The Appalachian State University department of athletics is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, ethics, and fairness in intercollegiate athletics. The Athletics Compliance Office functions within the scope of the university to coordinate, monitor and verify compliance with all National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Sun Belt Conference and university rules, regulations and policies. Our mission is to promote a culture of compliance, accountability, and student-athlete well-being. In fulfilling this charge, the compliance office invokes the principles of shared responsibility and comprehensive rules education to coordinate a proactive and responsive NCAA compliance program. The Athletics Compliance Office directs this effort and acts as a resource center concerning NCAA regulations and compliance issues. The primary functions of the Athletics Compliance Office are to oversee and verify the accurate and timely completion of NCAA-required procedures. In addition, the Athletics Compliance Office provides educational programming and interpretive support to ensure that all individuals involved with the athletics program fully understand the university's compliance expectations. It is the responsibility of the Athletics Compliance Office to ensure that the demands of the NCAA, Sun Belt Conference, and university's compliance efforts and expectations are properly supported. With the cooperation of our university community, we are committed to achieving these goals. 

If you are a booster, coach, student-athlete, or prospective student-athlete and have any questions regarding the NCAA rules, please do not hesitate to contact the compliance office.
