About Us | Coaches and Staff | Student-Athletes | Prospects | Boosters | Student-Athlete Parents
Whether in the real world or the cyber world, you, as a student-athlete, represent not only yourself, but also your team, the athletics department and Rutgers University. You are expected to do so with the highest standards of honesty, integrity and class.
Rutgers Athletics has developed the following guidelines student-athletes are expected to follow when engaging in any social media or other internet communications:
- Website and personal pages should be kept private; but understand that anything posted on-line is available to the world and out of your control the moment you place it online.
- Do not post personal, identifiable information (e.g. address, phone number, date of birth, class schedule, location of your team hotel). Doing so opens yourself up to predators, stalkers, identity theft, and other criminals.
- Do not post, or allow others to post anything online that could embarrass you, your family, your team, or Rutgers.
- Promotion/advertisement of commercial entities or businesses can have an effect on your eligbility. Check with the office of athletic compliance prior to endorsing, or promoting any business, entity, or product.
NOTE: Law enforcement, university and athletics department officials may check these websites if necessary. Student-athletes could face discipline, including loss of athletic scholarship and even dismissal from a team for inappropriate postings.
