any interview arranged through the Athletics Communications Department. Student reporters are generally the most frequent violators of this policy. It is very important to have good relations with the student press. They are not professionals; sometimes they do not know the details of the sports they are assigned to cover. Be patient and cordial at all times.

2. Dealing with the news media develops communication skills that can be helpful not only while you are a student-athlete, but also in future careers. For the most part, interviews are short (5-10 minutes) and feature-oriented. Please promptly return phone calls to media when arranged by the Athletics Communication Office. Members of the media are often on deadline, and only need a few minutes. Always assume that what you tell a reporter will be quoted “on the record.” 3. If you encounter a question that you do not wish to answer, or if you do not know the answer, say that to the reporter. A proper response might be, “I would rather not discuss that subject” or “I cannot answer that.” Avoid saying, “No comment,” which gives a perception of elusiveness. What is discussed behind closed (locker room/office) doors should remain there. If you are uncomfortable with the questions or tone of an interview, tell your coach or Athletics Communications staff member. 4. Post-event interviews are usually performance-related. Reporters request interviews with particular student-athletes based on their performances at the event. Your coach, as well as the opposing coach and student-athletes may also be interviewed at this time. It is easy to be cooperative with the media when you win. Anyone can say, “I played great…We played great…We are great.” It is when you lose that it becomes difficult. Try to answer patiently and honestly. If you absolutely do not wish to speak Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 19 - with the press after a difficult game, be polite and respond, “I would prefer not to discuss that.” 5. If there is a problem with a certain member of the media, seek counsel with the staff of the Athletics Communication Office at (920) 465-2498. 6. The impressions of you, your sports program, and the institution are often made through your interviews with the print and electronic media. You are the best ambassadors for your program. You will gain confidence as you gain experience with interviewing. If you need assistance, please call the Athletics Communications office. Look at the interview as a learning experience. Someday, there will be a person who may wish to hire you who will be firing questions at you. Not many other students get the opportunity to hone their communication skills in this manner. This is your chance - take advantage of it! Impressions are made about you, your team, and your institution through interviews, feature stories, and how you handle yourself.

PROMOTIONAL APPEARANCES

As a student-athlete, you may be asked to make public appearances, speaking engagements, or promotions for UW-Green Bay or other organizations. While it is positive exposure for Green Bay Athletics, you should be aware that many times these types of activities are prohibited under NCAA rules and could affect your eligibility. All student-athlete promotional activities must be approved in advance by the Compliance Office. Any student-athlete who is asked to do any type of promotional activity must see the Compliance Office to get prior approval to participate in the promotion.

EXIT SURVEY/INTERVIEW

The Intercollegiate Athletics Committee asks all student-athletes to partake in an exit survey or interview, that choice is the preference of the student-athlete, after their eligibility has expired or they wish to no longer be a part of the team. The interview enables the Athletics Department to evaluate our programs and student- athletes' experience in both athletics and academics and continually improve the overall student-athlete experience. Your feedback is essential for the future development of the Athletics Department. You are expected to participate in the interview process when solicited by the Associate Athletic Director for Compliance and Student Welfare/ SWA, Sport Administrator, Faculty Athletics Representative or another IAC member.

GREEN BAY ATHLETICS STUDENT- ATHLETE SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICIES

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 21 - INTRODUCTION

The UW-Green Bay Athletics Department is concerned with the health, safety and welfare of its student- athletes. The use of illegal and/or unlawful use of drugs, dietary supplements, performance enhancing substances and alcohol can have a negative effect on the health and performance of a student-athlete and are inconsistent with the standards expected of student-athletes at UW-Green Bay. Substance use and abuse in sport can pose risks to the student-athlete’s health and negatively affect academic and athletic performance, as well as comprise the integrity of the athletic competition and the ideals of UW-Green Bay.

This policy is not to be construed as a contract between the University and the student-athletes at UW-Green Bay. However, signed consent and notification forms shall be considered affirmation of the student- athlete’s agreement to the terms and conditions contained in this policy.UW-Green Bay and its Athletic Department may amend this policy at any time.

PURPOSE

This policy is designed to protect the health, safety and welfare of UW-Green Bay student-athletes by preventing substance use and abuse through education, testing and professional referral.

• Education – To provide student-athletes and athletics staff with information about the problems associated with substance use and abuse. • Testing – To use a systematic approach to detect whether a student-athlete is using substances prohibited by the NCAA and/or UW-Green Bay. • Professional referral – To provide appropriate professional referral for counseling, treatment and rehabilitation of student-athletes found to be using or abusing illegal substances.

CONDITIONS OF ELIGIBILITY

As a condition of eligibility to compete in intercollegiate athletics at UW-Green Bay all student-athletes must sign a NCAA consent form in which student-athletes consent to be tested by the NCAA for the use of drugs prohibited by NCAA legislation. In addition, student-athletes must sign the UW-Green Bay Athletics Department Drug Testing Consent form (Appendix A) to allow for testing and limited release of test results as defined in this policy. The following student-athletes are eligible for testing:

• Student-athletes who are actively participating • Student-athletes with a medical hardship • Red-shirted student-athletes • Non-qualifier student-athletes • Student-athletes who have completed their eligibility but are still receiving athletic aid

Any student-athlete who refuses to sign the NCAA consent form and/or the UW-Green Bay Athletics Department Drug Testing Consent form will be immediately declared ineligible for competition and may result in a loss of athletic aid.

Parental consent will be required for student-athletes under the age of 18.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 22 - EDUCATION PROGRAM

UW-Green Bay’s Counseling and Health Center provides ongoing education and counseling for drug and alcohol abuse for all students. Education consists of individual and campus wide programs. Assessment, counseling, and referrals are available. All student-athletes are encouraged to take part in at least one drug and alcohol educational session per academic year.

Freshman, transfer or other new student-athletes will undergo education for drug and alcohol abuse as part of their Freshman Orientation Workshops. When mandated by the Athletics Director, specialized educational programs may be arranged to provide student-athletes the opportunity to be informed about the dangers of specific substances. When such programs are held, student-athlete attendance is mandatory.

Any education program used should increase a student-athlete’s knowledge regarding the use of alcohol, drugs, dietary supplements, or other banned substance, as well as deter their use. Education programs should also encourage health and positive lifestyle for student-athletes. Refer to Appendix B for a list of NCAA Banned Substances.

Each year, the Sports Medicine staff or Compliance Director will discuss and review institutional and NCAA drug testing policy and education with each team. This discussion will typically take place during a team’s preseason meeting.

Student-athletes are also encouraged to utilize educational resources available from the NCAA Education Affairs website (www.ncaa.org/health-saftey) or Drug Free Sports’ Dietary Supplement Resource Exchange Center website (www.drugfreesport.com) Username: NCAA1, Password NCAA1.

UW-GREEN BAY ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT DRUG TESTING PROGRAM

The Athletics Department believes that random drug testing and testing based on reasonable suspicion are appropriate to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its student-athletes. This policy and testing program is separate and distinct from the NCAA drug testing program.

Pre-season screening

Student-athletes are subject to preseason drug testing and may be notified of such by the Head Athletic Trainer at any time prior to their first competition.

Unannounced Random Testing

The Athletics Department may conduct unannounced random drug testing at any time of the year. Student- athletes will be randomly selected from the official institutional squad lists.

Unannounced Random Team Testing

Entire teams, or portions of a single team, are subject to unannounced random drug testing throughout the year. Teams or individual team members from a specific team will be randomly selected for testing.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 23 - Reasonable Suspicion

A student-athlete may be subject to testing at any time when it has been determined that there is individualized reasonable suspicion to believe the participant is using or has used a prohibited substance. Individualized reasonable suspicion means: if the available facts were conveyed to a reasonable person unfamiliar with the student or athletic program, that person would conclude that there is reason to believe that the student is using a prohibited drug. Such reasonable suspicion may be based on objective information as determined by the Director of Athletics or by an Associate/Assistant Athletic Director, Compliance Director, Head or Assistant Athletic Trainer, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Head or Assistant Coach, Team Physician or treating physician. These individuals are required to report the reasons for suspicion to the Compliance Director or his/her designate. If a designee or Head Athletic Trainer receives the report of suspicion, they will inform the Compliance Director of the report.

Reasonable suspicion may include, but is not limited to: 1) observed possession or use of substances appearing to be prohibited drugs, 2) arrest or conviction for a criminal offense related to possession or transfer of prohibited drugs or substances, or 3) observed abnormal appearance, conduct or behavior reasonably interpretable as being caused by the use of prohibited drugs or substances, 4) production of dilute urine sample during Department testing, 5) association with an event known to involve illegal substances.

Among the indicators which may be used in evaluating a student-athlete’s abnormal appearance, conduct or performance are: class attendance, significant GPA changes, decrease in athletic practice attendance, increased injury rate or illness, physical appearance changes, academic/athletic motivational level, emotional condition, mood changes and illegal involvement.

The Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services will make a determination within 48 hours of receiving the notice of reasonable suspicion. If suspected, the Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services or his/her designee will notify the student-athlete and the student-athlete may be asked to stay with a member of their coaching staff, the athletics administration staff or sports medicine staff until an adequate specimen is produced. If the student-athlete is not required to stay with an Athletics Department official, the Head Athletic Trainer will arrange a time for testing for the student-athlete. Notification of testing as described by this policy will be provided for the student-athlete for the reasonable suspicion testing.

Re-entry Testing

Any student-athlete who has had been suspended from intercollegiate competition for a positive drug test is required to undergo re-entry drug and/or alcohol testing prior to regaining eligibility to participate. If test, this test must return a negative result in order for the student-athlete to regain eligibility to participate. Any student-athlete who has been suspended from intercollegiate competition for a non-drug related reason may be required to undergo re-entry testing.

Follow-up Testing

Any student-athlete who has returned to participation in intercollegiate competition following a positive drug test and/or suspension from competition for a drug related or non-drug related reason is subject to follow-up testing. Testing will be announced and frequency will be determined by the Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services in consultation with the Head Coach, Head Athletic Trainer and counselor involved in the student-athlete’s case.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 24 -

Post-season/Championship Testing

Any participant or team likely to advance to post-season championship competition may be subject to additional testing. Testing may be required of all team members or individual student-athletes at any time within thirty (30) days prior to the post-season competition. If a student-athlete tests positive, he or she will not be allowed to compete at the post-season event and will be subject to the sanctions herein.

Notification

A student-athlete selected for testing, they will be notified by the Head Athletic Trainer either in person or by direct telephone contact. No emails, voice mails, or text messages will be used for drug testing notification.

Upon notification, the student-athlete will read and sign the completed student-athlete Notification of Testing form. A copy of this form will be made for the student-athlete upon request. The form will be complete with the location, date, and time for the collection. In the event of a direct telephone notification, a notification form will be partially completed by the Head Athletic Trainer, to be read and signed by the student-athlete as soon as possible. The student-athlete will receive no more than 48 hours’ notice of testing. If the student-athlete is able to produce a sample at the time of notification and the collector is able to collect a sample, they may do so. Completed forms will be placed in the student-athlete’s medical file.

Reporting to testing location

If requested, a student-athlete must verify their identity with a student ID or state issued driver’s license with the testing collector. A student-athlete may have their identity verified by their coach or other Athletic Department staff member.

Upon reporting to the testing location, a student-athlete must dispose of any liquids or foods brought from outside of the testing area. Jackets, bags, hats or other personal items must be placed in an area not easily accessible for the student-athlete. A student-athlete may have a book, magazine, or other class work while waiting for their sample collection.

Once a student-athlete reports to the testing location, they may not leave without permission of the Site Coordinator or Collector. Leaving the testing location will result in a positive test result.

Laboratory Analysis

For UW-Green Bay Athletic Department testing, urine samples will be collected and sent to an independent laboratory certified by the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and/or World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). The lab may testing may include but will not be limited to any and/or all drugs included on the NCAA Banned-Drug list, urine manipulators and diuretics. An update-to-date list of banned substances can be found at http://www1.ncaa.org/membership/ed_outreach/health-safety/drug_testing/banned_drug_classes.pdf.

The samples will be tested for any number of banned substances or illegal drugs determined by the Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services. The determination of which drugs will be tested will be verbally communicated to the Head Athletic Trainer before the testing collection.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 25 -

Collection Procedure for UW-Green Bay Athletics Department Instituted Testing

In most cases, the “Collector” for UW-Green Bay Athletics Department Instituted Testing will be the Head Athletic Trainer.

• The Collector will assure that only persons authorized will be allowed in the collection station and collection area. • The Collector will determine the release of a selected student-athlete from the collection station or area prior to completing the specimen collection process. • Upon arrival, student-athlete will provide photo identification and/or a UW-Green Bay Official will identify the student-athlete. The student-athlete will then print his/her name and arrival time on the Roster Sign-In Form. • Once identified and signed into the collection station, the student-athlete may not leave the collection station without the permission of the Collector. • No outside food or beverage will be allowed in the collecting station. A student-athlete may have homework or other reading material in the testing area if they choose. • When able to provide a sample, the student-athlete will select a sealed beaker from a supply of such and may be asked record his/her initials on the beaker or apply a unique barcode onto the beaker. • The Collector or crew member will require the student-athlete to wash and dry their hands. • The student-athlete will produce a specimen in the testing area under direct observation of the Collector or a crew member designated by the Collector, to assure the integrity of the specimen. The specimen must be at least 50mL. • The student-athlete will be responsible for keeping the collection beaker closed and controlled. • 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. • Fluids or food given to student-athletes who have difficulty voiding must be from sealed containers, approved by the Collector. These items must be opened and consumed in the collection station. Any items given to coax a sample must be free of any banned substance. • If the specimen is incomplete and the student-athlete must leave the collection station for a reason approved by the Collector, the specimen may be discarded at the discretion of the Collector. • Upon return to the collection station, the student-athlete will start the collection procedure again as listed above to complete the collection procedure. • Once a specimen of at least 50 mL is provided (75 mL preferred), the Collector will escort the student-athlete to the specimen processing area. • The Collector will instruct the student-athlete to closely observe the specimen processing steps and will then measure the specific gravity.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 26 - • If the specific gravity is below 1.005 (1.010 if measured with a reagent strip), no value will be recorded on the Custody and Control Form and the specimen will be discarded by the student-athlete with the Collector observing. The student-athlete must remain in the testing area until a proper specimen is provided, as dictated above. • If a sample’s specific gravity is below 1.005, the Collector may enact the “Dilute Sample Procedure” as directed in this policy. • If the urine is concentrated (1.005 specific gravity or higher), the Collector will record the specific gravity value on the Custody and Control Form and then measure the urine’s pH If in range (4.5-7.5 inclusive), the Collector will record the pH value on the Custody and Control Form in the appropriate area. 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. • 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 laboratory. The Collector or crew member will record the specific gravity and pH values. • If the laboratory determines that a student-athlete’s sample is inadequate for analysis, at the client’s discretion, another sample may be collected. • If a student-athlete is suspected of manipulating specimens (e.g., via dilution, substitution), another sample will be collected. The incident will be reported to the Compliance Director for possible policy violation, which could result in a positive test being issued. • Once a specimen has been provided that meets the on-site specific gravity and pH parameters, the student-athlete will select a sample collection kit from a supply of such. • The Collector 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 into the “A” and “B” vials and close the lids. The Collector should pour urine into vials above the minimum volume level (35 mL in A vial; 15 mL in B vial) and pour as much urine as possible into vials using care not to exceed the maximum levels (90 mL in A vial; 60 mL in B vial). • The specimen processor will securely close the lids on each vial and then seal each vial using the vial seals attached to the Custody and Control Form; assuring seals are tightly adhered to the vials with no tears or loose areas. • The Collector must then collect all necessary signatures (collector, donor, witness, and collector/specimen processor) and dates/times where indicated on the Custody and Control Form. • The specimen processor will place the laboratory copy of the Custody and Control Form in the back pouch of the plastic 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. • The student-athlete is then released by the collector. • All sealed samples will be secured in a shipping 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 shipping container for shipment to the “anabolic steroids” laboratory. • After the collection has been completed, the samples will be forwarded to the laboratory and copies of any forms forwarded to the designated persons. • The samples become the property of the UW-Green Bay and/or Drug Free Sport.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 27 - • All sealed specimens will be secured in a shipping case and be prepared for shipping to the laboratory. Shy Bladder Procedure

If a student-athlete is unable to provide a sample after an adequate amount of time as determined by the Collector, the student-athlete will be released by the Collector and be subject to another test within the next 7 days. If the same student-athlete reports on 2 separate occasions and is unable to provide a sample, the student-athlete will be unable to leave the collection site until a sample is produced.

Dilute Sample Procedure

Student-athletes can purposefully over-hydrate in an attempt to mask a banned substance by drinking a large amount of water in a fairly short amount of time. For this reason, UW-Green Bay considers 3 or more dilute samples to be cause for reasonable suspicion.

If the student-athlete provides multiple dilute samples, the student-athlete will be tested at each regularly scheduled test throughout the remainder of his/her athletic eligibility and/or until he/she receives at least 2 negative tests. The student-athlete should be given as little time as possible between notification and reporting time for future drug tests.

Reporting Results

Results of all drug tests will be sent to the Head Athletic Trainer. The drug testing results become a part of the student- athlete’s medical record and are considered to be confidential. Results and other information pertaining to those results shall remain in the possession of the Head Athletic Trainer and may only be released as stated on the drug testing consent form. In the event of a valid subpoena to release the record and in accordance with applicable law, the affected student-athlete will be notified before compliance with the subpoena.

If the test results are negative, the Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services will be notified by the Head Athletic Trainer of the negative results. The Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services may also notify the student-athlete and Head Coach of the negative test result.

If the Head Athletic Trainer is notified of a positive result, s/he will report that positive result to the Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services and Team Physician. The Team Physician may have the opportunity to review the results to provide a possible medical explanation for the positive test.

The Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services or his/her designate will report the positive finding to the student-athlete, the student-athlete’s Head Coach, and the Director of Athletics. The Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services schedule a confidential meeting with the student-athlete to discuss the test result. This meeting should take place within 24 hours of the positive test result. The Head Athletic Trainer, student-athlete’s Head Coach, Team Physician, Faculty Athletics Representative, or other Athletic Department Staff may also be invited to this meeting as seen fit by the Assistant AD for Compliance and Student Services. At the meeting, the positive test, appeals process, sanctions, or other pertinent information will be discussed.

A student-athlete will be told to contact their parents/guardians to inform them of the positive drug test. The student- athlete will ask his/her parents call the student-athlete’s Head Coach. If the Head Coach does not receive a phone call from the student-athlete’s parents 48 hours after notification of the positive test, the Head Coach may call the student- athlete’s parents to discuss the positive test result and sanctions imposed.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 28 -

Safe Harbor Program

A student-athlete eligible for the Safe Harbor Program may refer himself/herself for voluntary evaluation and treatment for alcohol or drug problems. A student-athlete is not eligible for the Safe Harbor Program:

1. After s/he has been informed of an impending drug test 2. After having received a positive finding on a UW-Green Bay or NCAA drug test 3. While awaiting pending drug or alcohol related legal charges against them

UW-Green Bay Athletics Department will work with the student-athlete to prepare a Safe Harbor treatment plan, which may include confidential testing. If the student-athlete tests positive for a banned substance upon entering the Safe Harbor Program, that positive test will not result in any administrative sanction unless the student-athlete tests positive in a subsequent retest or the student-athlete fails to comply with the treatment plan. The Athletics Department Team Physician may suspend the student-athlete from play or practice if medically indicated. A student-athlete will be permitted to remain in the Safe Harbor Program for a reasonable period of time to be determined by the University Director of Counseling. A student-athlete will not be permitted to enter the Safe Harbor Program thirty (30) days prior to Horizon League or NCAA post-season competition. If a student-athlete tests positive for any banned substance after completing the Safe Harbor Program or fails to comply with the Safe Harbor treatment plan, the student-athlete will be removed from the Safe Harbor Program, an initial Safe Harbor positive test will be treated as a first positive test and will be subject to the sanctions explained in this policy.

Positive Test Results Any student-athlete who tests positive for a banned substance during a UW-Green Bay Athletics Department and/or NCAA drug test shall be subject to the sanctions listed below. In addition, any student- athlete who refuses to submit to a drug test, does not report to the drug testing site or attempts to manipulate, substitute or adulterate any urine sample will be treated as if the test result was positive for a banned substance and shall be subject to the sanctions listed below. Violations are cumulative throughout a student- athlete’s career at UW-Green Bay.

Any student-athlete that receives a positive test for a performance enhancing substance when tested by UW- Green Bay will be issued penalties consistent with the penalties set by the NCAA for a positive test for their drug testing program. The penalty for testing positive for a performance enhancing drug is 365 day suspension from intercollege activity in addition to losing 1 year of eligibility.

Upon receipt of a request for additional testing the Sr. Associate AD for Compliance and Student Services will request the laboratory retained by UW-Green Bay to perform testing on specimen B. The student-athlete may choose to be present or have a representative present for this testing. The student-athlete or his/her representative will verify the sample number and the integrity of the seal prior to the laboratory opening of specimen B. Specimen B results will be final, subject to the results of any appeal. If specimen B results are negative, the drug test will be considered negative. Student-athletes will be responsible for all costs associated with the testing of specimen B.

Student-athletes who test positive under the terms of this policy may appeal the findings of any drug test. Requests for an appeals hearing must be made in writing to the Sr. Associate AD for Compliance and Student Services by the student-athlete within 48 hours from the notification of a positive test result of either specimen A or B. Any student-athlete who requests an appeals hearing will not be imposed any sanctions until the hearing has concluded. A student-athlete may have a representative at the hearing to assist with an appeal. However, the athlete must present his or her own case.

The decision of the appeals committee will be final.

NCAA Drug Testing Program

All student-athletes are subject to unannounced random drug testing at NCAA Championship events. At NCAA Championship events, student-athletes will be tested for banned drugs listed in the NCAA Bylaw 31.2.3.4. Student-athletes are also subject to year-round testing by the NCAA for anabolic agents, diuretics, ephedrine, urine manipulators, and peptide hormones.

As a requirement for participation in intercollegiate athletics, a signed NCAA Drug Testing Consent Form must be completed by each student-athlete annually.

NCAA Drug Testing Procedure

At an NCAA Championship event, an NCAA drug testing crew member will notify a student- athlete that they were selected for drug testing. Each student-athlete will be instructed to read and sign a notification form. The crew member and notification form will instruct the student-athlete to report to the collection station at or before a designated time.

If selected for year-round testing, the student-athlete will be notified by the Head Athletic Trainer of the pending test. Upon notification, a student-athlete will be instructed to read and sign a notification form. The notification form will provide the student-athlete with date, time and location of the testing.

As per NCAA Bylaw 31.2.3.1, a student-athlete who is in breach of the NCAA drug testing program protocol (e.g. no-show, tampering with sample) shall be considered to have tested positive for the use of any drug other than a “street” drug.

Collection Procedure for NCAA Instituted Testing

Collection of samples for all NCAA instituted testing will be conducted by members of the NCAA drug testing crew. Typically the crew will be provided by the Center for Drug Free Sport, a partner of the NCAA. The student-athlete must follow the written and verbal instructions of the drug testing crew.

When conducting year-round NCAA drug testing, UW-Green Bay will adhere to the NCAA collection procedure. The Athletics Department’s Drug Testing Site Coordinator will be the liaison between the NCAA and the Athletics Department. The Drug Testing Site Coordinator will be responsible for appropriate set up and facilitation of the NCAA drug test.

All samples will be collected using approved NCAA collection procedure and sent to an NCAA approved testing location.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 33 - Reporting Results for NCAA Instituted Testing

The student-athlete may appeal the positive result of an NCAA drug testing under the provisions set forth by NCAA Bylaw 18.4.1.5.1.2

UW-Green Bay Athletics Department Alcohol Policy

UW-Green Bay is concerned with the use and abuse of alcohol. UW-Green Bay students under the age of 21 may not use or possess alcoholic beverages. It is the responsibility of every member of the university community to know the risks associated with alcohol use and abuse. This responsibility obligates student-athletes to know the relevant university policies and federal, state and local laws and to conduct themselves in accordance with these laws and policies. This policy extends to the recruitment of prospective UW-Green Bay student-athletes. Prospective student-athletes visiting the UW-Green Bay campus and socializing with current student-athletes and/or students are expected to participate in all activities without the influence of alcohol. It should be understood that possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages by individuals under the age of 21 is a violation of state law. Likewise, it is illegal for anyone above the age of 21 to supply alcoholic beverages to persons under the age of 21. Any student-athlete who is involved in an alcohol-related incident either on or off campus may be subject to disciplinary action administered by the Head Coach and/or Athletics Department. Alcohol consumption by student-athletes is not permitted under any circumstances during any team travel. A student-athlete may not consume alcohol within 24 hours of a contest. The athletics department will support all university policies regarding the use and consumption of alcohol by student-athletes. It is department policy that student-athletes 21 and above, will not be allowed to consume alcohol at athletic department functions, those caught violating this rule will incur sanctions. Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 34 - Student-athletes who are issued a police citation for any alcohol related offense (e.g. underage drinking) will incur the sanctions listed below. Violations are cumulative throughout an athlete’s career at UW-Green Bay.

• First violation: Warning and alcohol education • Second violation: Warning, alcohol education, alcohol counseling and community service • Third violation: Contest suspension, alcohol counseling and community service • Fourth violation: Team suspension and/or loss of scholarship

This alcohol policy outlines minimum sanctions for all student-athletes as established by the Athletics Department. Individual sport programs will be allowed to institute their own team alcohol policy. Student- athletes may be subject to additional sanctions as determined by the Head Coach of each sport and approved by the Director of Athletics and/or Sport Supervisor.

The alcohol policy also encompasses the use of a fake ID or false identification. The possession and use of a false identification should be treated at a minimum with the same consequence as underage consumption If a fake ID is found in possession or used by an underage student-athlete, the alcohol policy will be but in place and sanctions will be as listed above.

UW-Green Bay Athletics Department Tobacco Policy

The use of tobacco products is prohibited by all game personnel (e.g. coaches, student-athletes, athletic trainers, managers and game officials) in all sports during practice, competition and travel, as well as in any other capacity while officially representing UW-Green Bay. A student-athlete who violates this tobacco policy will be sanctioned as outlined by the NCAA guidelines. Under NCAA Bylaw, 17.1.7, a student-athlete is prohibited from using tobacco 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.

UW-Green Bay Athletics Department Dietary Supplements Policy

Many nutritional/dietary supplements contain NCAA banned substances. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not strictly regulate the supplement industry; therefore purity, efficacy, label accuracy and safety of nutritional/dietary supplements cannot be guaranteed. In other words, use of nutritional/dietary supplements may not be safe for student-athletes to use, or may compromise a student- athlete’s eligibility to participate in intercollegiate competition. Impure supplements may lead to adverse effects for the user and/or a positive NCAA drug test. Use of supplements is at the student-athlete’s own risk, as they may cause adverse health effects or a positive NCAA drug test. The student-athlete is solely accountable for a supplement’s effect on his or her drug screening, regardless of his or her intention or actual knowledge of taking a banned substance. Student-athletes should contact their athletic trainer for further information on the use of nutritional/dietary supplements, as well as Sports Medicine’s policy on nutritional/dietary supplements.

GREEN BAY ATHLETICS STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC POLICY AND SUPPORT SERVICES

.. •

Green BayAthletics Student-Athlete Handbook -36 ACADEMIC EXPECTATIONS

The Green Bay Athletics Department makes every effort to encourage and support academic success of its student-athletes. While there are many resources on campus and within the Athletics Department to assist, the ultimate responsibility lies on the student-athletes to ask for assistance and utilize the resources available to them.

Academic Advising

The information and advice provided by Advisers and the NCAA Eligibility Coordinator will help you make informed decisions and avoid needless mistakes. Let us help you get off to a great start at UW-Green Bay.

All new freshmen will be assigned to an Adviser (check your SIS account for advisor assignment). Advisers provide individual advising on topics relevant to first year students such as:

• General Education requirements • Math and English competency requirements • Academic problem solving and decision-making • Course planning • Exploration of UW-Green Bay majors/minors • Effective use of SIS • Referral base – not sure where to go come see us!

The office is open 8:00 to 4:30 Monday through Friday. During registration for each semester and for the first week of classes each semester, advisers are available on a walk-in basis from 8:00 to 11:30 and 1:00 to 4:00. Throughout the remainder of the year, advisers are available on an appointment basis.

Academic Progress Monitoring

In cooperation with each coach, the Athletics Academic Coordinator regularly monitors the academic progress of student-athletes. Progress reports (“grade checks”) are sent to the faculty a minimum of two times each semester (6th and 10th week), with additional correspondence for student- athletes that demonstrate a greater need. Information regarding attendance, grades, and participation are shared with the coach, the Assistant Athletics Director for Compliance & Student Services, and the Sport Supervisor. In the event a problem is discovered, the student-athlete, the Athletics Academic Coordinator, and the coach will devise strategies to alleviate the problem.

Assessment Testing

All students who have earned from 62 to 85 credits will be required to participate in an assessment evaluation program. These students will be notified by the Registrar’s Office when they reach this level.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 37 Missed Class Time

UW-Green Bay recognizes the importance of class attendance by all students. However, when participation in athletic competition does require missed class time, student-athletes are considered representatives of UW-Green Bay, and scheduled absences from class should be treated as excused absences by the instructor if the following procedure is followed by a student-athlete.

When constructing athletic travel schedules, class absences are taken into consideration and should be kept to a minimum. It is the responsibility of the student-athlete to inform instructors well in advance (i.e., the first day of class each semester) when classes must be missed, and to make up any assignments, quizzes, exams, etc. missed during the absence. Student-athletes should be on time for all appointments, classes, tutors, advisors, etc. or have the courtesy to call in an emergency.

Notice to each professor at the beginning of each semester needs to be accompanied by a formal document from the coach listing the dates of competition and the resulting travel schedule. The following procedure must be followed in the event of class absence due to travel or competition:

1. Coaches will provide student-athletes with copies of a cover letter from the IAC along with a competition and travel schedule. 2. Each student-athlete must see each professor personally as soon as possible after receiving this cover letter and schedule at the beginning of each semester. 3. Each student-athlete must follow up with each professor in advance (preferably the week of or one week or more) of competition and travel to remind the professor of the upcoming absence, to get assignments, and/or to schedule make-up quizzes or exams.

Any problems that arise pertaining to class absences should be brought to the attention of the Athletics Academic Coordinator without delay.

Registration

1. Know your USERNAME and PASSWORD. New and re-entry students will receive their USERNAME and PASSWORD to their SIS account by mail. 2. Check your SIS account for your Priority registration day. You can register at or after your designated registration day, however student-athletes are encouraged to register as soon as possible to ensure agreeable class times. Registration is available all hours, all day – EXCEPT between midnight and 2 a.m. (due to nightly system maintenance). 3. You can register for classes anywhere you have access to the Internet. 4. Check and follow-up on any service indicators (holds) that may prevent you from registering. 5. Go to http://www.uwgb.edu > Current Student > Schedule of Classes for the most current class information. 6. Check requisites (prerequisites). You will not be able to register for a class unless you meet the requisite exactly. The instructor must approve exceptions to requisites. 7. Have alternate classes ready in case your classes are closed. 8. Register for at least 12 credits per semester. If you have declared your major ensure that at least 6 of those 12 credits are towards your intended major.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 38 All students are encouraged to work with staff and/or faculty advisers and to use the systems and programs developed by the University to enhance the academic advising process. The advisers in the Academic Advising Office work with students with 36 or fewer earned credits, transfers upon their initial semester at UW-Green Bay, and all students with questions regarding the completion of their general education requirements. Faculty advisers are listed online at http://www.uwgb.edu/registrar/Advisers/Advisers.htm and work with those students that have attained 36 or more earned credits in their respective area(s) of study.

Students with less than 36 earned credits should meet with an adviser in the Academic Advising Office before registering for a semester’s schedule of classes. Sources of advising information are the on-line course catalog and SIS. PCs for completing on-line registration, determining course availability, reviewing course descriptions and prerequisite are available throughout the campus. Advisers in the Academic Advising Office provide instruction to students on the use of the PCs and the on-line advising and registration programs and systems.

Add/Drop

Adding and dropping classes can be beneficial to you as a student, but as a student-athlete can have very serious consequences if not handled correctly. In order to be considered a full-time student, you must be enrolled in at least 12 credits. Therefore, student-athletes must be enrolled in at least 12 credits at all times during the academic year to be eligible for practice and competition.

A student-athlete should never drop a class without first getting the approval of the Athletics Academic Coordinator and the Registrar, and should never drop a class without adding a class first.

A student-athlete should also be aware that he or she is responsible for any fees associated with a late drop that occurs during the academic year or the j-term/summer academic terms. One must always be at 12 credits and if you have declared your major, 6 of the 12 credits must count towards your declared major.

Withdrawal from UW-Green Bay

A student who desires to withdraw from all academic course work at any time after completing registration must complete the following steps:

1. Fill out an official withdrawal form at the Office of the Registrar or contact the Registrar’s Office. 2. Send a written statement to confirm the intent to withdraw and file it with the Registrar’s Office.

Failure to follow the above procedures prior to the week before classes begin will result in late withdrawal fees to the student-athlete.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 39 Study Table for Student-Athletes

Green Bay Athletics provides a study table program for all student-athletes. At the beginning of each semester, each head coach will provide to the Athletics Academic Coordinator a list of required attendees and the sessions that they will be attending. The Athletics Academic Coordinator will be responsible for monitoring check-in -out times, conducting spot checks in permissible out-of-room study areas, and maintaining control in the study room area to ensure a conducive environment for the purpose of studying.

The Athletics Academic Coordinator will have a sign-in sheet to record check-in and check-out activity for all student-athletes. Each student-athlete will need to be signed in by the Athletics Academic Coordinator on the check-in sheet.

If a student-athlete wants to use a computer, the library, or the writing lab facilities during study table, he or she will only be dismissed if given permission by the head coach AND such permission is communicated to the Athletics Academic Coordinator prior to the study table session. The Athletics Academic Coordinator will run spot checks in these areas to ensure students are utilizing the facilities appropriately.

The Athletics Academic Coordinator will provide log-in sheets to coaches at the end of each week which record check-in and check-out activity of those student-athletes who are present. The Athletics Academic Coordinator will also report any special concerns or problems. If a team or individual is going to miss or report late to a study table session (i.e. traveling, practice, etc.) the student-athlete must talk with her or his head coach who will inform the Athletics Academic Coordinator prior to the missed or tardy session.

Study Table Schedule ES114 Monday 6:30pm-9:00pm, Wednesday 6:30-9:00pm, Thursday 6:30pm-9:00pm

Tutorial Services

The Athletics Academic Coordinator, in conjunction with UW-Green Bay’s Academic Resource Center and your professor, coordinates with each student-athlete who communicates or demonstrates a need for tutorial services. The Academic Resource Center and Green Bay Athletics itself provides no-cost individualized and structured study group tutorial services in a wide array of subject areas.

Tutoring services are an invaluable resource for student-athletes, especially in light of the missed class time that can result from competition and travel, as well as the rigorous academic eligibility standards a student-athlete must meet. Please take advantage of these services by contacting the Athletics Academic Coordinator to arrange for assistance.

SUPPORT SERVICES

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 42 GREEN BAY ATHLETICS STUDENT-ATHLETE ELIGIBILITY

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 43 ACADEMIC ELIGIBILITY

Before a continuing student-athlete is eligible for practice or competition, he or she:

1. Must be enrolled in at least 12 credits at all times and must have successfully earned a minimum of 6 credits in the preceding semester. The only exception to this is if a student- athlete is in his/her final semester before graduation. Therefore, a student-athlete should never drop a class without first getting the approval of the Athletics Academic Coordinator and/or the Registrar, and should never drop a class without adding a class first.

2. Must meet satisfactory academic progress requirements established by UW-Green Bay and the NCAA. Entering your 3rd semester one should have earned a 1.8 GPA, entering your 5th semester a 1.9 GPA, and entering your 7th semester a 2.0 GPA. If one does not earn the appropriate GPA, you are ineligible to compete that semester. This is why it is important to confer with the Athletics Academic Coordinator and the Registrar before making any changes to schedule to ensure the student-athlete remains at the required percent of degree.

3. Must have an academic plan on file and approved by the NCAA Certification Officer (Registrar) designating a program of study leading toward a specific baccalaureate degree before competing during the third year (or fifth semester) of attendance so that the registrar can calculate percent of degree for that major. Student-athletes should declare this plan no later than the spring semester of their sophomore year (or fourth semester). Thereafter, credits earned must be in conformity with this plan. Each student’s academic summary is available on the Student Information System (SIS). SIS enables you to view your General Education requirements and research program selections online. This will help you better prepare your final academic plan.

Student-athletes are encouraged to meet often with the Registrar, Academic Advisor, the Athletics Academic Coordinator, and/or the Compliance Office to keep up on their eligibility and their progress toward graduation.

Academic Probation and Suspension

Academic standing as defined by UW-Green Bay is outlined in the UW-Green Bay Undergraduate Catalog. Refer to your current Undergraduate Catalog for the GPA requirements needed for a student to be in “good academic standing” and the actions needed to maintain this status.

A student needs to maintain a 2.0 GPA in order to be labeled in “good standing” academically. If one does not maintain a 2.0 GPA in a semester they will be placed on probation. If that student continues to fall below the 2.0 GPA mark in consecutive terms, you will be placed on strict probation. If the student has a third semester below a 2.0 GPA, that student will be placed on academic suspension. A student-athlete who has earned an academic suspension status will be immediately ineligible. He or she may appeal for permission to continue at UW-Green Bay on continued probation through the academic advising office. However, if such an academic exception is granted, the student-athlete may remain ineligible until he or she regains good academic standing. Appeals of any Green Bay Athletics eligibility policies shall be directed to the Intercollegiate Athletics Committee with Green Bay Athletics.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 44 - AMATEURISM

Only amateur student-athletes are eligible to participate in NCAA competition. A student- athlete could lose his or her “amateur” status if involved in any of the following actions:

• Accepts pay or a promise of pay for using his or her athletics ability or reputation. • Signs a contract or any other type of agreement to play professional athletics. • Competes on a professional team, even if no pay is received. • Enters into a professional draft or an oral or written agreement with an agent to negotiate a professional contract.

Be very careful about accepting any type of “award” based on your athletics ability, especially in any summer outside competition. Please check with the Compliance Office before signing or accepting anything.

FALL COMPLIANCE ORIENTATION

In addition to a student-athlete’s academic eligibility being certified under the requirements outlined above, each student-athlete (incoming freshmen, transfers, returning) must complete the following forms before being cleared to try out, practice, or compete:

1. NCAA Student-Athlete Statement 5. Horizon League Sportsmanship Pledge 2. NCAA Drug Testing Consent Form 6. Green Bay Athletics Drug Testing Form 3. NCAA HIPAA Consent Form 7. Green Bay Athletics Publicity Release 4. Horizon League Liability Waiver 8. Green Bay Athletics Liability Waiver

The Compliance Office will coordinate with each coach to schedule a Fall Student-Athlete Compliance Orientation before the start of the fall semester or pre-season practice (whichever is earlier) to have the student-athletes sign the above forms and to educate them on NCAA eligibility standards and other pertinent compliance information.

SUMMER SCHOOL TRANSFER CREDITS

A student-athlete who wishes to complete credits at another institution during the summer must have prior approval from the UW-Green Bay Registrar’s Office. The credit evaluator will determine if and how the credits will transfer to UW-Green Bay. Also, the student-athlete needs to inform the Compliance Office, because these credits will most likely impact eligibility.

It is the student-athlete’s responsibility to ensure that these approvals are obtained prior to enrollment off- campus. Student-athletes are responsible for the cost of courses at another institution.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 45 - TRANSFERS

A student who transfers to another institution is required to complete one full academic year of residence at the institution he/she transfers to before being eligible to compete for or to receive travel expenses from the institution unless he/she meets the conditions in bylaw 14.5.5.2.10 (One-Time Transfer Exception).

One-Time Transfer Exception The one-time transfer exception applies in all sports (other than Basketball) and allows a student-athlete to be immediately eligible for competition, practice, and athletics financial aid at the institution to which the student-athlete is transferring. The requirements for the one-time transfer exception under NCAA Bylaw 14.5.5.2.10 are as follows:

(a) The student is a participant in a sport other than baseball, basketball, bowl subdivision football or men's ice hockey at the institution to which the student is transferring. (b) The student has not transferred previously from one four-year institution unless, in the previous transfer, the student-athlete received an exception per Bylaw 14.5.5.2.6 (discontinued/nonsponsored sport exception); (c) At the time of transfer to the certifying institution (see Bylaw 14.5.2), the student would have been academically eligible had he or she remained at the institution from which the student transferred, except that he or she is not required to have fulfilled the necessary percentage-of-degree requirements at the previous institution; and (d) If the student is transferring from an NCAA or NAIA member institution, the student's previous institution shall certify in writing that it has no objection to the student being granted an exception to the transfer-residence requirement. If an institution receives a written request for a release from a student-athlete, the institution shall grant or deny the request within seven business days. If the institution fails to respond to the student-athlete's written request within seven business days, the release shall be granted by default and the institution shall provide a written release to the student-athlete.

NOTIFICATION OF TRANSFER

If a student-athlete desires to transfer, the student-athlete will initiate the transfer conversation with the compliance department within Athletics.

13.1.1.3.1 Notification of Transfer. A student-athlete may initiate the notification of transfer process by providing his or her institution with a written notification of transfer at any time. The student-athlete's institution shall enter his or her information into the national transfer database within two business days of receipt of a written notification of transfer from the student-athlete. The student-athlete will complete a transfer notification form that will serve as their official written notification of transfer, per NCAA Bylaw (Bylaw 13.1.1.3.1). By providing this notification, the Compliance Office will add the SA to the transfer database within two (2) business days. The SA can withdraw their name from the database at any time. By providing written notification of transfer the SA’s athletic scholarship will be cancelled at the end of the term, even if they withdraw my name from the database. By signing the form the SA understands that their coach is not obligated to keep me on the team or allow me to attend practice and/or competition. Although the SA does not need permission to contact other institutions, Green Bay may still choose to not support the one-time transfer exception. After providing the written notice of transfer, the following services will no longer be available to student-athlete:

- Academic Support - Access to the weight room - Training Room treatment and facilities - Access to the Student-Athlete Academic Success Center - Access to the Phoenix Nutrition Station - ID swipe access to the Kress Events Center - Locker room access - Media and marketing opportunities

A student-athlete who wishes to transfer from one NCAA member institution to another member institution must receive a written release from the Director of Athletics or his designee at the institution from which the student-athlete is transferring before being able to make contact with the institution to which the student-athlete wishes to transfer.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 46 - • If a release is granted and the student-athlete meets the conditions of the one- time transfer exception (above), the student-athlete will be immediately eligible for competition, practice, and athletics financial aid (except in the sport of Basketball where the student-athlete is ineligible for competition for one year) at his or her new institution. • If a release is not granted, the student-athlete will be eligible for practice, but will be ineligible for competition and financial aid for a one-year period at his or her new institution.

Permission to grant the one-time transfer exception is reviewed on a case-by-case basis and may be granted at the discretion of the Director of Athletics. If denied the transfer release, the student-athlete has the right to appeal the decision and will be notified of the appeals process. NCAA rules require that Green Bay provide the student- athlete with written notification and conduct a hearing within fifteen business days of receipt of the student-athletes written request. It is the policy of Green Bay Athletics to not grant a transfer release to an institution within the Horizon League for any student-athletes.

Transfer Policies

In accordance to Proposal No. 2015-38: An institution shall have written policies related to the process for a student-athlete to request permission to contact another institution about transfer, including a description of what services and benefits that will or will not be provided a student-athlete who requests permission to contact.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook -48 ATHLETICS FINANCIAL AID AGREEMENT

Green Bay Athletics offers athletics financial aid to those students who have shown a commitment to achieve academically and the ability and desire to compete at the Division I level. Athletics financial aid is offered to student-athletes at the discretion of each head coach with the consent and approval of the Director of Athletics or designee. Final approval of all athletics financial aid comes from the Financial Aid Director/designee within the guidelines prescribed by the NCAA.

All student-athletes who receive athletics financial aid must sign and return a grant-in-aid to the Compliance Office to receive the aid:

• All Initial grant-in-aids must be signed and returned by September 1. • All Renewal grant-in-aids must be signed and returned by July 1. If you have any additional questions about your financial aid please reach out directly to Kassie Batchelor or the Athletics Financial Aid Advisor, Sue Steeno, 920-465-2075 or visit the financial aid website: https://www.uwgb.edu/financial-aid/.

Period of Athletics Scholarships

The following NCAA Bylaw guides the Green Bay Athletics financial aid terms:

“If a student’s athletic ability is considered in any degree in awarding financial aid, such aid shall neither be awarded for a period less than one academic year nor for a period that would exceed the student’s five-year period of eligibility. One-year grants-in-aid shall be awarded in equal amounts for each term of the academic year.”

Renewals and Non-Renewals

Per NCAA Bylaw 15.3.3.1, all athletic scholarships are awarded for a period of one year.

To pursue a non-renewal or reduction of athletics financial aid, a coach must have the approval of his or her Sport Supervisor. With the approval, the Director of Athletics or his or her designee shall forward a recommendation of reduction/non-renewal to the Financial Aid Director/Designee. It is expected that this recommendation will be discussed with the student-athlete prior to forwarding it to the Financial Aid Office.

Reductions and Cancellations during the Period of Award

Per NCAA Bylaw 15.3.4.2 Institutional financial aid based in any degree on athletics ability may be reduced or canceled during the period of the award if the recipient:

1. Renders himself or herself ineligible for intercollegiate competition; 2. Fraudulently misrepresents any information on an application, letter of intent or financial aid agreement; 3. Engages in serious misconduct warranting substantial disciplinary penalty; or * 15.3.4.2.4 Misconduct. An institution may cancel or reduce the financial aid of a student- athlete who is found to have engaged in misconduct by the university's regular student disciplinary authority, even if the loss-of-aid requirement does not apply to the student body in general. 4. Voluntarily (on his or her own initiative) withdraws from a sport at any time for personal Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 49 - reasons. A student-athlete’s request for written permission to contact another four-year collegiate institution regarding a possible transfer does not constitute a voluntary withdrawal.

The University shall not reduce or cancel a student-athlete’s aid during the period of award for any of the following reasons:

1. On the basis of a student-athlete’s athletics ability, performance or contribution to a team’s success; 2. Because of an injury, illness, or physical or mental medical condition (except as permitted pursuant to Bylaw 15.3.4.2);

Reductions and Cancellations between Award Years

The Financial Aid Office, under the advisement of the Athletics Department, shall notify the student-athlete of the reduction or cancellation of their Athletics Aid in writing by July 1 of the awarding year based on NCAA bylaw 15.3.5.1

The written notification will contain information on how the student can appeal the decision and the student’s right to a hearing before the Athletic Awards Appeals Board. The function of the Appeals Board is to act as a hearing body to assess information provided by the Athletics Department and by the student relative to the provisions of NCAA Manual 15.3.5 and 15.3.2.3 and determine if the student non-renewal or reduction of their athletic financial aid award is justified. If a hearing is requested it will be conducted either in-person or conference call, but will not include any legal representation from either party. Parents can be present as guests only and will not be allowed to provide any information to the Athletic Appeals Board unless requested by the Board. The full Reduction/Non-renewal policy can be provided to a student-athlete upon request.

Other Countable Financial Aid

NCAA regulations limit the amount of financial aid a student-athlete may receive during the academic year. Contributions from parents and employment earnings are excluded from this limit; however, federal and institutional grants, loans, and scholarships may be countable financial aid in addition to athletics financial aid.

A full grant-in-aid limit as determined by the Financial Aid Office is the maximum amount allowed to be awarded. If the total amount received exceeds the maximum limitations, you may then be required to repay the excess amount, and your eligibility along with your squad’s record may be in jeopardy. Therefore, if you are receiving any money in addition to your athletics financial aid, it is important to disclose this to the Compliance Office and the Financial Aid Office immediately.

NON-TRADITIONAL ATHLETICS AID (J-TERM/SUMMER AND FIFTH- YEAR)

The academic success of student-athletes is a priority of the Athletics Department. In an effort to support its student-athletes, the Athletics Department provides a majority of its student-athletes with athletics aid during the academic year. In addition to academic year aid, student-athletes may be eligible to receive athletics aid during summer session(s) and/or their fifth year. Non-traditional financial aid is not guaranteed. A student-athlete may apply for the following aid:

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 50 - 1. Two semesters of aid for fifth year; OR 2. Two years of j-term/summer session aid and one semester of Fifth Year aid; OR 3. Three or four years of j-term/summer session aid.

A student-athlete must apply for j-term/ summer session and fifth year aid. In his or her application, a student-athlete must demonstrate how athletics aid will assist him or her with completion of his or her degree. The Athletics Department will review each application on a case-by-case basis and make a determination on whether to provide summer session and/or fifth year aid.

J-Term/Summer School and Fifth-Year aid covers In-State Tuition only unless otherwise determined by the Director of Athletics.

J-Term/Summer Session

The following are criteria considered for awarding summer session athletics aid in order of priority:

1. Maintenance of Academic Eligibility 2. NCAA eligibility 3. Accelerate graduation 4. Course offerings/availability 5. Potential at risk students for fall semester (incoming freshman)

Any student-athlete who wants to enroll in j-term or summer school and receive financial assistance from the Athletics Department must submit a J-TERM ATHLETICS AID REQUEST FORM by November 30th or a SUMMER ATHLETICS AID REQUEST FORM by March 31st of each year. Request forms will be reviewed by the Compliance. Requests for j-term or summer school financial aid must be based on at least one of the above criteria. A student-athlete will be informed if his or her request for athletics aid is approved or denied.

In order to receive j-term or summer school financial aid, a student-athlete must have been on an athletics scholarship the previous academic year or a student-athlete who will be receiving athletics aid during the upcoming academic year. NCAA rules state that j-term and summer session financial aid must be based on the percentage of aid received in the previous academic year.

A maximum of 6 credit hours will be covered by athletics aid, unless eligibility status dictates more hours.

A student-athlete who withdraws from a summer session after the deadline for dropping a course or fails a course will be responsible for the following:

1. Payment of any late drop fees incurred. 2. Reimbursement to the University for the cost of tuition for the dropped class. 3. Reimbursement for any additional aid provided by the Athletics Department for books, room, and board that was provided by the Athletics Department.

In addition, if a student-athlete fails a summer course, the student-athlete will need to repay the Athletics Department for that course.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 51 - Fifth Year

The following are criteria considered for awarding fifth year athletics aid:

1. Whether the student-athlete has exhausted his/her eligibility. 2. Whether the student-athlete has previously received summer session aid. 3. Effects on individual sport program financial aid budget and/or equivalency numbers. 4. Applicability of chosen classes to the student-athlete’s progress toward degree/graduation. 5. Student-Athletes representation of the institution and program during previous years.

Any student-athlete who wants to enroll in classes for his/her fifth year and receive financial assistance from the Athletics Department must submit a FIFTH YEAR ATHLETICS AID REQUEST FORM. Request forms will be reviewed by the Compliance Office.

Student-athletes who are currently receiving financial aid, are exhausting their eligibility this academic year, and need an additional year (fifth year) to complete their degree can apply for fifth-year financial aid. In order to receive fifth year financial aid, a student-athlete must have been on athletics aid the previous academic year. Fifth-year financial aid is not guaranteed, however student-athletes who are granted aid will be assigned a work commitment (internship) within the Athletics Department, approximately 10 hours a week. In order to be eligible for fifth-year aid, student-athletes need to be enrolled fulltime, and otherwise academically eligible unless they are in their final semester before graduation. Aid awarded for a 5th year request, will ONLY be in-state tuition and fees.

A student-athlete who withdraws from a class after the deadline for dropping a course will be responsible for payment of any late drop fees incurred.

Once a student-athlete has exhausted his/her eligibility, he/she will be considered a “Fifth Year” student- athlete. So for example, if a student-athlete from a spring sport initially enrolls at UW-Green Bay in the spring semester, he/she could exhaust eligibility during the 7th semester and could be considered a fifth year student-athlete during his/her 9th semester (fall).

Study Abroad/Exchange Policies

Due to the nature of the study abroad/student exchange programs at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, only student-athletes who are Spanish Education majors are able to receive athletics aid to cover a study abroad/exchange experience. The only program that will be covered by athletics aid is the Leon, Spain program.

Please note that a student-athlete who enters into a study abroad/student exchange program without the approval of the head coach and the director of athletics may have their aid reduced or cancelled.

OTHER FORMS OF FINANCIAL AID

In addition to athletic aid, student-athletes are encouraged to apply for other federal and state financial aid through the annual FAFSA application (Free Application for Federal Student Aid – www.fafsa.gov ).

The UW-Green Bay Financial Aid Office can assist student-athletes in applying for and understanding the financial aid process. They can also assist with money management and budgeting questions students may

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 52 - have. Contact the Financial Aid Office at 920-465-2075, [email protected], or stop in to see them in Student Services SS1100.

Types of Aid

Through the FAFSA application, students will be considered for all types of federal and state financial aid programs including:

• Grants: Gift aid provided to students with financial need. The funds do not need to be repaid. • Work Study: Provides opportunities for needy undergraduate and graduate students to earn money to help pay for educational expenses. • Student Loans: Aid that must be paid back with interest.

More detailed information on the types of financial aid that may be available to students as well as other funding options can be found at http://www.uwgb.edu/financial-aid/types/

Disbursement of Federal/State Financial Aid

Once a student is awarded financial aid, funds are disbursed regularly throughout the semester, and the money will be applied to the student’s balance due at the Bursar’s Office. Any excess aid (aid above what is owed by the student) will be provided to the student in the form of a refund check available for pick up by the student with a photo ID, or electronic refund (if set up by the student) to the bank account designated by the student. Refunds are typically available two days after disbursement of aid.

If a student-athlete is receiving Federal Direct Loans and has not borrowed from the program in the past, he/she must complete two steps in order to secure the funds:

1. Loan Entrance Counseling: learn about the Direct Loan program and a borrower’s rights and responsibilities. 2. A Federal Direct Master Promissory Note: the legal document promising repayment of the loan.

Both of these steps can be completed by going to www.studentloans.gov and logging in with the student’s FAFSA pin number.

Private Scholarships

Many student-athletes apply for and are awarded private scholarships through their high schools, communities or other organizations. Due to NCAA limitations on an athlete’s aid eligibility and sources of assistance, caution should be taken before accepting these awards. All outside (private) sources of educational funding must be reported to the Green Bay Athletics Compliance Office. In order to determine a student-athlete’s eligibility for such an award, the Athletics Compliance Office will request additional information. This may include copies of the application, website information and awarding criteria. Failure to report such outside assistance could result in the loss of all NCAA eligibility for the student-athlete.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 53 - STUDENT-ATHLETE EMPLOYMENT

Earnings from a student-athlete’s on- or off-campus employment that occurs at any time is not counted in determining a student-athlete’s full grant-in-aid or in the institution’s financial aid limitations, provided:

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 or she has obtained because of athletics ability; 2. The student-athlete is compensated only for work actually performed; and 3. The student-athlete is compensated at a rate commensurate with the going rate in that locality for similar services.

Before you begin any employment, you need to complete a STUDENT-ATHLETE EMPLOYMENT FORM with the Compliance Office.

MANAGER

Forms can be found in the Athletic Department. Prior discussion and approval from the coach is necessary.

NCAA Bylaw 11.01.7 A manager is an individual who performs traditional managerial duties (e.g., equipment, laundry, hydration) and meets the following additional criteria:

(a) The individual shall be a full-time undergraduate or graduate student (see Bylaws 14.2.2 and 14.2.2.1.5), except that during his or her final semester or quarter of a degree program, he or she may be enrolled in less than a full-time program of studies, provided he or she is carrying (for credit) the courses necessary to complete the degree requirements; (b) The individual may participate in limited on-court or on-field activities during practice (e.g., assist with drills, throw batting practice) or competition (e.g., assist with warm-up activities) involving student- athletes on a regular basis; (c) The individual shall not provide instruction to student-athletes; and (d) The individual shall not participate in countable athletically related activities (e.g., practice player) except as permitted in Bylaw 11.01.7-(b). * In order to hold the role of manager or maintain the role as a manager for the designated team, you must be in at least 12 credits and hold a 2.0 cumulative GPA. Students are allotted four years to represent the University of Wisconsin- Green Bay in the manager position, unless an exception is made by the Athletic Department to allow he/she a fifth year opportunity.

FAN POLICY

In order to ensure student-athlete safety and well-being, Green Bay Athletics has created a fan policy, which is in effect for all ticketed sports. At the conclusion of the event, participating student-athletes will be ushered into a select location where family and friends will be escorted to greet them by Kress Events Center staff. Only family and friends with the appropriate credentials will be allowed into the greeting area. Those on the pass list and any additional names given by the student-athlete to the Director of Ticketing, will be given credentials; all names must be submitted 24 hours prior. Athletic staff will review the list of names prior to the start of the event. Following the competition, student-athletes will be asked to leave the arena out the south side of the Kress Events Center gym doors (located by the concession stands). Failure to follow this policy by student-athletes, staff, and guests will result in the removal of complementary tickets.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 54 - GREEN BAY ATHLETICS PLAYING & PRACTICE SEASONS

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook

- 55 PLAYING AND PRACTICE SEASONS RULES AND REGULATIONS

The lengths of playing seasons, when practices may begin and end for the season, when the first contest can be played, and how many hours and days per week student-athletes may participate in athletics activities are all areas governed by the NCAA and institutional rules. The lengths of playing seasons are sport-specific. What activities and the number of hours that these activities can be conducted are dependent upon whether a sport is considered in-season or out-of-season. Please note that student- athletes may not miss class to participate in workouts or other types of practice activities. They can miss class for travel to competitions during their season and for practices in conjunction with those away competitions.

In-Season

• Practice, competition, or other countable athletically-related activities (CARA) (team meetings, watching game film, required weight/conditioning workouts, etc.) may not exceed 20 hours per week. Everything around a “competition” (shoot around, walk through, team meal, scouting report, competition) is counted as 3 hours regardless of the actual time. • Things like study table, recruit visits, academic meetings, recruit visits, compliance meetings are not countable activities. It is important to know the difference between countable and non-countable activities. • Activities may not exceed 4 hours in one day when classes are in session. • Student-athletes must have at least one calendar day off from athletically-related activities each week (a “week” is defined as each seven-day period from Sunday through the following Saturday). • Coaches are required by NCAA rules to document hours during which required activities are conducted. • CARA activities during preseason or vacation periods that take place in-season (soccer in August, basketball over winter break) do not have to be documented nor do they have to meet the above criteria.

Out-of-Season

• Athletically-related activities (workouts, team meetings, etc.) may not exceed 8 hours per week. • In all sports, the maximum number of hours (within the 8 permitted) of skill-related instruction per week may not exceed 4 hours. • Student-athletes must have at least two calendar days off from athletically-related activities each week (a “week” is defined as each seven-day period from Sunday through the following Saturday). • All athletically-related activities are prohibited from one week prior to the beginning of final exams until after the last scheduled final exam. • Coaches are required by NCAA rules to document hours during which required activities are conducted.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 56 -

Vacation Periods – Outside of a Sport’s Playing Season (Summer Break, winter break)

• Student-athletes cannot be required to participate in weight-training and conditioning activities held under the supervision of coaches or other departmental staff members during the summer except for basketball during its Summer Activities period. • Student-athletes may voluntarily participate in strength and conditioning activities conducted only by the department’s strength and conditioning coach. Summer practices cannot be organized or supervised by staff members. The one exception to this is basketball during its Summer Activities period. In individual sports only (Tennis, Cross Country, Golf, Swimming & Diving, and Skiing), a coach may participate in individual workout sessions with student-athletes from the coach’s team if the request is initiated by the student-athletes.

Participation in Outside Competition

A student-athlete in any sport who participates as a member of any outside team in any non-collegiate, amateur competition during the academic year becomes ineligible for intercollegiate competition in that sport for the remainder of the year and for the next academic year.

Student-athletes may compete on an outside team during any official vacation period, provided such competition is during a period outside of the playing season. All basketball outside competition must be approved in advance by the Compliance Office because basketball can only compete in NCAA approved events. Basketball student-athletes much complete an OUTSIDE COMPETITION APPROVAL FORM and turn into the Compliance Office before competing to ensure they are not compromising your eligibility.

For sports other than basketball, student-athletes are not required to complete an OUTSIDE COMPETITION APPROVAL FORM, however they should communicate information on the competition to the Head Coach and Compliance Office to make sure it follows NCAA rules as well as make sure they do not accept any prizes or prize money. The number of currently enrolled student- athletes from any one school participating on the same outside team is limited by sport as follows:

• Soccer (5) • Softball (4) • Volleyball (2) • Basketball (2) – basketball student-athletes may compete only in summer NCAA- sanctioned leagues or events.

In individual sports, there are no limits on the number of student-athletes from the same school who may participate on the same outside team during the summer, however each sport association has different amateur rules that are stricter than the NCAA so those student-athletes should confer with their coach.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 57 - GREEN BAY ATHLETICS BOOSTERS, EXTRA BENEFITS & AGENTS

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 58 - EXTRA BENEFIT (NCAA BYLAW 16.02.3)

An extra benefit is any special arrangement by a UW-Green Bay employee or booster to provide a student-athlete or the student-athlete’s relative or friend a benefit not expressly authorized by NCAA legislation.

Receipt of a benefit by student-athletes or their relatives or friends is not a violation of NCAA legislation if it is demonstrated that the same benefit is generally available to the institution’s students or their relatives or friends or to a particular segment of the student body (e.g., international students, minority students) determined on a basis unrelated to athletics ability.

Agents

A student-athlete shall be ineligible for participation in an intercollegiate sport if he or she ever has agreed (orally or in writing) to be represented by an agent for the purpose of marketing his or her athletics ability or reputation in that sport. Further, an agency contract not specifically limited in writing to a sport or particular sports shall be deemed applicable to all sports, and the individual shall be ineligible to participate in any sport.

A student-athlete shall also be ineligible if he or she enters into a verbal or written agreement with an agent for representation in future professional sports negotiations that are to take place after the individual has completed his or her eligibility in that sport.

Similarly, a student-athlete who signs a contract or commitment that does not become binding until the professional organization's representative or agent also signs the document is ineligible, even if the contract remains unsigned by the other parties until after the student-athlete's eligibility is exhausted.

A student-athlete shall be ineligible if he or she (or his or her relatives or friends) accepts any benefits not expressly authorized by the NCAA from:

• Any person who represents any individual in the marketing of his or her athletics ability. The receipt of such expenses constitutes compensation based on athletics skill and is an extra benefit not available to the student body in general. • An agent, even if the agent has indicated that he or she has no interest in representing the student-athlete in the marketing of his or her athletics ability or reputation and does not represent individuals in the student-athlete's sport.

However, a student-athlete may request information about professional market value without affecting his or her amateur status.

Further, the student-athlete, his or her legal guardians, or UW-Green Bay’s professional sports counseling panel may enter into negotiations with a professional sports organization without the loss of the student-athlete’s amateur status.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 59 Similarly, securing advice from a lawyer concerning a proposed professional sports contract shall not be considered contracting for representation by an agent under this rule, unless the lawyer also represents the individual in negotiations for such a contract.

In general it is best to include the Compliance Office and coaching staff in any discussions involving agents.

Complimentary Admissions for Student-Athlete’s Sport

A student-athlete, regardless of whether he or she competes in the contest, may receive a maximum of 4 complimentary admissions per home or away intercollegiate athletics event in the sport in which the student-athlete participates (based on availability).

A student-athlete and/or individual designated by the student-athlete to receive a complimentary admission may not receive any type of payment, exchange, or value for the complimentary admission. Complimentary admissions shall be provided only through a pass list ("hard tickets" shall not be issued) through the following procedure:

1. The student-athlete shall present the names of the users of his or her complimentary admissions to the Director of Ticketing, who will create the pass list. 2. The individuals using the complimentary admissions must present identification to the ticketing personnel supervising the use of the pass list. 3. The individuals shall then be provided an already ripped/scanned ticket stub or other identification of a specified reserved seat or seating area or treated as a general- admission ticket holder. 4. Complimentary ticket requests must be placed at least 24 hours prior to the date of competition either on JumpForward or in person with the Director to Ticketing. Complimentary Admissions to Other Green Bay Athletics Contests

All currently enrolled UW-Green Bay students (including student-athletes) are eligible to receive free admission to any Green Bay Athletics contest with a valid student ID.

Extra Benefits Not Allowed to Student-Athletes

Boosters are not allowed to provide student-athletes with Extra Benefits. Prohibited benefits to student-athletes include, but not limited to:

• Discounts and Credits. A student-athlete may not receive a special discount, payment arrangement or credit on a purchase (e.g., airline ticket, clothing), or a service (e.g., laundry, dry cleaning) from a UW-Green Bay employee or booster. • Free or Reduced-Cost Services. A UW-Green Bay employee or booster may not provide a student-athlete with professional services (for which a fee normally would be charged) without charge or at a reduced cost. Professional services provided at less than the normal rate or at no expense to a student-athlete are considered an extra benefit unless they are available on the same basis to the general student body.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 60 • Telephones and Credit Cards. It is not permissible for a UW-Green Bay employee or booster to allow a student-athlete to use a telephone or credit card for personal reasons without charge or at a reduced cost. • Entertainment Services. A student-athlete may not receive services (e.g., movie tickets, dinners, use of car) from commercial agencies (e.g., movie theaters, restaurants, car dealers) without charge or at reduced rates, or free or reduced-cost admission to professional athletics contests from professional sports organizations, unless such services also are available to the student body in general. • Other Prohibited Benefits. A UW-Green Bay employee or booster may not provide a student-athlete with extra benefits or services, including, but not limited to:

o A loan of money. o A guarantee of bond. o An automobile or the use of an automobile. o Signing or cosigning a note with an outside agency to arrange a loan. o Transportation (e.g., a ride home with a coach or booster), except as permitted in NCAA Bylaw 16.9.1-(f), even if the student-athlete reimburses the staff member or booster for the appropriate amount of the gas or expense.

Occasional Meal

With prior approval by the Compliance Office, a student-athlete may receive an occasional meal on infrequent and special occasions under the following circumstances:

• From a UW-Green Bay staff member in the locale of UW-Green Bay (i.e., at a local restaurant, at the UW-Green Bay staff member’s home). • From a booster in that booster’s home or on-campus or in a Green Bay athletics facility (i.e., the meal cannot be at a restaurant, but it can be catered in the booster’s home). We would like boosters to arrange meals with the coaching staff rather than with the student-athletes. • A Green Bay staff member or coach must accompany the student-athlete on the occasional meal.

If you are approached by someone offering you a meal, please make sure to get prior approval from your coaching staff and the Compliance Office; otherwise this meal is an extra benefit and will affect your eligibility.

RECOGNITION AND BENEFITS

Individuals who are not rostered members of a Green Bay Athletics team are not at liberty to receive academic or athletic recognition benefits provided by the NCAA, Horizon League, and Green Bay Athletics.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 61 Representatives of Green Bay Athletics Interests (Boosters)

Representatives of Green Bay Athletics’ interests (aka boosters) are an important part of the success of the Athletics Department. A booster is identified as any individual (person, entity, or organization) that falls into one or more of the following categories:

Has ever made financial contribution to the athletics department or to an athletics booster organization such as the Phoenix Fund or its booster club subsets. 3. Including but not limited to: season ticket holder for any sport program, former student-athlete (alum), parents of student-athletes, etc. 4. Has ever employed or helped arrange employment for a current student-athlete or prospective student-athlete. 5. Is otherwise involved in promoting the Athletics Department.

Once an individual meets one or more of these criteria and becomes a Green Bay Athletics booster, that individual remains a booster indefinitely and falls under the guidelines below.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 62 GREEN BAY ATHLETICS ON-CAMPUS RECRUIT VISIT POLICY

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 63 GREEN BAY ATHLETICS CAMPUS VISIT POLICY

This policy establishes guidelines within which Green Bay Athletics prospective student- athlete visits will be conducted. The framework of this policy has been established using rules set forth by the NCAA. As representatives of UW-Green Bay and Green Bay Athletics, student-athletes, coaches, and staff members are expected to conduct themselves ethically and consistent with the UW-Green Bay mission and purpose.

In hosting a prospective student-athlete official visit, the NCAA permits an institution to provide entertainment to a prospective student-athlete (and parents or guardians) at a scale comparable to that of normal student life and that is not excessive in nature. Student- athletes, coaches, and staff may not arrange or permit excessive entertainment of a prospective student-athlete (or parents or guardians) on the campus or elsewhere. In addition, encouraging, arranging, or permitting the participation of a prospective student- athlete in any of the following activities is strictly prohibited:

• Use of drugs/alcohol (regardless of the prospective student-athlete’s age). • Sexual activity and/or use of strippers. • Gambling/gaming. • Any other activities that violate criminal law.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook - 67 SPORTS MEDICINE

Green Bay Sports Medicine, and its Athletic Trainers provided by Prevea Health, is committed to our mission of providing patient-centered care to the student-athletes of Green Bay through compassion, communication, prevention, and effective treatment management. Our Sports Medicine department consists of four Athletic Trainers who are certified by the Board of Certification for Athletic Trainers and licensed by the State of Wisconsin. With the support of our Team Physicians, and the entire Prevea Health System, our Athletic Trainers are prepared to meet all medical needs of our student- athletes. Guiding Principles • Embrace ideas to improve ourselves and those we serve • Commit to providing patient-centered care • In all situations, consider how our actions will benefit the student-athlete • Consider our priority services when challenges arise • Empower, educate, and trust others to improve engagement and understanding Sports Medicine Philosophy and Objectives The partnership between Prevea and UW-Green Bay embodies a commitment to patient care and education for our student-athletes. • The health of the student-athlete shall always be our first consideration. By allowing student-athletes timely access to our sports medicine services and by placing a high value on health and wellness, we will reduce the risk of athletic injury while assisting injured student-athletes to a medically safe return to competition. • We will continually evaluate our program to ensure our student-athletes have the highest quality sports medicine care. • We will address problems and concerns regarding the Sports Medicine Department in a timely manner to ensure the needs of our student-athletes are continually met.

Our Sports Medicine team uses Prevea’s vast network of providers to provide care to the student- athlete. The primary staff serving Green Bay Athletics consists of Athletic Trainers, Strength Coaches, Sports Medicine Team Physicians and Orthopedic Team Physicians. We also use the partnership to provide physical therapy services, nutritional support, mental health and wellness support, and access to other specialty medical providers. Our Medical Director provides oversight to the Sports Medicine Program and its staff. Athletic Trainers and Team Physicians have unchallenged and autonomous authority of a student-athlete’s care including medical management and all return-to-play decisions, without interference from coaches or administrators. Medical Care Green Bay Sports Medicine strives to be an extensive sports medicine program. Our goal is to prevent injuries whenever possible and to offer a treatment and rehabilitation program when necessary. The Sports Medicine staff has a personal interest in each student-athlete and his/her well-being. Student-athletes must report all injuries or illnesses (including those not athletically related) that might interfere with their ability to practice or participate in their sport to the Staff Athletic Trainers. If the injury occurred during practice or competition, the student-athlete should see the team’s Athletic

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook -68 Trainer as soon as possible. At that time, an evaluation is performed to determine the extent of his/her injury and his/her ability to practice or compete that day or in the future. If necessary, referral to a team physician may be made. Green Bay Athletics or Prevea Health are not responsible for the medical consequences and/or financial liability incurred by student-athletes who obtain treatment that has not been preauthorized by the Head Athletic Trainer or Team Physician. While the sports medicine program is responsible for the treatment of only athletically related injuries and illnesses, it is important that the staff be notified of any injury or illness that might affect sports participation.

Incoming injuries The Medical Director may restrict full participation for any incoming student-athlete that reports to practice with an injury that restricts their participation. Services provided for incoming injuries will not be eligible to use the Athletic Department’s Excess Insurance Policy. Surgical issue Incoming student-athletes with current post-surgical issues that restrict their participation must provide documentation from their treating physician regarding their plan of care. In order for the Staff Athletic Trainers to begin a treatment plan for a post-surgical issue, we will need:

• Approval for treatment from the Green Bay Sports Medicine Medical Director • Prescription for therapy from treating physician and/or surgeon, including limitations • Documentation or notes detailing the plan of care since initial injury

Staff Athletic Trainers may refer the student-athlete to formal physical therapy depending on the severity of the post-surgical issues. This physical therapy will not be eligible to us the Athletic Department’s Excess Insurance Policy. Non-surgical issue Incoming student-athletes who come in with a non-surgical injury, must be cleared for participation by the Green Bay Sports Medicine Medical Directory. If the injury is being managed by a provider prior to the student-athlete’s arrival in Green Bay, documentation and ongoing plan of care from that provider and approval for treatment from the Green Bay Sports Medicine Medical Director will be needed before further treatment from a Staff Athletic Trainer. If the incoming injury is not being treated by a provider, Staff Athletic Trainers will need permission from the Green Bay Sports Medicine Medical Director to begin a plan of care. If the issue needs services beyond those that can be provided in the Athletic Training Room, the student-athlete is responsible for payment of those services and the Athletic Department’s Excess Insurance Policy cannot be used.

Non-athletic related injuries Green Bay Sports Medicine’s Medical Director must approve all treatment provided to a student- athlete for a non-athletic related injury. If the issue needs services beyond those that can be provided in the Athletic Training Room, the student-athlete is responsible for payment of those services and the Athletic Department’s Excess Insurance Policy cannot be used. The Staff Athletic Trainers will not provide treatment for issues resulting from a motor vehicle accident or other issue where litigation may be involved. The Staff Athletic Trainers reserve the right to refuse treatment for any non-athletic related injury based on the circumstances of its onset.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook -69 Athletic Training Room The Athletic Training Room is a medical facility to be used only by UW-Green Bay’s student-athletes. Hours of operation will be posted outside of the Athletic Training Room. During general hours, all student-athletes are able to receive injury/illness evaluation, treatment, or rehabilitation with priority given to relative practice schedules. The Athletic Training Room may be open other hours (evenings or weekends) to accommodate team practices or events, but an Athletic Trainer will not be available for general injury evaluation, treatment, or evaluation. No student-athlete may be in the Athletic Training Room without the supervision of an Athletic Trainer. Other rules are posted in the Athletic Training Room. It is the student-athlete’s responsibility to know and follow those rules. We reserve the right to refuse or remove student-athletes from the facility based on their behavior or compliance with instruction. These issues may be reported to the Athletic Department for possible disciplinary actions.

Athletic Training Room Access All current and competing student-athletes are able to use the Athletic Training Room. Student-athletes who have completed eligibility but remain in school at UW-Green Bay may use the Athletic Training Room under the following conditions:

• Injury sustained when eligible: we will provide treatment and rehabilitation, outside services will be covered by the Excess Insurance Policy • New, post-eligibility injury, not athletically related: we will provide first aid only and pay no costs associated with injury • Illness: we will provide first aid and consultation only, and pay no costs associated with illness • Injury sustained in the Spring Semester after completing eligibility in the previous Fall Semester can be treated in the Athletic Training Room if the issue was a result of approved team related athletic activity. Eligibility of the injury to be covered by the Athletic Department’s Excess Insurance will be determined based on the circumstances of the issue and coverage is not guaranteed.

Insurance Each student-athlete is required to have primary insurance coverage that meets the minimum requirements set by the NCAA before being able to participate in any athletic activity. An insurance Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook -70 card and completed Insurance Information Form must be on file in the Athletic Training Room prior to any athletic related activity. Insurance information must be provided before each fall semester. At any time a student-athlete’s insurance changes, they must inform Green Bay Sports Medicine immediately. The Athletic Department purchases an Excess Insurance Policy (EIP) for our student-athletes. The EIP provides coverage for injuries occurring as a result of participating in sanctioned athletic activity. Green Bay Sports Medicine will follow the provisions of the EIP when determining eligibility of a claim. Illnesses, pre-existing conditions, routine medical care, or non-athletic injuries, will not be covered by the EIP. Claims to our EIP can be denied if the student-athlete is non-compliant in their care of the injury, proceeds with care or procedures not approved by our Medical Director or Director of Sports Medicine, or other misuse of the policy as deemed by the Director of Sports Medicine. The EIP cannot be used to cover the cost of medications. Second opinions can be covered by the EIP if approved by the Medical Director or Director of Sports Medicine. Our EIP is offered on an "excess" basis to the participant’s required primary health insurance policy. Under this provision, the plan will always pay secondary to any other valid and collectible health insurance plan for approved claims. Therefore, in the event of an eligible injury, the treating provider will submit the medical claims directly to the primary health insurance plan first. If there are any remaining balances, this amount is submitted to the EIP. In a typical situation, an Athletic Trainer will provide the student-athlete with an insurance card to take to the health care provider indicating the EIP’s coverage. Please note that it remains Department policy that all student-athletes maintain their own primary health insurance. Our EIP will not be a substitute for any primary insurance! Health History All first-year student-athletes (freshman or transfers) must complete an Incoming Health History Form prior to any athletic related activity. On this form, the student-athlete will report his or her health history and any important medical information. The completed Health History Form should be brought to his or her personal physician to review before receiving a pre-participation exam (physical). Returning student-athletes must complete a Returning Health History Form. This form will be used to report all medical issues sustained during the past year. Returning student-athletes do not need a physical unless directed by their Athletic Trainer. Pre-Participation Exams (Physicals)

All first year student-athletes (freshman or transfers) must receive a pre-participation exam (physical) by their personal physician within 6 months of starting athletic activity at UW-Green Bay. We will not accept a pre-participation exam completed by chiropractors. No student-athlete will be allowed to participate in athletic related activity until a completed exam is on record with the Head Athletic Trainer. In some cases, a student-athlete may not be cleared for participation despite being cleared by their personal physician, due to pending results of certain diagnostic tests or anomalies found by the Sports Medicine Staff. No student-athlete will be able to participate until those issues are satisfactorily completed to our Team Physician. After the initial pre-participation exam, additional exams are only required at the direction of the Head Athletic Trainer. A Green Bay Staff Athletic Trainer will notify a returning student-athlete directly if they need an updated physical. Green Bay Sports Medicine will assist any incoming student-athlete in receiving a pre-participation exam, but they cannot be paid for by our Excess Insurance Policy.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook -71 Required Paperwork

Each fall, the following items must be completed and on file in the Athletic Training Room:

Freshmen and Transfer Student-Athletes: • Incoming Health History Form • Pre-Participation Exam Form • Insurance Information page on SportsWare • Copy of insurance card, front and back • Medication Reporting Form • FERPA/HIPAA Form • Sickle Cell Trait test confirmation or refusal waiver (not in Sportsware)

Returning Student-Athletes: • Returning Student-Athlete Health History Form (no physical is necessary) • Insurance Information page on SportsWare • Copy of insurance card, front and back • Medication Reporting Form

All required paperwork is available through the student-athlete’s SportsWare account unless otherwise noted. All student-athletes receive information from the Sports Medicine Department on how to complete the required information on SportsWare. Contact your athletic trainer for additional information.

Team Athletic Training Coverage Each team will have a primary Athletic Trainer assigned to them. When possible, student-athletes may utilize their primary Athletic Trainer when in need of any medical care, whether injury or illness. Following our patient-centered care principles, student-athletes are free to see any of our athletic trainers they feel most comfortable with.

Reporting Injuries and Illness Each student-athlete is responsible for reporting any injuries or illnesses to their primary Athletic Trainer immediately. Only the Sports Medicine Staff may provide a medical referral to a student- athlete for an athletic related injury or illness. The only acceptable instance when a student-athlete may seek a medical referral is in the event of an emergency and an Athletic Trainer is unavailable. In this circumstance, the student-athlete should contact their Athletic Trainer as soon as possible to inform them of the situation. In the event a student-athlete refers himself or herself for medical attention without consulting a member of the Sports Medicine Staff, that referral may not be eligible for payment by our EIP. Orders given by a physician or chiropractor that was not referred by a staff Athletic Trainer may be overridden at the discretion of Green Bay Sports Medicine.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook -72 Injury Evaluation, Treatment and Rehabilitation Student-athletes are expected to make and report to all appointments with Sports Medicine Staff. Coaches may be notified of a student-athlete’s non-compliance with treatment plans or missed appointments. All decisions regarding participation status will be made by the Sports Medicine Staff after consultation with the Team Physicians, student-athlete and their coach.

Appointments with your Athletic Trainer are expected. To get the best available care, appointments allow your Athletic Trainer to have time directly devoted to your issue. Walk-in requests for care may be subject to long waits, or may be asked to come back at another time.

Medical Referrals and Procedures Green Bay Sports Medicine will schedule any medical referrals or procedures (x-rays, MRI, CT scans, etc.) needed by a student-athlete. When setting up an appointment with our team of Health Care Professionals, our Athletic Trainers typically get our student-athletes expedited appointment times. In order to maintain the important relationships with these providers, student-athletes are expected to arrive on time for all medical referrals and procedures. Student-athletes should contact their Athletic Trainer if they cannot arrange a ride to an off-campus appointment. Coaches should not be an option for a student-athlete searching for a ride. Other Medical Services

In addition to providing our student-athletes athletic training coverage, UW-Green Bay Sports Medicine also provides other medical services on-campus. Any of these complementary services are available by speaking with your team’s Athletic Trainer.

Athletic Training Room Physician’s Clinic

Our Team Physicians will conduct clinic in the Athletic Training Room 2-4 times per month. Student- athletes must sign up with their Athletic Trainer to be seen by the Team Physicians.

Chiropractic Care

Our Team Chiropractor will be in the Athletic Training Room one afternoon per week to evaluate back pain, as well as perform spinal adjustments.

Wellness Visits

We have partnered with campus Counseling and Health Services to have a Wellness Councilor visit the Athletic Training Room each week to discuss wellness or mental health topics with student-athletes in a private, one-on-one setting.

Massage Therapy

A massage therapist will be available four times per month, six hours at a time to visits to provide massage therapy. Appointments are open to all student-athletes, with priority given to those who are in- season and those who are injured.

Green Bay Athletics Student-Athlete Handbook -73 STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING

Green Bay student-athletes have services year-round in their pursuit of their peak performance. Highly-structured, disciplined plans are in place to suit all of Green Bay's student-athletes.

Student athletes utilize the facilities at the $33 million Kress Events Center, which opened in 2007. Green Bay student-athletes train in the Kress Center's 14,000 square foot weight room, which includes new, state-of-the-art equipment. During the off-season, teams participate in agility training and weight programs designed specifically for each sport.

The goal of Green Bay's strength and conditioning program is to enhance overall athletic performance through strength, cardiovascular, speed, power and flexibility development.

It is the expectation of Green Bay Athletics that all student-athletes take part in Strength and Conditioning workouts with our Strength and Conditioning Staff. These workouts are intended to make all student-athletes better equipped to excel in their sport and to reduce injuries.

If a student-athlete is injured during a workout with the Strength and Conditioning Coach, they must let the Strength and Conditioning Coach know they are injured prior to leaving the workout seeking the help of an Athletic Trainer.

If a student-athlete is sick and cannot attend a workout, they are expected to immediately contact the Strength and Conditioning Coach or their Athletic Trainer to update them on your absence.

Injured student-athletes are expected to communicate their issues with both their Athletic Trainer and the Strength and Conditioning Coach. They will work with each other to provide you a workout that accommodates any limitations you have due to your injury.
