Student Life Policies and Procedures Adding or Deleting a Varsity Sport

Each fall, Westmont will notify students of the opportunity to request the addition or deletion of a varsity sport. Students may obtain a copy of this procedure and of a Varsity Sport Request form from the Athletic Director’s office. In order for Westmont to consider adding or deleting a varsity sport as early as the following academic year, you should complete the Varsity Sport Request form and submit it to the athletic director by Oct. 31.

All requests will be reviewed by the college’s Title IX officer in light of federal requirements. They will be evaluated by the athletic director and the faculty athletic committee, which will make a recommendation to the provost. Any request approved by the provost will be forwarded to the budget committee for funding consideration and a recommendation to the president. The president will make a final recommendation to the board of trustees. The timing of the implementation of a decision to add a varsity sport will take into account funding, hiring of qualified personnel, compliance with Title IX, and college-wide programmatic needs.
