In accordance with NCAA rules and regulations, Washington College is responsible for the control and conduct of its intercollegiate athletic program. This responsibility includes accountability for the acts of all of its "athletic representatives." The following list includes some, but not all, of what are considered "extra benefits" by the NCAA and therefore are not permitted to be provided to student-athletes:

• A special discount, payment arrangement or credit on purchase (e.g., airline ticket, clothing) or services (e.g., laundry, dry cleaning, tailoring)
• A loan of money in any amount
• A guarantee of bond
• The use of an automobile
• The purchase of a meal or service at commercial establishments
• Transportation to or from a summer job
• A benefit connected with off-campus housing (e.g., individual television sets or stereo equipment, specialized recreational facilities, room furnishings or appointments of extra quality or quantity) that is not available on the same basis in the housing provided to at least one-half of the other members of the student body living in on-campus housing.
• Signing or co-signing a note with an outside agency to arrange a loan
• Selling or giving a student-athlete tickets to athletic, university, or town events
• The use of personal properties (e.g., boats, summer homes, cars, stereos)
• Providing holiday or birthday gifts

In addition, NCAA rules stipulate that a student-athlete:

• may not make or bill long distance telephone calls utilizing College telephones;
• may not use copying machines or fax machines at no cost; and
• may not knowingly provide information to assist individuals in organized gambling activities.

Note: Student-athletes should be aware that the NCAA reserves the right to drug test during post-season competition. All Washington College student-athletes will be subject to NCAA policies.
