Student Participation in Athletics

1. It is a long-standing practice of the University at Buffalo that no intercollegiate athletics contests be scheduled during final-examination periods. Students participating in athletic contests should be granted consideration similar to that given students participating in other intercollegiate University sponsored activities. Should a team or individual qualify for post-season competition scheduled at a time clashing with a course's final examination, instructors are encouraged to establish conditions facilitating championship participation.
2. Policy concerning class attendance and the availability of make-up for any class requirements is set by the individual course instructor. Instructors shall make reasonable allowance for the circumstances of students who formally represent the University in any extracurricular activity.
3. The Athletics Department should apprise athletes of their right to refuse participation in athletic events which conflict with their academic responsibilities.
