INSTITUTIONAL PURPOSE AND ATHLETIC PHILOSOPHY
We believe the student-athlete has the right and responsibility to exhibit integrity in academics, citizenship, and athletic competition.
To this end, the athletics department will pursue policies in recruitment, advertising, and athletic competition scheduling that will foster the academic success and amateur standing of the student. Personnel services and facilities will provide an environment for the student-athlete, who will value health, safety, fair play, diversity, gender equity, and civic contribution.
While striving for academic excellence is the central mission of UAH, an important University goal is recognized participation in community activities. The reputation of UAH, as an integral part of Huntsville, will be enhanced by the student-athlete program through participation in highly competitive contest for the involvement, enjoyment, and the benefit of the community.
UAH is proud of its association with the NCAA and is committed to abiding by its rules and regulations. Per the Bylaws of the University of Alabama system, ultimate responsibility for intercollegiate athletics at UAH rests with the president of UAH.
