Grievance Procedure for the Student-Athletes
Each coach follows the guidelines of the University and of the NCAA in running a Division I program and in educating the student-athlete. With this in mind, student-athletes are encouraged to keep an open line of communication with their Head Coach. If at any time you feel this is not the situation these steps are suggested:
-
Speak to the team captain about the problem and begin to document the problem(s) encountered.
-
If you are not satisfied with the progress speak to the head coach.
-
After these steps are taken and you are still experiencing difficulties request a meeting with the Director of Athletics. It is important to document the problem and the response you receive from each individual with whom you speak.
Like all students, student-athletes have access to the University Appeals Boards on Student Life as outlined in the SJU Student Handbook.
