Georgia Tech Athletic Association Student-Athlete Code of Conduct:
1. Introduction
The following policy statement has been adopted and shall be administered by the Georgia Tech Athletic Association (GTAA). GTAA reserves the right to make changes to this policy as needed, and this Policy should not be construed to create a contract between student-athlete and GTAA. The intent of this Code of Conduct is not to supersede any NCAA or Institute policy; nor is it to judge guilt or innocence. It is designed to set standards relating to the athletic association’s expectations of how student athletes represent Georgia Tech and outline potential consequences for those who choose not to adhere to these expectations.
Participation in intercollegiate athletics at Georgia Tech is a privilege extended to a gifted few. As the Institute’s most visible ambassadors, student-athletes at Georgia Tech are expected to uphold, at all times, high standards of integrity and behavior which reflects well upon them, their families, coaches, teammates, GTAA and Georgia Tech.
For the purposes of this policy, “student-athlete” shall mean any student at Georgia Tech who has been declared eligible for practice and/or competition by NCAA standards.
2. Student-Athlete Misconduct
The Georgia Tech Athletic Association (GTAA) has developed the following as a department-wide policy for student-athlete misconduct.
It is the responsibility of every student-athlete to report to their head coach within twenty-four (24) hours any detainment by a law enforcement agency or criminal charges filed by any agency.
It is the responsibility of the head coach to report this information to their sport administrator and athletic director within twelve (12) hours of their becoming aware of such legal issues.
Any student-athlete arrested or charged with a Felony Offense shall be immediately suspended from all athletic related activity until those charges are resolved.
Any student-athlete arrested or charged with sports wagering, illegal possession of a weapon, or sexual assault shall also be immediately suspended from all athletic related activity until those charges are resolved.
Any student-athlete arrested or charged with a Misdemeanor Offense shall be referred to the GTAA Conduct Review Panel. The membership and role of this panel is addressed elsewhere in this document.
Any student-athlete arrested or charged with DUI shall be referred to the GTAA Conduct Review Panel and withheld from not less than the next 10% of scheduled competition.
