What is Athletic Compliance?
Athletic compliance involves adhering to the spirit and intent of the rules and regulations of the NCAA. The Compliance Office within the Department of Athletics at Union coordinates the compliance efforts, functions as a resource center concerning NCAA regulations, and serves to educate its student-athletes, coaches, administrators, faculty, staff, and boosters about NCAA rules and regulations. The primary functions of the compliance office are to administer, monitor, and verify the accurate completion of NCAA required documentation, to assist in maintaining institutional compliance with NCAA rules, and reporting infractions or violations of rules to the NCAA.
