Athletics
Enterprise State Community College encourages athletics as a part of its educational program at the Enterprise campus. All intercollegiate sports are under the supervision of the Athletic Director.
Intercollegiate contests are played under the rules of the National Junior College Athletic Association and the Alabama Community College Conference. Participant eligibility is determined by these organizations and Enterprise State Community College.
Participation in intercollegiate athletics is one of the privileges afforded as an extracurricular activity to students enrolled in the institutions of The Alabama Community College System. The Alabama Community College Systems Board of Trustee wishes to ensure that the health and safety of student athletes are not compromised and that student athletes are discouraged from the use and abuse of illegal drugs. Therefore, it is the policy of the Alabama Community College System Board of Trustees that students participating in intercollegiate athletics submit to urinalysis drug testing at regular and random intervals, both announced and unannounced. This policy only authorizes drug testing of students who voluntarily choose to participate in athletics practice and/or competition at any of the institutions of The Alabama Community College System; therefore, any of these participating students will be required to submit to such testing.
The purpose of this policy is to prevent illegal drug usage, to alert student athletes to serious physical, mental, and emotional harm caused by drug abuse, and to maintain an athletics environment consistent with the high standards of the colleges and with the overall development and education of their student athletes.
Student athletes will be provided with educational programs, information, and activities to prevent drug abuse and to promote the personal well-being of the athlete.
The Chancellor shall issue guidelines to assist in adherence to, implementation of, and enforcement of this policy.
Drug Testing of Student Athletes
Enterprise State Community College complies with all directives from The National Junior College Athletic Association concerning drug testing and substance abuse.
Publication of Policy: The College shall include the Drug Testing of Student Athletes policy in appropriate College publications to ensure adequate notice and distribution.
