Student Handbook 2025-26

Failure to meet the athletic expectations and team requirements may result in consequences including scholarship reduction or termination and/or dismissal from the team. Minor infractions may be addressed with warnings or corrective measures (such as extra conditioning or temporary suspension from practice), but serious or repeated failures — such as unexcused absences from games/practices, persistent lack of effort, serious misconduct during competitions, or refusal to follow coaching instructions — can result in immediate suspension or removal from the team and revocation of scholarship. Any disciplinary action under this section will be determined by the Athletic Department in consultation with College administration, and the student-athlete will be notified in writing of any loss of scholarship or team membership resulting from failure to meet athletic expectations. The well-being of the student-athlete is a top priority. The student-athlete must complete any required pre-participation physical examinations and provide medical history information prior to engaging in athletic activities and prior to being awarded any athletic scholarship. Beacon College will facilitate basic sports medicine support for student-athletes. This includes access to athletic training services, first aid and initial injury evaluation during games, and referral to appropriate medical facilities or specialists when necessary. The student-athlete is required to maintain primary health insurance coverage (either through personal/family insurance or through a College-offered student insurance plan) during the term of this Agreement. Proof of health insurance must be provided to the Office of Health Promotion prior to the start of the season and upon any change in coverage. The student-athlete is responsible for any medical costs incurred from injuries or illnesses. Health and Safety
