UAH Athletics

All prospective student-athletes are to seek admission to UAH according to regular admission policies of the institution. There are no special admission policies for student-athletes and all prospective student-athletes are treated the same as any of the prospective students seeking admissions. If a student athlete is enrolled under special admission conditions according to NCAA Division II Bylaw 14.1.6.1. University policy states that a committee comprised of the FAR and Registrar will decide if these special admission students will be allowed to participate in intercollegiate athletics during their conditional/probational time period, and what that level of participation will be. The committee will meet separately and a letter will be sent to the head coach stating if the student athlete will be allowed to participate in intercollegiate athletics during their conditional/probational time period and what that level of participation will be. A copy of this memo will be given to the AD, SA, FAR, Registrar, and on file in the compliance office. Media releases regarding addition of a PSA to a team will go through the UAH Sports Information Department, who will clear all publicity with the DoAC prior to putting anything out in the media or online.
