MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of Dayton reflects the mission of the University.

That mission is embodied in the following core purposes:

• To educate the total person by integrating the primary academic purposes with educational possibilities and opportunities for young people beyond the classroom;

• To teach the value of community and family through collaboration and teamwork;

• To instill the fundamentals of sportsmanship, adhering to the values of respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility;

• To teach the tools of achievement, including self-discipline, personal responsibility and the setting of high standards;

• To develop the individual talents of our student-athletes within the context of shared team goals;

• To enhance diversity and minority opportunity at the University of Dayton; and

• To advance the University of Dayton locally, regionally and nationally through the more highly visible sports, particularly the men’s basketball program.

VISION OF DIVERSITY AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DAYTONThe concept of diversity refers to human differences, both individual differences and differences among socially constructed groups. In the context of American higher education, definitions of human diversity are historically fluid and culturally variable. Such differences may include, but are not limited to, race, ethnicity, gender, socio-economic class, physical abilities or qualities, sexual orientation/gender identity, age, religious faith, national origin, marital or parental status, educational background, political beliefs and styles of learning. As a Catholic and Marianist university, the University of Dayton is committed to embracing diversity as a manifestation of God’s creation, to honoring the dignity that all persons share and to promoting the respect to which all are entitled. In this sense, the scope of diversity extends beyond a passive understanding of historically underrepresented groups. It is much more inclusive and intentional, capturing a broad spectrum of similarities and differences that each individual possesses. Thus, the University’s mission entails a special responsibility to educate for service, social justice, and peace-making, with particular emphasis on those living in poverty and other marginalized groups.As a community, we recognize the diversity of human perspectives and gifts as indispensable resources for academic excellence in research and artistic creativity and for the education of distinctive graduates prepared for lifelong learning, leadership and service. As a national leader in Catholic higher education, the University must educate its students for responsible citizenship and informed engagement in the multicultural and globally situated societies, institutions and communities of the 21st century. We acknowledge that building and maintaining institutional capacity for inclusive academic excellence is a strategic imperative rooted in our core mission and values. Widening the circle of the University of Dayton community to invite, affirm, reflect upon and educate for constructive collaboration across human difference is an expression of the University’s unwavering dedication to Catholic and Marianist traditions of education, intellectual life and community building. We believe that the search for the ultimate unity of truth is strengthened and deepened by the multiplicity of persons and perspectives in the University of Dayton community. Therefore, the University aims to foster a diverse faculty, student body, and staff and to create a safe, respectful and nurturing campus climate. In such a climate, all members of the University community are held accountable for treating one another respectfully, justly, and equitably, and all are offered opportunities for educational and professional development. In addition, the University’s curriculum and co-curricular programming are designed to advance students’ competencies for intellectually informed and critically reflective dialogue and collaboration with others in the midst of difference.

CALCULATING YOUR GPAStudents may receive the following grades for their work in a course: A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D, F, S (satisfactory), or NC (no credit). Each grade A-F corresponds with a certain number of “quality points” awarded per credit hour. These quality points are used to calculate your GPA. The quality points are:

A 4.00 B+ 3.3333 B- 2.6667 C 2.0 D 1.0A- 3.6667 B 3.0 C+ 2.3333 C- 1.6667 F 0.0

To calculate GPA:1. Multiply the number of credit hours for a course by the number of quality points earned.

The product will be GPA points;2. Add together GPA points for all classes in a semester;3. Add together total credit hours for the semester (only for classes taken for a grade);4. Divide #2 by #3;

TUTORING SERVICES / STUDENT LEARNING SUPPORTOASSA, in conjunction with the Office of Learning Resources, is committed to providing student-athletes with a comprehensive tutoring program. The intent of the tutoring program is to provide supplemental academic assistance. It is not a substitute for class attendance or working with professors. Tutoring sessions cover many different areas including review of class discussion and notes, study strategies and other information imperative to the respective class. Student-athletes are expected to participate actively in the tutoring sessions. Tutors will be available for walk-in sessions in evenings in a variety of subjects. At the beginning of the semester, all student-athletes receive an email with directions for scheduling tutor sessions. Student-athletes may also contact their Academic Coordinator with questions. Once tutoring appointments are made, student-athletes are expected to arrive on time and be well-prepared by bringing textbooks, class notes and questions to the session in order to actively participate in the study process.For more information or to obtain tutoring schedules, please visit the Office of Learning Resources website at: http://learningsupport.udayton.edu.

PRIORITY REGISTRATIONPriority registration is a service provided to UD student-athletes. Taking advantage of priority registration will make scheduling classes around practice and competition much easier! Sophomores MUST declare a major before they register for the fall semester of their junior year. Those who fail to do so will not be permitted to participate in registration.STEPS FOR PRIORITY REGISTRATION:

• Check with your coaches about practice schedules so you can register accordingly.• Choose the courses you wish to have approved.• Meet with your academic advisor (not academic coordinator) at least one week prior

to the registration date.• Youwillnotbeabletoparticipateinregistrationwithouttheapprovalofcourses

by your academic advisor.• *It is recommended to register for 15-17 credit hours and to have 2-3 back-up choices

in case any of your first choices are closed.• Once you have discussed your course selection with your advisor, you can then go

on-line at porches.udayton.edu on the assigned date at 12:00pm to register.You may login to the registration website by using your LDAP username and password. Also, listed in the status box is any type of hold which could prevent you from registering. *YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO REGISTER IF YOU HAVE HOLDS OF ANY KIND!

SUMMER SCHOOLStudent-athletes wishing to take summer school classes either at UD or at another institution must discuss courses with their academic coordinator, academic advisor and coach prior to registering.

SCHEDULE CHANGES - DROP/ADDSWhen making changes to class schedules (i.e., dropping or adding a class), student-athletes must seek approval from the appropriate academic coordinator AND academic advisor. Drop/add forms are available through academic departments, the Flyers First office and OASSA. Student-athletes must return completed forms with signatures from their professor and advisor to the Flyers First office. Student-athletes should be advised to NEVER drop below 12 credit hours.

TRAVEL AND CLASS ATTENDANCE GUIDELINESProfessors should be made aware of any planned absences for athletic purposes at least two classes in advance. Arrangements for making up missed class material should be made prior to leaving for competition. Student-athletes are not permitted to miss a class to attend a home practice session or team meal (Exception: A-10 tournaments hosted by UD). All practices must be scheduled before or after classes, or the students with classes must be excused from practice. If a competition is canceled or the student-athlete is not on the travel roster, then class attendance is required.

CLASS ATTENDANCE GUIDELINESStudent-athletes are required to be in all classes except those that are missed for competition. Class attendance is mandatory and is enforced before and after holiday break periods throughout the semester. Student-athletes are NOT allowed to miss class for any of the following reasons:

• Practice• Team meals• Training room or injury treatment• Lifting or conditioning sessions• Minor illness

PROGRESS REPORTSAt least once during the semester, student-athletes will be given progress report forms to check on performance in their courses. It is the responsibility of the student-athlete to provide the forms to their professors, have them filled out and returned to OASSA. Coaches will be notified of any failure to return forms on time.

ACADEMIC HONESTYOASSA subscribes to the principles of academic integrity and honesty as laid out in the University of Dayton student handbook. The policy is outlined below. Please see https://www.udayton.edu/studev/dean/civility/index.php for details on penalties, procedures and the appeal process.Student academic dishonesty is defined as any attempt by the student to obtain, or to assist another student to obtain, a grade higher than honestly earned. In addition to specific conditions stated by the course instructor, the following are defined as academic dishonesty: cheating; plagiarism; grade alteration; and deception to avoid meeting the stated course conditions. 1. Cheating: Cheating consists of any of the following:

a. For Examinations: Willfully copying or attempting to consult a notebook, textbook, or any other source of information not specifically authorized by the teacher; willfully aiding or receiving aid from another student during an examination or attempting to give or receive such aid; obtaining or attempting to obtain copies of the examination prior to the time the examination is given; or any other act which violates or attempts to violate the stated conditions of an examination.

b. For Assignments: When class assignments are such that students are expected to complete the assignment on their own, willfully copying all or part of another student’s assignment or attempting to violate or violating any stated conditions of the assignment.

2. Plagiarism: Plagiarism consists of any of the following:a. Quoting directly from any source of material – including other students’ work and

materials purchased from research consultants – without appropriately citing the source and identifying the quoted material;

16 17

b. Knowingly citing an incorrect source; using ideas (i.e., material other than information that is common knowledge) from any source of material – including other students’ work and materials purchased from research consultants — without citing the source and identifying the borrowed material.

The instructor is expected to establish any additional guidelines for plagiarism and should make clear to the students their individual responsibilities on assignments.

3. Grade Alteration: Grade alteration consists of an act which dishonestly modifies a grade obtained for a class assignment, examination or for the course itself.

4. Deception: Deception is defined as any attempt to avoid meeting the stated course condi-tions, such as making false statements to avoid taking examinations at the scheduled times or to avoid turning in assignments at the scheduled times.

ATHLETICS DEPARTMENT ETHICS POLICIES AND CODE OF CONDUCT

Important Notice:All students, including student-athletes, are required to adhere to all University of Dayton Student Standards of Behavior. This document is available on line at: https://www.udayton.edu/studev/dean/civility/index.php. The policies, standards and sanctions set forth in the Student Athlete Handbook are in addition to those in place for all University of Dayton students. We should recognize that we are fortunate to have the opportunity to participate in intercollegiate athletics. Currently, there are more than 25,000 high schools and only 325 NCAA Division I athletics programs. That works out to less than one spot at this level for every 80 individuals that played sports in high school.The University of Dayton is a very special place. We have a tradition of excellence in academ-ics and athletics that current student-athletes will help us to continue and improve upon. The fact that a student-athlete has chosen UD is testimony that they believe in our mission.All this opportunity does not come without some costs. Obviously it will be necessary for student-athletes to work hard and make certain sacrifices if they are to succeed. We also ask that they conduct themselves at all times in a manner that is consistent with the level of total excellence that we are striving for. Furthermore, student-athletes are expected to uphold the standards of ethical conduct established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Atlantic 10 Conference, Division of Athletics and University of Dayton.

PERSONAL CONDUCTThe acceptance of athletic financial aid and/or participation by a student-athlete as a member of an athletics team carries with it definite academic and athletic responsibilities. They are as follows:Academic1. Attend all classes, complete all academic assignments in a timely manner, and adhere to

the University’s Academic Integrity Guidelines;2. Consult with academic advisors, OASSA staff, and attend tutoring sessions as directed;3. Maintain an academic course load of at least twelve (12) hours per semester and make

satisfactory progress toward a degree;4. Accept responsibility for maintaining academic eligibility; and5. Strive to obtain a college degree within four (4) years.Athletic1. Abide by all team, Division, University, Atlantic 10 and NCAA rules;2. Maintain oneself in top physical condition, within accepted health standards;3. Attend all organized practices unless officially excused; 4. Take proper care of uniforms and equipment and return them in good condition;5. Treat officials, opponents, and teammates with respect, and avoid undue confrontations;6. Maintain proper standards of grooming and dress;7. Abstain from using tobacco (see Eligibility on page 22), alcohol and non-therapeutic drugs

(see Life Skills on page 48).

SPORTSMANLIKE CONDUCT1. The University will not tolerate unsportsmanlike conduct.2. Sportsmanlike conduct means more than the absence of negative actions in public. It includes

a student-athlete’s behavior both on and off the playing field. Unacceptable behavior on the playing field includes, but is not limited to, the following:a. Physical or verbal abuse of officials, coaches, opponents or spectators (includes taunting);

b. Throwing of objects;c. Unauthorized seizure of equipment from officials or news media;d. Inciting players or spectators to negative actions or to any behaviors which insult or

defile an opponent’s traditions;e. Use of obscene or otherwise inappropriate language or gestures;f. Making public statements which are negative, controversial or outside the Division’s

media policy; org. Participating in any action which violates generally recognized ethical standards of

intercollegiate athletics participation.3. Sanctions for unsportsmanlike conduct include warnings, suspensions, community service,

and more severe sanctions.4. Incidents of unsportsmanlike behavior should be reported to the appropriate Sports Program

Administrator (SPA). The SPA will handle the incident as described in the Athletics Division Sportsmanship Plan.

CRIMINAL ACTIVITY POLICYThe Athletics Division has implemented the following sanctions for student-athletes involved in criminal behavior:1. Misdemeanor (not including minor traffic violations) charges and felony investigations will

be left to the discretion of a committee including the Vice President/Director of Athletics, Faculty Athletics Representative, and legal counsel.

2. Misdemeanor convictions will result in a minimum 2 game suspension (or 7% of total competitions), with committee discretion.

3. A felony charge will result in indefinite suspension, the term of which will be determined by the committee.

4. A felony conviction will result in removal from team and loss of athletically related aid if applicable.

All sanctions are in addition to any imposed by UD and local/state/federal legal systems.

HAZINGHazing is dangerous and illegal. Every year students suffer injuries or even death as a direct result of some right of initiation that goes wrong, whether it be for entry into a club, fraternity, or team. The University and the State of Ohio describe hazing as “...any act or coercing of another...to do any act of initiation...that causes or creates a substantial risk causing mental or physical harm to any person.” Penalties range from large fines to jail time to expulsion from the University. This is a serious issue and one that no one should take lightly.Many teams have acts of initiation for new athletes. Most are harmless and are intended to be fun. Remember, however, that the definition of hazing only requires that the potential for mental or physical harm exist. A simple, fun initiation can quickly turn into a dangerous situation and a crime. In order to make sure a team’s initiation does not cross the line and become hazing, please observe the following:• Ask a coach, sports program administrator, or other athletics administrator about plans

before they are carried out.• Student-athletes should be allowed to opt out of the initiations without fear of reprisal.• Never involve alcohol in an initiation, this almost guarantees it will become dangerous

and result in a hazing incident

28 29

GAMBLING AND BRIBERYStudent-Athlete Responsibilities1. Reporting any offers of gifts, money or favors in exchange for supplying team information

or for attempting to alter the outcome of any contest;2. Maintaining a clear understanding of what constitutes a gambling and bribery activity and

reporting any suspected infractions;3. Contacting a coach or other Divisional personnel (i.e., Coordinator of Compliance) when

questions concerning inappropriate release of team information occur; and4. Increasing their awareness that participation in gambling and bribery activities can result in

disciplinary actions by the University and the NCAA, as well as local, state and/or federal prosecution of the involved individual(s).

Student-athletes and Athletics Division staff members are prohibited from engaging in any type of gambling activity concerning collegiate and professional athletics competition.NCAA Sanctions for sports wagering violations1. Wagering on any intercollegiate or professional athletics event will result in the loss of

eligibility for a minimum of one year and student-athletes will be charged with a loss of one season of competition;

2. Engaging in activities designed to influence the outcome of a contest or wagering (solicit-ing or accepting a bet) on a University of Dayton contest will cause student-athletes to permanently lose eligibility in all sports.

“The NCAA prohibits a student-athlete from betting on college or professional athletics through a bookmaker, a parlay card or any other method used by organized gambling. This prohibition

includes participation in tournament pools (such as the NCAA Men’s Basketball Championship) and rotisseries leagues where entry fees and/or awards and prizes are involved.”

“You should realize that the NCAA considers organized gambling to be bets placed or solicited between teammates, students, and/or friends. As an intercollegiate student-athlete

you can jeopardize your eligibility if you participate in any one of these forms of gambling.”

SExUAL HARASSMENT / MISCONDUCT POLICYSexual harassment in any form is not permitted. Sexual Harassment is unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, which can include unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, or other verbal, nonverbal, or physical conduct of a sexual nature. It may vary in its severity and consists of a range of behaviors or attempted behaviors. One type of sexual harassment is the creation of a hostile environment. This could include, but is not limited to: sexual exploitation; stalking with a sexual or gender based component; relationship intimidation; sexually charged name calling; retaliation against someone who reports sexual harassment/misconduct; and the use of language or the presentation of posters/banners and/or t-shirts that promotes the diminishing of a particular sex or gender. Sexual misconduct/violence is another form of sexual harassment. Sexual misconduct/violence refers to physical sexual acts perpetrated against a person‘s will or where a person is incapable of giving effective consent. Because sexual misconduct often hinges upon effective consent, i.e., sexual permission, it is defined in considerable detail in terms below. Sexual violence could include, but is not limited to: non-consensual sexual contact; non-consensual sexual intercourse; forced sexual intercourse; sexual exploitation; sexual abuse; and relationship intimidation or violence. Any one act or series of acts that create or contribute to an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment is prohibited. Any breach of the sexual harassment/misconduct policy is a violation of what we, as a Catholic and Marianist University, recognize as the dignity of each person, and it diminishes our fundamental commitment to living, learning, and working together as a just and inclusive community.

Reporting:A student who is the victim of any type of sexual harassment/misconduct is encouraged to report the incident.What to do if you have been sexually assaulted:1. Go to a safe place.2. Tell someone. A list of contacts is located at the bottom of this page. Your reporting options

includea. Report to a Campus Authority: Reporting the assault to an authority who will forward

your report such that action is taken to investigate. These community members include University Police (911 or 937-229-2121), Resident Assistants, Housing & Residence Life professional staff members, administrators in the Division of Student Development or off campus law enforcement. Note: counseling and medical assistance will be offered to any student reporting an assault.

b. Seek Counseling: Choosing not to report the assault but seeking counseling through the University Counseling Center 937-229-3141 or with a doctor in the Health Center 937-229-3131. Note: counseling and medical assistance will also be offered to any student who chooses to report an assault to a campus authority.

3. Seek medical attention. Medical attention is critical so that injuries (including internal injuries) or infections which may have resulted from the assault can be treated. It also helps preserve evidence. People who receive medical exams are not required to press charges. However, hospitals are required by state law to contact the police when a sexual assault is reported to them. They, however, are not required to share the details of the incident. Medical attention can be sought by contacting law enforcement or by going to a local hospital. When choosing to seek medical attention from a hospital it is important to note the following ways you can work to preserve evidence. These include:a. Do not wash anything (including your hands, mouth and face.)b. Do not wash or comb your hair.c. Do not shower or clean yourself in anyway.d. Do not change your clothes.e. Bring an extra set of clothes with you to the hospital.

4. Seek assistance from the Dean of Students office in changing existing academic and living situations in order to feel safe on campus. The University will offer these services when made aware of an assault. The University of Dayton encourages students to report sexual assaults to the Police or campus authorities so that the University can take appropriate measures to provide help and to prevent future assaults. It is important to understand that some individuals on campus can hear or receive reports confidentially (for example psychologist‘s in the counseling center, ordained clergy and the medical doctors in the health center), whereas others are obligated to take investigative action upon hearing or receiving a report (for example University Police, Housing & Residence Life staff, Student Development administrators.) Note: general faculty and staff may or may not have an obligation to report sexual assault to the authorities.

All student-athletes should report any alcohol-related incidents to their coaches immediately;2. The Athletics Division may impose sanctions in addition to those imposed by the University

and/or any local state agency3. Teams may have their own policies that may be stricter and carry heavier sanctions than

UNIVERSITY OF DAYTON ATHLETICS SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAM POLICIES AND PROCEDURES

Important Notice:The Athletics Division reports the results of all confirmed positive drug tests to the University of Dayton Office of Community Standards and Civility. Positive drug tests are violations under the University of Dayton Student Standards of Behavior and may result in disciplinary action including suspension from the University. The educational ideals of the University of Dayton stress the development and integration of the total person: mind, body, and soul. The mastering of athletic skills and the challenge of intercollegiate competition make a positive contribution to the development and integration of the whole person. On the other hand, alcohol and drug abuse are serious impediments to growth, development, and integration. The drug education and testing program for student-athletes set forth in these pages is part of the University’s endeavor to create an educational environment which encourages the responsible use of alcohol and prescription drugs and seriously discourages alcohol and drug abuse.The University of Dayton provides this drug education and testing program for student athletes for two additional reasons. First, this drug education and testing program will help ensure the safety and health of the students participating in intercollegiate competition. Second, since the University has built a reputation for high quality athletic program and it is a privilege for the student-athlete to represent the University in intercollegiate athletics, the University has the right and obligation to set standards of behavior for those who represent it in these activities. By participating in all aspects of the drug education and testing program, the student athlete contributes to his or her own education and to the safety and integrity of intercollegiate athletics at the University of Dayton. It is the policy of the University of Dayton Athletics Division to discourage and/or eliminate the use of illegal substances and the use/misuse/abuse of other dangerous substances in order to promote the health and safety of student-athletes and to ensure fair intercollegiate athletic competition. To assist in the implementation of the foregoing policy, the University of Dayton Division of Athletics has established this Substance Abuse Program consisting of the following activities, services, and sanctions:1. Informational and Educational Activities administered by the Division of Athletics consist-

ing of providing information about substances and educating student-athletes as to the psychological and physical effects resulting from the use/misuse/abuse of such substances.

2. Counseling services administered by the University Counseling Center consisting of problem awareness and assessment sessions, and follow-up counseling sessions providing assistance through the professional counseling to student-athletes in their efforts to cease the use/misuse/abuse of substances.

3. A testing procedure administered by the Associate Director of Athletics in charge of the Substance Abuse Program and the Drug Testing Coordinator to identify student-athletes who have used banned substances.

4. Administrative procedures administered by the Division of Athletics if a student-athlete has a confirmed positive test result (Step 2); or a third confirmed positive test result during the same academic year (Step 3).

5. Sanctions, and the procedures for the imposition thereof, applicable to student-athletes who refuse or otherwise fail to be tested or whose test results are confirmed positive.

6. Appeal procedures to safeguard the inherent fairness of this Substance Abuse Program as it is applied to an individual student-athlete.

7. Confidentiality as to matters uniquely involving an individual student-athlete (such as test results), and, at the same time, to achieve the objective of the Substance Abuse Program. Participation in this Substance Abuse Program is a prerequisite for team membership in all intercollegiate athletics at the University of Dayton. A substantial and material failure to participate will result in dismissal from all athletic scholarship at the end of the current academic year. Prior to and as a condition of team membership in all intercollegiate athletics at the University of Dayton, student-athletes are required to file a Consent and Release of Liability form with the Drug Testing Coordinator.

34 35

1. Informational and Educational Activities The Athletics Division may hold group and/or individual meetings with student-athletes;

may offer and require participation in educational programs and may furnish informational and education materials to them. The intended objectives of these activities are:• To provide student-athletes with an education that will enable them to approach the

decision making process about the use of illegal substances and the use/misuse/abuse in a knowledgeable manner.

• To create an awareness of problems related to and resulting from use of illegal substances and the use/misuse/abuse of other substances in a knowledgeable manner.

• To decrease the social acceptance of substance abuse and to increase positive peer pressure that would argue against substance abuse.

• To present an overview of the social decisions facing student-athletes during and related to campus life and as may be relevant in future social settings.

Student-athletes will be encouraged to self-identity substance use/misuse/abuse problems they may have and to seek out assistance to deal with such problems. Informal counseling by the staff of the Athletics Division and professional counseling at The University of Dayton Counseling Center will be available to provide such assistance.

2. Counseling Services The University Counseling Center is available to all student-athletes who desire assistance

through professional counseling in their efforts to cease the use/misuse/abuse of substances. Self-referral is encouraged and can be through the Athletics Division by contacting the Head Coach, Drug Testing Coordinator/Head Athletic Trainer, and their Sports Program Administrator or directly by contacting the Counseling Center. Required counseling occurs when a student- athlete has a confirmed positive test result. The Associate Director of Athletics in charge of the Substance Abuse Program shall refer the student athlete to the Counseling Center. The Counseling Center shall be furnished a copy of the Step 1 contract and any amendments thereto.

The relationship between a student-athlete and the University Counseling Center shall be the same as the Counseling Center has with all students of the University, and no distinc-tion shall exist whether the student-athlete is a self-referral or is required to avail himself/herself of the Counseling Services because of a confirmed positive test result. Nothing in this Substance Abuse Program modifies the practices or procedures of the Counseling Center, and inclusion of reference to the Counseling Center is only to confirm approval of this program by the Counseling Center and its commitment to provide Counseling Services which are an integral part of this Program.

The University Counseling Center will, upon request of a student-athlete or notified parents, counsel the student-athlete and/or notified parent as to inpatient/outpatient substance abuse programs available to the student-athlete, and will provide recommendations with the respect thereto. Such outside services are at the option and expense of the student-athlete and/or notified parents.

In addition to being required to participate in the testing procedure because of random selection, an individual student-athlete may be required to participate in the testing procedure upon an indication of use of banned substance, or may be required to submit additional specimens if the Athletics Division determines that a previously submitted specimen may have been altered or contaminated or that previous testing procedures or results may not have been proper or correct. The time or times at which a specimen may be required may be pre-scheduled or without prior notice.

4. If any student-athlete refuses or otherwise fails to participate in the Testing Procedure by not providing a specimen when and where requested, the student-athlete shall be denied the opportunity to participate in intercollegiate athletic activities.

A copy of this notice shall be furnished by the Associate Director of Athletics in charge of the Substance Abuse Program to the Head Coach, the appropriate Sports Program Administrator, and the Director of Athletics.

effort is made to maintain a proper chain of custody for the sample. Results are reported only to the Associate Director of Athletics in charge of the Substance Abuse Program who takes appropriate action based on the principles and guidelines of the Division’s Substance Abuse Policies.

Appendix III – NCAA Banned Drug Classes 2011-2012The NCAA list of banned-drug classes is subject to change by the NCAA Executive Com-mittee. Contact NCAA education services or www.ncaa.org/health-safety for the current list. The term “related compounds” comprises substances that are included in the class by their pharmacological action and/or chemical structure. No substance belonging to the prohibited class may be used, regardless of whether it is specifically listed as an example.Many nutritional/dietary supplements contain NCAA banned substances. In addition, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not strictly regulate the supplement industry; therefore purity and safety of nutritional dietary supplements cannot be guaranteed. Impure supplements may lead to a positive NCAA drug test. The use of supplements is at the student-athlete’s own risk. Student-athletes should contact their institution’s team physician or athletic trainer for further information.

MEDICAL POLICIES AND TRAINING ROOM PROCEDURESAt the University of Dayton, the health and well-being of our student-athletes is a primary concern. The Sports Medicine Staff strives to prevent injuries through pre-participation physical examinations, well designed conditioning programs, warm-ups, proper practice planning and appropriate equipment selection. When an athletic injury occurs, our goal is to effectively, efficiently and consistently provide the highest quality medical care possible from the initial first-aid to the follow-up care and rehabilitation.

FACILITIESThere are two Athletic Training Rooms in operation at the University of Dayton. The Arena Training Room is located in the Donoher Basketball Center and utilized by Arena teams for practices and games. The Cronin Center training room is open year round and is utilized for treatment and rehabilitation to all sports in the mornings and serves those sports that operate out of the Frericks and Cronin Centers in the afternoon.

STAFFThe University of Dayton Sports Medicine Staff consists of a team of General and Family Practice/Sports Medicine Trained Physicians and Orthopedic Consultants working with seven certified and Ohio licensed Athletic Trainers, any of whom may be consulted regarding injuries or illnesses. These professionals work through open lines of communication and cooperation to achieve their common goal. In particular instances the Head Team Physician may refer student-athletes to other physicians or specialists. However, the Head Team Physician supervises the status of all student-athletes and has the final authority with regard to all medical disqualifications, treatment, and return to play. Referrals to specialists will be made through the Team Physicians or Athletic Trainers only! Trained personnel are present at all athletic contests and, where possible, at all practices to insure prompt medical attention. Priority for coverage is given to those sports where the risk of injury is greatest. The Sports Medicine Staff is committed to a system of shared responsibility with the student-athlete and coaches. They work closely with the coaching staff to keep them informed of the medical status of the student-athletes.

PHYSICAL ExAMINATIONSAll first-year student-athletes must have a physical examination on file with the Sports Medicine Staff within the previous six months before being allowed to participate in any way with their sport. In addition, all student-athletes must complete a physical exam their first and junior years from our medical staff. All first-year student-athletes must complete a Complete Medical History form. Student-athletes are required to report all previous significant injuries and illnesses. This history is updated yearly and must be on file with the Sports Medicine Staff before participation in that sport is permitted.

INSURANCEIt is a requirement of all student athletes that they provide proof of an active primary insurance policy that provides benefits in Dayton Ohio. Each student-athlete’s insurance coverage information MUST be on file with the Sports Medicine Staff. This information helps expedite insurance claims should they occur. No student-athlete will be allowed to participate until this information is on file.The University of Dayton Division of Athletics carries a “secondary” athletic injury insurance policy. This policy only covers injuries sustained during official and supervised athletic activity. No payment will be made for medical expenses or injuries and illnesses not the result of intercollegiate competition or practice. Our athletic injury insurance policy requires we first utilize the health insurance of the student-athlete’s parents of guardians. After the student-athlete’s insurances have paid all available benefits, any remaining balance should be submitted to the Sports Medicine Staff for processing. In the event the student-athlete does not have health insurance, it will be the student- athlete’s responsibility to enroll in a policy that fulfills the requirements to participate. These require-ments are but not limited to: 1) The policy has benefits in Dayton Ohio. 2) The policy covers sport related injuries 3) The policy must include a pharmacy plan.Dental insurance is not required but is highly recommended. Only those dental injuries incurred as a result of practices or games are covered by our insur-ance policy. Report such injury immediately. Payment for all other dental problems is the responsibility of the student-athlete.The Athletics Division may assist in the purchase of corrective lenses for the eyes that are necessary to enable the student-athlete to participate in their sport. The purchase of additional lenses is the responsibility of the student-athlete and is recommended.Each student-athlete’s insurance coverage information MUST be on file with the Sports Medicine Staff. This information helps expedite insurance claims should they occur. No student-athlete will be allowed to participate until this information is on file.Each student-athlete should sign, their first year of participation, an “Authorization for Use or Disclosure of Information” form. This form allows communication of medical information among the Sports Medicine Staff and coaches to assist in the care of the injured student-athlete.

INJURY PROCEDURESReport all injuries and illnesses as soon as possible after they occur to one of the Staff Athletic Trainers. They can be reached by cell phone if not present at the practice or game. In cases of an emergency or illness occurring during off hours, contact a Staff Athletic Trainer and report to Miami Valley Hospital; list our Head Team Physician, Dr. Sean Convery, as your primary care physician. Staff Athletic Trainers or our Team Physicians will initially evaluate all injuries. All referrals to other physicians or specialists are to be made through the Sports Medicine Staff only; the student-athlete or coach is not to do this on his/her own. Any medical expense that results from outside physician consultation without the knowledge of the Sports Medicine Staff will not be covered by our insurance. If one of our Team Physicians recommends additional medical testing or examinations, this examination will be performed at the earliest opportunity based on: the student-athlete’s insur-ance policy and procedures, physician or facility availability, and student-athlete availability. Injured players must report to the training room daily for treatment recommended by the Team Physicians or Athletic Trainers. Each injured student-athlete is expected to get as many treatments per day as ordered. Treatments will be given from 8:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. Monday through Friday in the Cronin Center Training Room. Additional treatment times can be arranged with one of the Staff Athletic Trainers. The Athletic Training Room will open approximately 1.5 hours prior to practice for treatments and taping. No treatments will be given one-half hour neither prior to practice nor during practice without permission of the Athletic Trainer and coach. Failure to report for treatment or to complete the prescribed treatment will be reported to the coach for appropriate action.Everyone will dress in full gear for practice unless otherwise advised beforehand by the Athletic Trainer. If the student-athlete is injured to the extent that he/she cannot dress in full gear or will be available only for limited Medical Policies and Training Room Procedures work, he/she will be required to report to practice on time and in the gear suggested by the Athletic Trainer. During practice, injured players may be assigned special exercises, running, or calisthenics intended to speed recovery and maintain conditioning. No student-athlete is to leave practice because of an injury or illness without consulting an Athletic Trainer. Failure to complete assigned exercises, loafing, or inactivity during practice will be reported to the coach for appropriate action.In the absence of a Team Physician or an Athletic Trainer, the head coach is responsible for the decision of returning a student-athlete to participation until the advice of Team Physician or Staff Athletic Trainer can be obtained. Student Aids are present for first-aid purposes only. Both student-athletes and coaches are to remember that the Head Team Physician has the final authority regarding a student-athlete’s return to participation following an injury or illness. If a physician or athletic trainer are unavailable for consultation by a head coach concerning return to play, and the head coach is unsure as to whether or not the student-athlete should return, the head coach should err on the side of caution and remove the student-athlete from the contest.

CAMPUS RESOURCES – MEDICAL RECOVERYThe information below may be useful in the event of a medical diagnosis that potentially impacts academic participation. The student-athlete is responsible for communicating with faculty and staff throughout recovery. The campus resources listed below are points of contact that may be considered. If recovery prevents use of email, the student-athlete should visit his/her academic coordinator as soon as possible to discuss next steps. Office of Academic Services for Student-Athletes (OASSA) Staff: See page 8Counseling CenterGosiger Hall – first floor937-229-3141Counselors are available to talk through a wide variety of issues, including mental health questions that may arise during recovery.

44 45

Office of Learning ResourcesRoesch Library - lower level937-229-2066Staff members in this office can coordinate temporary academic accommodations during recovery. Documentation from Sports Medicine staff and/or campus health center may be required.Transportation Center – Medical Escort937-229-2121Medical Escorts provide transportation free of charge to resident students with temporary injuries.

PREVENTION OF INJURIESThe prevention of an injury is much better than having to treat one after it occurs. All players should not underestimate the importance of flexibility, strength, and conditioning exercises, and perform them thoroughly. Taping or wrapping necessity will be at the discretion of the Athletic Trainers. Those student-athletes who have chronic problems are expected to be taped, wrapped or braced and perform specific exercises to help remedy the problem.

TRAINING ROOM RULES1. Do not wear cleated or spiked shoes in the training room.2. Do not bring uniforms, shoes, or other clothing into the training room.3. Shirts must be worn at all times when in the treatment tubs.4. Absolutely no self-treatments: the Sports Medicine Staff will apply all taping, bandages, etc.5.

by the Sports Medicine Staff.6. Do not use or remove equipment, supplies, or special pads without permission of the Athletic

Trainers. All wraps, etc., will be checked out to the student-athlete and returned when the student-athlete is finished using them. Student-athletes will be charged for any item not returned.

7. Avoid horseplay, improper language, and unnecessary confusion.8. After practice remove tape, etc., in the locker room and take a shower before treatment of

injuries, minor wounds, cuts, and abrasions.

EQUIPMENT ROOMA proud moment for most of our student-athletes is the first day they get to put on a University of Dayton uniform. Being a part of our program should make you proud. Every time you compete in a UD uniform you represent over 70,000 living alumni of this university. It is an honor to be a Flyer.It is no small task ordering and maintaining uniforms and equipment for our 17 athletic teams. We attempt to maintain our teams in the best equipment possible given our fiscal limitations. Our equipment managers make every effort to keep all of our gear in the best condition possible. It is important that you take care of the equipment that you are issued and that you follow the procedures that have been established.The University of Dayton has two equipment/laundry facilities; one is located at the arena and one is in the Frericks Center. The Frericks Center equipment room is located on the north side of the building (RM 9) and the arena facilities are located in the Donoher Basketball Center.Our facilities in the Frericks Center accommodate all sports except football and men’s/women’s basketball. Hours vary in accordance with practice, game, travel and weekend schedules.Our laundry facilities work on a daily basis and are run by student employees. We do not do any personal laundry for the athletes. For those teams who need daily practice gear laundered, it must be dropped off and picked up in the equipment room. For home contests, game gear will be issued from the equipment room the same way as practice gear. When your team is on the road, players will need to follow instructions.At the end of each sports season we will have an equipment return date and time set up for the players. The players are to return any issued gear, including trainer’s wraps, braces, etc., at this time. Those who do not return items will be notified along with the head coach. Both equipment rooms are equipped with telephone answering machines and messages may be left at any time (Frericks Center x4495 or Arena 449-2858).All gear (practice and/or game) should be turned in as soon as possible after use. Your coach will let you know when things are due. Failure to turn in gear in a timely manner may result in it not being laundered before it is returned and/or other penalties.Players are responsible for any and all UD issued gear (practice and game), locks, etc. Altera-tions to uniforms are to be done by the equipment staff only or with the equipment manager’s expressed written permission. If a player does not return all items issued to him/her, he/she will be billed a replacement cost for the items. The equipment manager will give a list of items still out to the head coach and they will make a decision as to the payment procedure.Our locker room facilities are limited in size so please help by keeping the locker room clean and as neat as possible. It will be necessary for some teams during the season to share a locker room. If during the day a player needs to get into their locker room they may come to the equipment room and someone will let them in.All equipment will be inventoried at the end of each team’s season. The equipment manager and staff will abide by all Athletics Division, Atlantic 10 Conference, and NCAA rules.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING“Champions are not born, they’re made.” The University of Dayton believes strongly in the ability of its student-athletes to improve themselves given the right environment and resources. One such resource that is available to all student-athletes is our strength and conditioning program. This program consists of three fully equipped facilities and a staff of professionals dedicated to helping our athletic teams compete safely and successfully.

FACILITIESThe Athletics Division’s strength and conditioning department is run out of The Olsen Athletic Performance Center. The facility houses a wide variety of free weights, dumbbells, weight training machines, agility devices and cardiovascular exercise equipment. In addition to the training received, nutritional post-recovery supplementation is provided.

SAFETYThe strength and conditioning staff are trained professionals who are dedicated to helping our student-athletes. You will not be asked to perform any exercise that is considered risky or danger-ous. Please do not attempt to do exercises that you are not familiar with or ones you do not feel you can perform in a safe and effective manner. Always use proper safety equipment (weight belts, safety racks, etc.). Never perform lifts such as squats, bench press (incline or regular), or military press without a competent spotter. Listen to and follow the instructions of our staff.

STRENGTH TRAININGThere are three requirements that must be met to produce meaningful strength gains.1) Properly designed resistance training must be performed. All UD athletic teams participate

in some kind of resistance training, and most lift year round. If your team isn’t involved in an organized lifting program, feel free to contact a member of our staff to get an individual program started.

2) Athletes need to get adequate rest and sleep. Muscular improvements occur between workouts, not during them. It is sometimes difficult for college students to get enough sleep on a regular basis, but proper daily planning can help. If you feel you are having a problem in this area, you can contact a member of our Academic Support Program or someone at the Counseling Center.

3) Weight training without adequate nutrition can be futile. The body needs energy to fuel growth and materials to produce muscular changes. What and when you eat may be as important as lifting when it comes to muscular development.

NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTSThe overwhelming majority of nutrition supplements sold in magazines, gyms, health food stores, and over the internet, will not do anything to enhance athletic performance. A few are effective, but most are useless and expensive. Some can actually damage your health and performance, and may contain compounds that could cost you your NCAA eligibility. Beware of anything that promises phenomenal physical gains or weight loss in short periods of time. Products that contain extracts from herbs, roots, and other natural sources are poorly regulated. Some of these include banned substances that may or may not be listed on the label. The supplements listed below are examples of compounds banned by the NCAA and considered particularly dangerous to athletes. Please note that these are just examples and that there are many more dangerous supplements available and even more brand names containing these dangerous compounds.Please contact a member of our strength and conditioning or sports medicine staffs before you try any type of ergogenic or nutritional supplement.Student-athletes and coaches may also contact the Dietary Supplement Resource Exchange Center (sponsored by the NCAA) for confidential answers to questions about supplements.www.drugfreesport.com/rec. 816.474.7321 or 877.202.0769

CHAMPS/LIFE SKILLSThe University of Dayton recognizes that student-athletes may come across challenges while trying to balance being a Division I student-athlete with the responsibilities of academics and being a successful, well-rounded individual. In order to offset some of these challenges and enhance the student-athlete experience, staff members created the UD Life Skills Program. UD’s program is recognized as a member of the NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills Program. There are five components to the CHAMPS/Life Skills program: Athletic Excellence, Academic Excellence, Personal Development, Career Development and Community Service.

UDI 145 -- LIFE SKILLS FOR STUDENT-ATHLETESThis course is designed to introduce first-year student-athletes to the various life skills needed to successfully manage the challenges of being a collegiate student-athlete. This course will also help assist the student-athlete in adjusting to college life as well as identifying and clarifying personal values in relation to life decisions. It will help the student-athlete recognize the unique demands of college and assist them in acquiring skills, which will allow them to respond to those challenges. The student-athlete will be provided with programs and resources to enable them to maximize personal success. This course will also provide a forum for reflection on life goals, values, study skills and life skills to help the student-athlete succeed in their new environment. UDI 145 is mandatory for all first-year University of Dayton student-athletes. It is a one-semester course for which the student-athlete will receive one credit.

SEASON EVALUATIONS/SENIOR ExIT INTERVIEWSAt least once during the year all student-athletes will be asked to fill out an end of season evaluation, analyzing their experience as a UD student-athlete. This is a completely confidential survey designed to let student-athletes tell us what we could improve on and what we are already doing well as a coaching staff, administration and department. Seniors will be asked to engage in an exit interview in person with at least one sports program administrator before leaving UD.

ALCOHOL EDUCATIONEach year the Athletics Division works with the UD Counseling Center to organize alcohol education sessions geared towards student-athletes. Attendance at these sessions is mandatory for all student-athletes and is designed to provide additional information and resources regard-ing alcohol consumption in general and on UD’s campus. For information regarding the UD Athletics alcohol and drug testing policies, please see page 33.

VARSITY D AWARDSFor decades, participation in athletics at the University of Dayton has been recognized by the Varsity D Awards System. Each year, all the UD student-athletes receive an award (see below) to celebrate their contributions to their team, the Athletics Division and the University of Dayton Community.• To receive a varsity D letter award, the student athlete needs to complete his or her

competitive season in good standings, as determined by the Head Coach and approved by the Sports program Administrator.

• Awards are not based on whether the student is a freshman, sophomore, junior or senior, but rather on whether the student athlete has participated in a sport for one, two, three, four, or five years at the University of Dayton.

AWARDS:• First Year Backpack• Second Year Letter Jacket• Third Year Watch• Fourth Year Ring• Fifth Year Blanket

TRANSFERS:Four years of eligibility left: enter the UD system @ 1st year level awardThree years of eligibility left: enter the UD system @ 2nd year level awardTwo years of eligibility left: will receive 2nd year award jacket their 1st year and 4th year award ring their senior year. These student athletes would be eligible for a 5th year award if they participate for a 3rd year.One year of eligibility: receives only the 4th year ring award. If they participate for the extra year, they would earn the 5th year award

CAREER SERVICESUD’s Career Services, located in the Alumni House, works closely with all students in assisting them with various career and educational services such as choosing a major, setting career objectives, or taking the first steps toward a career. Career Services will help with resume writing, review cover letters and walk through mock interviews. There are also career fairs set up at the university for all students that are interested in taking advantage of them.

STUDENT-ATHLETE ADVISORY COMMITTEE (SAAC)Mission Statement and Objectives• To enhance the academic, physical, and social development of University of Dayton student-

athletes, as well as foster an active communication network between these student-athletes, administration, campus and community.

• To support and develop the academic, physical and social experience of the student-athletes at The University of Dayton, as well as to increase community and campus involvement.

SAAC is made up of representatives from each varsity team. The group meets at least once a month to address areas of special interest to our student-athletes and to develop leadership skills. SAAC representatives should identify themselves to their teams. If they do not, student-athletes are asked to contact their coach for more information. Student-athletes are encouraged to use this program to address problems that they are having, or to bring up suggestions that they feel may benefit the Athletics Division. Full constitution and bylaws for SAAC are available upon request.

FLYER CHALLENGEThe “Flyer Challenge” is a program to increase Flyer student-athletes’ involvement in NCAA CHAMPS/Life Skills. Each SAAC representative encourages his/her team to participate in monthly activities. These activities may include (but are not limited to): earning highest team GPA (semester), supporting fellow Flyer student-athletes during competitions, attending ArtStreet events, utilizing UD Career Services programs and participating in community outreach projects. Each SAAC representative reports his/her team’s participation in activities every month. Each activity is worth a certain amount of points. The team with the most points at the end of the academic year wins the “Flyer Challenge” and a team dinner!

YOUR WORKS-CITED LIST Your works-cited list should appear at the end of your essay. It provides the information

necessary for a reader to locate and retrieve any source you cite in the essay. Each source you cite in the essay must appear in your works-cited list; likewise, each entry in the works-cited list must be cited in the text.

LANGUAGE ARTS {MLA style of documentation}

According to the Modern Language Association Handbook for Writers of Research Papers, 7th edition:

{1} Double-space all entries.{2} Begin the first line of an entry flush with the left margin, and indent lines that follow by one-half inch.{3} List entries in alphabetical order by the author’s last name. If you are listing more than one work by the

same author, alphabetize the works according to title. Instead of repeating the author’s name, type three hyphens followed by a period, and then give the title.

{4} Italicize the titles of works published independently. Books, plays, long poems, pamphlets, periodicals and films are all published independently.

{5} If the title of a book you are citing includes the title of another book, italicize the main title but not the other title.

{6} Use quotation marks to indicate titles of short works included in larger works, song titles and titles of unpublished works.{7} Separate the author, title, and publication information with a period followed by one space. {8} Single space after a colon.{9} Use lowercase abbreviations to identify parts of a work (for example, vol. for volume), a named

translator (trans.), and a named editor (ed.). However, when these designations follow a period, the first letter should be capitalized.

{10} Use the shortened forms for the publisher’s name. When the publisher’s name includes the name of a person, cite the last name alone. When the publisher’s name includes the name of more than one person, cite only the first of these names.

{11} Commonly used with electronic sources, the abbreviation n.p. indicates that neither a publisher nor a sponsor name has been provided. Use n.d. (for no date) when the web page does not provide a publication date.

BASIC RULES

According to the sixth edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association: Indent your reference list one-half inch from the left margin, excluding the first line of each reference,

which should remain flush left. This is called a hanging indent. Double-space all references. Capitalize only the first word of a title or subtitle of a work. Capitalize all major words in journal titles.

Italicize titles of books and journals. Note that the italicizing in these entries includes commas and periods. Invert authors’ names (last name first); give last name and initials for all authors of a particular work,

unless the work has more than six authors (in this case, list the first six authors and then use et al. after the sixth author’s name to indicate the rest of the authors). Alphabetize by authors’ last names letter by letter. If you have more than one work by a particular author, order them by publication date, oldest to newest (thus a 2014 article would appear before a 2015 article). When an author appears as a sole author and again as the first author of a group, list the one-author entries first. If no author is given for a particular source, alphabetize by the title of the piece in the reference list. Use a shortened version of the title for parenthetical citations within the text.

Use “&” instead of “and” before the last author’s name when listing multiple authors of a single work.

BASIC FORMS FOR SOURCES IN PRINT

An article in a periodical (such as a journal, newspaper, or magazine) Author, A. A., Author, B. B., & Author, C. C. (Year of publication). Title of article. Title of Periodical,

volume number (issue number), pages.You need to list only the volume number if the periodical uses continuous pagination throughout a particular volume. If each issue begins with page 1, then you should list the issue number as well Title of Periodical, volume number (issue number), pages.A nonperiodical (such as a book, report, brochure or audiovisual media)

Author, A. A. (Year of publication). Title of work: Capital letter also for subtitle. Location: Publisher. For “Location,” you should always list the city, and you should also include the state if the city is unfamiliar or if the city could be confused with one in another state. Use the two-letter zip-code abbreviation for each state.Part of a nonperiodical (such as a book chapter or an article in a collection)

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Year of publication). Title of chapter. In A. Editor & B. Editor (Eds.), Title of book (pages of chapter). Location: Publisher.

When you list the pages of the chapter or essay in parentheses after the book title, use “pp.” before the numbers: (pp. 1-21). This abbreviation, however, does not appear before the page numbers in periodical references.

BASIC FORMS FOR ELECTRONIC SOURCES

A web page Author, A. A. (Date of publication or revision). Title of full work. Retrieved from http://web address

An online journal or magazine Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number.

doi:0000000/000000000000Since online materials can potentially change URLs, APA recommends providing a Digital Object Identifier (DOI), when it is available, as opposed to the URL. DOIs are unique to their documents and consist of a long alphanumeric code.An online journal or magazine (no DOI assigned)

Author, A. A., & Author, B. B. (Date of publication). Title of article. Title of Journal, volume number. Retrieved from http://web address

E-mailBecause e-mail is a personal communication, not easily retrieved by the general public, no entry should appear in your reference list. Instead, parenthetically cite in text the communicator’s name, the fact that it was personal communication, and the date of the communication: The novelist has repeated this idea recently (S. Rushdie, personal communication, May 1, 2015).

YOUR REFERENCE LIST YOUR REFERENCE LIST SHOULD APPEAR AT THE END OF YOUR ESSAY. IT PROVIDES

THE INFORMATION NECESSARY FOR A READER TO LOCATE AND RETRIEVE ANY SOURCE YOU CITE IN THE ESSAY. EACH SOURCE YOU CITE IN THE ESSAY MUST APPEAR IN YOUR REFERENCE LIST. LIKEWISE, EACH ENTRY IN THE REFERENCE LIST MUST BE CITED IN THE TEXT.

parallel-distributed-processing approaches. Psychological Review, 100, 589-608.Give the secondary source in the references list; in the text, name the original work, and give a citation for the secondary source. For example, if Seidenberg and McClelland’s work is cited in Coltheart et al. and you did not read the original work, list the Coltheart et al. reference in your reference list. In the text, use the following citation:

For parenthetical citations of sources in text with no author named, use a shortened version of the title instead of an author’s name. Use quotation marks and italics as appropriate. For example, parenthetical citations of the two sources above would appear as follows: (Merriam-Webster’s, 2005) and (“New Drug,” 1993).A translated work and/or a republished work

{1} Keep notes, lists and journals to jog your memory.{2} Decide what is most important to remember by looking for main ideas.{3} Classify information into categories. Some categories may be: a. Time – summer, sun, swimming, hot b. Place – shopping center, stores, restaurants c. Similarities – shoes, sandals, boots d. Differences – mountain, lake e. Wholes to parts – bedroom, bed, pillow f. Scientific groups – Flowers, carnation, rose{4} Look for patterns. Try to make a word out of the first letters of a list of things you are trying

to remember. You also could make a sentence out of the first letters of the words you need to remember.

{5} Associate new things you learn with what you already know. {6} Use rhythm or make up a rhyme.{7} Visualize the information in your mind. a. See the picture clearly and vividly. b. Exaggerate and enlarge things. c. See it in three dimensions. d. Put yourself into the picture. e. Imagine an action taking place.{8} Link the information together to give it meaning.{9} Use the information whenever you can. Repetition

is the key to memory.

{1} Concentrate. Do not talk or distract others.{2} Listen carefully to the directions. Ask questions if they are not clear.{3} Pace yourself. Keep your eye on the time, but do not worry too much about not finishing.{4} Work through all of the questions in order. If you do not think you know an answer to a

problem, skip it and come back to it when you have finished the test. {5} Read all of the possible answers for each question before choosing an answer.{6} Eliminate any answers that are clearly wrong, and choose from the others. Words like

always and never often signal that an answer is false.{7} If you’re required to write a short essay, quickly jot down an outline to make sure you include

all the key points in your answer.{8} When you finish the test, go back through and check your answers for careless mistakes. Change

answers only if you are sure they are wrong or you have a very strong feeling they are wrong.{9} Do not be afraid to guess at a question. If you have a hunch you know the answer, you

probably do!{10} Use all of the time allotted to check and recheck your test.

TIPS FOR IMPROVING YOUR MEMORY

TIPS FOR TAKING EXAMS

SUCCESS SKILLS {t ips for improving your memory & taking standardized tests}

Listening (unlike hearing, which is a physical process not requiring thinking) gives meaning to the sounds you hear. It helps you understand. Listening is an active process that requires concentration and practice. In learning, the instructor’s responsibility is to present information; the student’s responsibility is to be “available” for learning. Not listening means you will be unable to learn the material.To help develop listening skills:

Approach the classroom ready to learn: leave personal problems outside the classroom. Try to avoid distractions.

Even if you do not sit close to the instructor, focus your attention directly on him/her. Pay attention to the instructor’s style and how the lecture is organized. Participate; ask for clarification when you do not understand. Take notes. Listen for key words, names, events and dates. Don’t make hasty judgments; separate fact from opinion. Connect what you hear with what you already know.

HOMEWORK SKILLS

Keep track of your daily assignments in this datebook so you will always know what you have to do.

Homework is an essential part of learning. Even though you may not have written work to do, you can always review or reread assignments. The more you review information, the easier it is to remember and the longer you are able to retain it.

Realize that homework is considered an important part of learning. Not doing your homework because you do not believe in homework is self-defeating behavior.

It is your responsibility to find out what you have missed when you are absent. Take the initiative to ask a classmate or instructor what you need to make up. You need to also know when it needs to be turned in. If you are absent for several days, make arrangements to receive assignments while you are out.

Have a place to study that works for you – one that is free from distractions. Be honest with yourself about using the TV or stereo during study time. Make sure you have everything you need before you begin to work.

Develop a schedule that you can follow. Be rested when you study. It is okay to study in short blocks of time. Marathon study sessions may be self-defeating.

Prioritize your homework so that you begin with the most important assignment first: study for a test, then do the daily assignment, etc.

Study for 30-40 minutes at a time, then take a 5-10 minute break. Estimate the amount of time it will take to do an assignment and plan your break time accordingly.

LISTENING SKILLS

SUCCESS SKILLS {successful notetaking}

Taking notes reinforces what we hear in the classroom and requires active listening. Having accurate information makes your outside study and review time that much easier. Good notetaking requires practice.

Be aware of each instructor’s lecture style; learning how to adapt to each style takes patience. Take notes as you (attentively) listen to the lecture. Keep notes in an individual notebook for each class or in a loose-leaf binder that has a section for each class. Your instructor may have certain requirements.

Date each day’s notes, and keep them in chronological order. Some instructors provide outlines that tell you how a series of lectures will be organized; other instructors will deliver their lectures and expect you to write the information in your notes. Most instructors will emphasize important points by stressing them or repeating them a few times. Make a note in the margin or highlight any information the instructor specifically identifies as important.

Write notes in short phrases, leaving out unnecessary words. Use abbreviations. Write clearly so you will be able to understand your notes when you review them.

If you make a mistake, a single line through the material is less time consuming than trying to erase the whole thing. This will save time and you won’t miss any of the lecture. Don’t copy your notes over to make them neat; write them neatly in the first place. Don’t create opportunities to waste your time.

Write notes on the right two-thirds of the notebook page. Keep the left one-third free for your follow-up questions or to highlight the really important points in the discussion.

Listen for key ideas. Write them down in your own words. Don’t try to write down every word that your instructors say. Some instructors will use the chalkboard, an over-head projector or a PowerPoint presentation to outline these key ideas. Others will simply stress them in their discussion.

Soon after class, while the information is still fresh in your mind, create questions directly related to your notes in the left column of the paper. Place these questions across from the information to which it pertains. Highlight or underline any key points, terms, events or people. Quiz yourself by covering the 2/3 side of your notes and try to answer the questions you developed without referring to your notes. If you need to refresh your memory, simply uncover the note section to find the answers to your questions. Short, quick reviews will help you remember and understand the information as well as prepare for tests.

Review your notes daily. This reinforces the information and helps you make sure that you understand the material.

Make sure your notes summarize, not duplicate, the material. Devise your own use of shorthand. Vary the size of titles and headings. Use a creative approach, not the standard outline form. Keep class lecture notes and study notes together.

SUCCESSFUL NOTETAKING

SUCCESS SKILLS {plan for success}

{1} Organization – Getting organized is the first step to success. Remember that you are responsible for knowing about and

completing your assignments and special projects. Make sure you have a datebook to write down your

homework, extracurricular activities, community activities and other responsibilities.

Make sure you have all the materials you need when you go to class and when you do your homework.

{2} Time Management – Managing time wisely will help ensure that you have the opportunity to do both the things you need to do and the things you want to do.

Plan a definite time to do your homework. Plan time for extracurricular and social activities as well as home responsibilities. Commit yourself to your time plan, but be flexible. For example, if something

happens that makes it impossible for you to do homework during the regularly scheduled time, plan an alternate time to do the homework.

{3} Set Priorities – If you have lots to do, it is important to set priorities. Rank each task in 1, 2, 3 order. Start with #1 – the most important task – and

continue on down the list. When doing homework, start with the subject in which you need the most

improvement. Check off finished tasks. If you frequently find that you cannot finish all the tasks on your list, you may

need to prioritize your optional activities and eliminate some that are low on your priority list.

{4} Set Goals – Just wishing to get better grades or to excel in soccer accomplishes nothing. You need a plan of action to achieve your goals. Setting goals will result in better grades and higher self-esteem. Best of all, setting goals will make you feel in control of your life. Some hints for setting goals:

Be specific. List specific goals for each academic subject. Also list goals for other school and home activities.

Set time limits. Your goals can be both short-term (within a month or on the next quiz or test) and long-term (within the semester or within the school year).

Set realistic goals. For example, if math has always been difficult for you, don’t aim for an “A” in Algebra at the beginning of the year. If you usually get a “C-” in math, you may want to begin by setting a short-term goal of “C+” or “B-”. Reaching that first short-term goal will give you the confidence to raise your goal for the next test or the next grading period.

Draw up a step-by-step plan of action for reaching each goal; then go for it! Write your goals down, and put them in several places (your bedroom door, your

datebook, your bulletin board) so you will see them several times a day. Share your goals with others – your parents, roommates, instructors, classmates,

etc. They can give you encouragement. Keep at it! Be determined, and keep a positive attitude. Visualize yourself achieving

your goals. Reward yourself when you reach a goal.

PLAN FOR SUCCESS

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE DON’T BECOME SUCCESSFUL BY LUCK. THEIR SUCCESS IS THE RESULT OF SETTING GOALS AND WORKING TO ACHIEVE THOSE GOALS. IN OTHER WORDS, SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE PLAN TO SUCCEED. YOU, TOO, CAN PLAN TO SUCCEED. DON’T PROCRASTINATE. GOOD INTENTIONS WILL NOT HELP YOU SUCCEED. START PLANNING FOR SUCCESS TODAY!

Learning how to manage your money is an important step in becoming financially independent. It’s never too early to start keeping a budget. Use this budget worksheet to determine your income and expenses. If you need to cut back on spending, little bits add up.

When dining out with friends, don’t order a soda; drink water instead.

Skip costly coffeehouses and brew your own at home.

Save money on gas and parking by walking to class or carpooling with pals.

Many communities offer paying recycling programs, so cash in those cans.

Consider trimming “extras” that add up, such as a cell phone, pager or cable TV.
