Code of Conduct

Department of Athletics

Student-athletes enrolled at East Carolina University are expected to uphold, at all times, standards of integrity and behavior that will reflect credit upon themselves, their families, and East Carolina University. Student-athletes are also expected to behave with propriety and to respect the rights and privileges of others. They are expected to abide by the laws of the city, state, and nation and by all rules and regulations of East Carolina University, Conference USA, and the NCAA. Failure to do so may result in suspension from the university. Scholarship athletes risk having all or part of their grant-in-aid revoked for any infraction of this code of conduct.

Each coach of the East Carolina athletics program has a set of team training/conduct rules. The athletics administration will fully support disciplinary action taken by a coach. However, student-athletes who wish to appeal a disciplinary action may do so by following procedures outlined in the department’s appeals and grievances policy provided in this handbook.

Situations that involve law enforcement agencies will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. Final determination of an individual’s status will be made following the completion of impending court and/or university action.
