Compliance at The University of Akron covers all functions at the athletics department; the most important being rules education. Keeping our student-athletes, boosters, and coaching staffs abreast of NCAA and MAC rules is the key to ensuring proper rules compliance. The Compliance Office for Athletics monitors all activities that involve NCAA or MAC rules, such as recruiting, financial aid, length of play and practice seasons, academics, and eligibility to name just a few. Maintaining institutional control is imperative to continue the growth and success of Zips Athletics. Proper rules compliance is the concern of everyone associated with The University of Akron, and everyone plays a role. You are encouraged to contact the Office of athletic Compliance should you have any questions and are reminded to always "Ask Before You Act!"
