UMass Boston

UMB's athletic department follows the Student Code of Conduct. Violations of the UMB Code of Conduct subject student-athletes to the disciplinary procedures and actions of the University and the discipline of Athletics. If a coach or athletic department staff member believes that a student-athlete violated the UMB Student-Athlete Code of Conduct and/or the UMB Student Code of Conduct, then it is the responsibility of that individual to report it to their supervisor. That report will then be forwarded to the Dean of Students' Office. If the Dean of Students Office determines a violation has occurred, the Athletic Director, and/or Senior Associate Athletic Director along with the Head Coach will discuss if deemed any additional disciplinary actions.  

It is expected that the Student Code of Conduct, as well as all university, conference and NCAA policies and procedures will be followed. Student-athletes may not provide impermissible benefits to current or prospective student-athletes at any time. Student-athletes may not take prospective student-athletes to any establishments (e.g., clubs, bars) where it is illegal for the prospective student-athlete to be present because of the individual’s age (Please refer to the Official Visit Page). Failure to follow these guidelines could result in disciplinary action and/or dismissal from the team (subject to appeal). These rules may be revised and updated at any time. 

If it is determined that a student-athlete violates University, Athletics, team, NCAA or state/local laws, the student-athlete is subject to disciplinary action and/or removal from the team. Additionally, student-athletes may not make public statements or gestures that are detrimental, discriminatory, or hateful about the institution, team, coaches, administration, fans, opposing teams, opposing fans, or referees.
