Acting as a student-athlete host is a crucial role in the recruiting process, and therefore appropriate conduct is not only important, but expected.

All Student-Athletes who assist in recruiting must abide by the following:

Division I

• Student-Athletes must sign the Student Host Reciept form that they have reviewed and understand the rules and policies for prospective visits. 
• Student Host will discuss academic and recreational activities with head coach prior to recruiting visit.
• Student Host will be aware of prospect's whereabouts throughout visit.
• Student Host will contact head coach (or designated assistant coach) immediately should any incident, question, or concern arise with prospect.
• Prospects are only allowed to attend sanctioned college events.
• Entertainment of prospective student is limited to on campus activities, or within a 30 miles radius of campus. Use of campus vehicles is prohibited.

1. You must be enrolled as a full-time student to act as a host.  If you are a first-year student, you must have been a qualifier out of high school
