University of Vermont

Vermont Athletics Compliance Office

As a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the University of Vermont is responsible for ensuring that its various constituencies (including university personnel, student-athletes and representatives of athletics interests/boosters), are familiar with, and abide by, NCAA rules and regulations. Failure to exercise institutional control over the actions of these individuals could result in sanctions being imposed upon the University by the NCAA.

This page is designed to serve as an information resource regarding NCAA rules not only for the aforementioned constituencies, but also for prospective student-athletes who are considering the University of Vermont.

However, this page and accompanying links are merely intended to provide a general overview of some important NCAA rules, and does not cover all applicable legislative bylaws. Individuals who have a need for further information should contact the Compliance Office (see contacts on the right).

Compliance with NCAA rules and regulations is of the highest priority at the University of Vermont. Therefore, we urge anyone who is unsure about whether a particular action is permissible under the rules to ask before you act.
