It is always a dynamic time when our students return to campus. New faces, new classes, and a new journey begins, as you weave your way through this chapter of your life at UNLV. At UNLV, we strive as a department to be the best in the west: academically, athletically and administratively. Our goals are simple and straightforward: 1. Graduate leaders with a meaningful career path; 2. Relentlessly compete and win championships; and 3. Serve as a point of pride and unity for our global UNLV community. Your years at UNLV should be some of the best, and we strive to always carry the passion and pride for UNLV that exists around us - and always acting with a team spirit, a competitive fire and gratitude for the opportunities we have been given - the UNLV logo never comes off! We are excited you chose to be a Rebel and wish you the best as you progress toward graduation and participate in your respective sports. Our global support team will work tirelessly to provide you with the best experience possible. I hope that at the end of the academic year you look back and 2017-2018 was successful and full of great memories. Go Rebels! Desiree Reed-Francois Director of Athletics 7 MISSION STATEMENT The UNLV Department of Athletics is proud to support the University’s mission by providing an outstanding academic, athletic and personal-growth experience for our student-athletes. We commit to excellence and the highest ethical standards in intercollegiate athletics. We strive to be effective stewards of our financial resources and embrace our community through public service, while serving as a source of pride in the State of Nevada through our successful athletic programs. CORE VALUES Respect & good sportsmanship Excellence in all we do Balance in life and sport Equity and diversity commitment Leadership and integrity Student-athlete well-being PURPOSE STATEMENT The purpose of this Handbook is to provide student-athletes, coaches and administrators with a guide regarding the policies, procedures, services available, activities and events supported and sponsored by UNLV, the Department of Athletics and the UNLV Athletic Services Staff. With a consistent, cohesive interdepartmental and campus approach, there will be less room for error, confusion and individual interpretation of policies, procedures and available services, and a process to eliminate the distribution of erroneous information. This proactive position will benefit all involved parties as a more coherent presentation, which will serve as a model for the Department of Athletics. Teams may have rules that are not addressed in this manual. Should those rules in any way conflict with this handbook, the rules set forth in this handbook shall govern. All rules will be subject to UNLV, Mountain West Conference (MWC), and National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) rules. All student-athletes with questions are encouraged to seek guidance from their sport administrator or the Office of Compliance. A. GENERAL RESPONSIBILITIES AS A STUDENT-ATHLETE It is a privilege, and not a right, to participate in intercollegiate athletics. As a student who participates in intercollegiate athletics, you become a member of a team. With great privilege comes great responsibility. When you accept the privileges of being a UNLV athletics team member, you also accept all of the responsibilities of representing the university as a student-athlete. In addition to NCAA, MWC, institutional, and department rules, you are expected to follow team rules and practices set forth by your coaches. You are expected to conduct yourself, both on and off campus, in a manner which respectfully represents you, your family, your team and UNLV. Your personal conduct is an important aspect of how other people, your fellow students and administrators will interact with you. You should at all times, demonstrate good judgment, ethical behavior, and comply with all MWC, NCAA and institutional rules. Remember, you are a highly visible member of the university community. Students who do not conduct themselves in a manner consistent with these expectations may be subject to discipline in keeping with federal, state, institutional, departmental and team protocol. 8 B. RESPONSIBILITIES AS AN ATHLETE UNLV student-athletes are high profile community members. Your conduct on and off the playing surface matters and will reflect upon you, your future,
