WNMU Athletic Department Handbook (PDF)

The Athletics Program at WNMU provides activities, which are physically wholesome, mentally stimulating and socially satisfying, thereby integrating athletics with the total educational program. All students are encouraged to participate in sports instruction, activities and competitions.

As a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, (NCAA), our intercollegiate athletics program is an integral part of the institution's total educational thrust, subject to the same aims, policies, and objectives of other institutional programs. It adheres to the principles of sportsmanship and ethical conduct, rules compliance and amateurism, as defined by NCAA rules for staff, student-athletes and institutional personnel.

A sound athletics program should be sponsored with the basic purpose of providing the benefits of participation in athletics to as many students as possible. We support and adhere to equitable opportunities for all staff and student-athletes, including women and minorities. Intercollegiate athletics must be an integral part of the academic life of the institution. Academic policies have been adopted which assure that athletes fulfill their responsibilities as students. Students are expected to receive academic degrees within a maximum of 10 semesters of attendance. We are also committed to administer these programs on a sound educational and financial basis.
