It is the mission and goal of the UW athletics compliance office to protect the University by ensuring that the athletics program operates in a manner that is consistent with the letter and spirit of NCAA, Pac-10 Conference and University rules, regulations and policies.

Athletics compliance is the responsibility of everyone associated with UW's athletics program, including coaches, student-athletes, athletics department personnel, faculty, staff, alumni, boosters and other supporters of UW.
