The Transylvania intercollegiate athletics program is
integral to the university’s educational mission and operates
under the principles of amateur athletics and fair play, as
established by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)
Division III.
The Department of Athletics provides equitable opportunities and
support for male and female students to participate in
intercollegiate athletics and to compete successfully in the
Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference. All activities hold
paramount the academic, personal and physical welfare of the
student-athlete, and emphasize physical fitness, self-discipline,
teamwork, leadership, and the highest standards of ethics,
sportsmanship and personal performance.
Student-athletes are representative of the general student
population and are afforded similar opportunities and treatment.
Programs, staff and facilities reflect the excellence of the
institution and contribute to the quality of campus life.
