Role of Nicholls State University Compliance
The Nicholls State University Compliance Office has several functions, which include: educating, developing policies and procedures, monitoring, and enforcing the rules and regulations of Nicholls State University, the Southland Conference and the NCAA.
The Compliance Office meets regularly with coaches and student-athletes to provide information and materials on the applications of NCAA Bylaws and also provide as much information as possible to the Nicholls University community. The Compliance Office also monitors functions of the Athletic Department that are governed by NCAA legislation.
All components within an athletic program must function properly and work together effectively and efficiently to ensure compliance. Compliance is a shared responsibility. Each stakeholder in Nicholls State University athletics assists the athletic program by knowing and complying with NCAA, Southland Conference, and University rules.
Compliance with NCAA rules requires the efforts of everyone associated with an institution's athletic program. Every staff member and student-athlete at a college or university is required to report all suspected violations of NCAA rules. Nicholls State University requests that any suspected violations be reported immediately to the Office of Compliance or Director of Athletics.
