Club Resources

Sport Club Handbook and Rules

The Sport Club Handbook is a resource for club officers and team members that outlines the important rules and expectations for club members. Check Student Activities and Involvement for information about getting involved on campus, including the RSO University Policies outlined for all student groups.

The Sport Club Compliance Program offers descriptions of consequences associated with failing to comply with said policies and expectations. Clubs should also reference the Illinois State University Code of Student Conduct.
