STUDENT-ATHLETE COMPLIMENTARY ADMISSIONS
An institution may provide up to four complimentary admissions per home and away contest to a student-athlete in the sport in which the individual participates (practices or competes).
Teams that charge for admission to home events must utilize the Complimentary Admission process and abide by all policies, procedures and deadlines for their particular team. An orientation of the system will be reviewed annually prior to the team’s first competition.
Division I Regulations:
- Admissions shall be provided through a pass list for individuals designated by the student-athlete.
- The student-athlete's eligibility shall be affected by involvement in receipt of more than the permissible four complimentary admissions or the sale or exchange of a complimentary admission for any item of value.
- A fellow student is any student with an appropriate student identification card from SHU or from any other four-year collegiate institution. A student-ID must be presented at the gate in order to receive a ticket.
- All individuals utilizing a complimentary admission will be required to present valid identification at the gate. Please inform your guests of this policy or they may not be admitted if they don’t present an ID.
- Individuals designated by the student-athlete to receive complimentary admissions are not permitted to receive any type of payment for these admissions or to exchange or assign them for any item of value.
- Sacred Heart may not provide a special arrangement to sell a student-athlete ticket(s) to an athletics event. Tickets shall be available for purchase by student-athletes according to the same purchasing procedures used for other students.
- Student Athletes are not permitted to put a faculty or staff member as one of your guests on your pass list. If you wish to have a faculty or staff member come to your game, please contact the compliance office to see what sort of other arrangement can be made, as it must be consistent with University policy.
- A student-athlete may not purchase tickets for an athletics contest from the institution and then sell the tickets at a price greater than their face value.
