Operations Manual - Declaration of Season

Declaration of Season Policy  

Annually, the head coach for each sport must complete a declaration of season form once their proposed schedule is approved by the scheduling committee. In early June, the Compliance Office will send a request to all head coaches for their declaration of seasons due June 31st.   

The declaration of season requires the coach to confirm the start and end dates for their traditional and non-traditional season based on their respected sports (Bylaw 17) and that they will meet the minimum requirements of Bylaw 20.11.3.8. The declaration of season form will also include a calendar to mark out their 114 Day (144 for indoor and outdoor track and field) playing and practice season.     

Once approved by the scheduling committee and the declaration of season document has been approved by the Compliance Office, the declaration of season document will be filed for reference for the upcoming season in the Compliance Office. All dates on the declaration of season must be submitted into the team’s ARMs calendar accordingly. The declaration of season and ARMs calendar will be checked by the Compliance Office to ensure alignment.
