Activities at an Off-Campus Practice or Competition Facility during an Unofficial Visit

Date Published: May 26, 2010

Interpretation:

The academic and membership affairs staff determined that the following activities at an off-campus practice or competition facility are permissible during an unofficial visit, provided the prospective student-athlete visits the institution's campus during the unofficial visit:

a. The unofficial visit may begin or end at an off-campus practice or competition facility (e.g., golf course, boathouse);

b. The prospective student-athlete is permitted to eat a meal at an off-campus practice or competition facility, provided he or she pays the actual cost of the meal; and

c. Contact during the unofficial visit between institutional staff members or student-athletes and the prospective student-athlete at an off-campus practice or competition facility is not considered an off-campus contact.
