Students may not represent Dakota College unless they are enrolled in 12 or more credit hours. (In special cases, group or organization advisers can make exceptions to this general regulation.) Representing Dakota College in intercollegiate athletics or other extracurricular activities is a privilege awarded only to students of good academic and social standing, although exceptions may be granted by the College Dean in unusual cases. Good academic standing includes meeting performance and attendance standards set by instructors for their courses and successful performance in most classes as demonstrated by midterm progress reports. In a like manner, good social standing involves more than merely being free from disciplinary probation. It includes a record of good conduct, both on and off campus. Students who are involved in frequent or serious misconduct, whose activities lead to arrest or detention by civil authorities, or whose overall demeanor and attitude are subject to sanctions will prohibit them from representing the institution. Advisors to student groups, instructors who sponsor field trips, and coaches of intercollegiate athletic teams reserve the right to set standards for their students. DCB follows the standards set forth by the NJCAA and ACHA.
