Policy 416: Athletics
The Grays Harbor College (GHC) athletic program is an integral part of the College’s comprehensive educational plan. The athletic program is designed to provide a positive influence in developing the student- athlete’s mind, body, and character. GHC recognizes the Northwest Athletic Conference (NWAC) as its regulatory conference. All athletic teams in the College’s athletic program, regardless of participation in the NWAC conference, will adhere to the standards outlined in the NWAC Codebook. If there are additional requirements for specific sports by other conferences, the team will be required to adhere to those requirements as well.
Policy Review History
Review and Revision refers to the College’s cyclical process for evaluating and updating all institutional policies and procedures. At minimum, each policy or procedure will undergo review once every five years to ensure accuracy, relevance, and alignment with current practices and regulatory requirements. If the scheduled review results in no changes, the date of that review will be recorded in the Reviewed field. If updates or edits are made, the date will be recorded in the Revised field. This process maintains transparency regarding the history of each policy or procedure and ensures the College remains responsive to evolving needs and standards.
