Florida Atlantic University, a relatively young Division I Athletic Program, is establishing a winning tradition that we hope to build on with every new academic year. The Athletic Department has selected you because we believe you have the character and maturity to achieve a positive balance between your academic and athletic endeavors.

The Athletic Department accepts the challenge of creating an environment in which student-athletes are progressing academically in their degree program of choice, while simultaneously enjoying opportunities to compete athletically at the highest national level. We view each student athlete as an individual whose general health, fitness, education, and emotional development have significant value. The department takes pride in its compatibility with the mission of the University and recognizes the distinct opportunity to share with you Florida Atlantic University's recognition in the state, region, and nation.

This handbook has been prepared for you as a guide to help you navigate your college experience, and to provide you with a comprehensive overview of departmental policies and procedures. Please take the time to thoroughly review the handbook.

BEST WISHES FROM THE ENTIRE ATHLETIC STAFF
