Welcome Bulldog Student-Athletes!

The Yale Student-Athlete Handbook provides important information and guidance for student-athletes and contains essential NCAA and Ivy League rules and regulations. It is the responsibility of each student-athlete to adhere to the policies, rules, regulations, and guidelines in this handbook. Like all Yale College students, student-athletes must also adhere to the policies detailed in the Yale College Undergraduate Regulations.

While the Handbook and Regulations are updated annually, they may change at any time, and it is the responsibility of each student-athlete to stay informed of such changes.
                                                                               
Mission and Values
Yale College
The mission of Yale College is to seek exceptionally promising students of all backgrounds from across the nation and around the world and to educate them, through mental discipline and social experience, to develop their intellectual, moral, civic, and creative capacities to the fullest. The aim of this education is the cultivation of citizens with a rich awareness of our heritage to lead and serve in every sphere of human activity.

Commitment to Sportsmanship
Respect for the game in which the student-athlete participates also demands respect for the opponent. Student-athletes at Yale are expected to treat opposing student-athletes, coaches, officials, staff, and spectators with respect and refrain from taunting, baiting of opponents, or other negative behaviors directed towards the opposition, officials, or other attendees of the competition. Yale student-athletes must honor the responsibilities that accompany the privilege of representing the university by behaving in a manner that reflects positively upon themselves, their team, and Yale.
