Athletic Policy
Surry Community College will strive to provide athletic programs as an integral part of the college's student development mission.
Students may contact the Athletic Director to begin the process of creating a new athletic program. New programs may be started as club teams. If significant long-term interest and adequate support can be identified, National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) teams will be sponsored. All teams will be financed with student activity funds, monies raised by the participants, donor funds, etc. No student activity funds will be used for administrative expenses, coaching supplements, or athletic scholarships. Athletic scholarships may be funded by private donors through the Knights' Athletic Club or the SCC Foundation as well as unrestricted institutional funds. Final decisions on the selection of scholarship recipients shall be made jointly by the Director of Financial Aid and the Athletic Director.
Surry Community College sponsors all athletic programs without regard to race, religion, national origin, age, gender, veterans' status, or disability. Moreover, the College will operate all athletic programs in accordance with the NJCAA bylaws.
