INTRAMURAL TABLE OF INFRACTIONS

The following minimum suspensions are in place for incidents that occur in any Intramural game. These suspensions are not subject to appeal.

For other incidents outside the game itself, the Leagues and Tournaments Coordinator will investigate, and then refer the matter to the most current A&R Discipline Process or to the Non-Academic Misconduct Intake Office (NAMIO) for assessment and referral, as appropriate.

Players serving a suspension are still required to meet the minimum number of games required for playoff eligibility.

The complete Intramural Participant Guidelines for behavior can be found online HERE.

A report that alleges presumptively Category 2 misconduct under the Student Code of Conduct (PDF) will also be submitted to the Non-Academic Misconduct Intake Office (NAMIO) for assessment and referral, which may lead to additional outcomes.
