- University policy discourages off-campus competition during final examination periods. However, if a team earns a post-season bid by said recognized sanctioning bodies, and receives endorsement of the Athletic Director/Chair, the Dean of Academic Affairs may grant final authorization/approval. In such cases, the burden of responsibility for resolving exam schedule conflicts rests with the student and his/her professor.

- Practice schedules for traditional and non-traditional seasons
- Academic labs/classes take priority over athletic practices.
- Traditionally practices are scheduled to begin in the afternoon. It is noted that some practice/competition facilities are shared forcing the designation of practice times other than afternoon. In the event that early-morning practices are necessary (e.g. spring practices), it is essential that practices are completed in time to enable student-athletes to attend all classes on time. The athletic director must clear exceptions to the traditional afternoon practice time.
