Overnight Hosting Policies

On many occasions, varsity athletes are asked to host a prospective student-athlete overnight. The following policies apply to both the host and the prospective student-athlete:

• No alcohol consumption allowed. Please avoid all parties and gatherings where alcohol is consumed or served.
• Do not leave campus for any reason. It is okay to walk to the Village Commons. Taking public transportation to any of the 5 Colleges is strictly prohibited.
• Do not transport prospective student-athletes in your car or a friend’s car.
• Do not leave a prospective student-athlete unaccompanied. They should be with you or a responsible member of your team at all times.
• Make sure your coach has your phone number, email address and campus address. If for some reason the name and location of the host changes, please notify your coach immediately.
• In case of emergency, notify your coach and/or Public Safety immediately. The Public Safety office will have a list of all prospective students staying overnight, and their emergency contact information.

Hosting prospective students is an integral part of the recruiting process, and one that comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility. Coaches may add additional policies and it is important that student-athletes are familiar with all policies.
