University of Missouri-St. Louis Athletic Department

Student-Athlete Handbook

Section 6: Student-Athlete Conduct Code

As a member of the University of Missouri-St. Louis Division of Intercollegiate Athletics program, a student-athlete becomes a representative not only of their team, but also of the University. As a UM-St. Louis student-athlete you are expected to behave both on-and off-campus in a manner which brings credit to the University and your team.

Participating in sports at UM-St. Louis is not a right, but a privilege. If a Student-Athlete Conduct Code violation is found to have been committed, a student-athlete may receive a written reprimand, temporary loss of practice or participation status, indefinite team suspension, or reduction or cancellation of athletics aid. Any reduction or cancellation of scholarship aid may be appealed through established University procedures.

Any athlete charged with a felony will automatically be suspended from their team. Players charged or convicted of a misdemeanor can also be suspended from play or dismissed. In an effort to maintain consistency throughout the department, the Director of Athletics will set discipline for violations.
