on campus and in our community. We have an outstanding coaching staff,
administration, faculty and support staff in place to ensure your success as a student-
athlete.

At Compton College, we place great emphasis on academics and encourage students to
have the same focus in the classroom as they do in athletic competition. Student-
athletes have the responsibility of working toward an educational or vocational goal, as
well as their athletic goals. There is life after college athletics, and the Compton College
athletic department has chosen to focus its attention on student academic success as
well as athletic success. We want our students to be successful people and contributing
members of our campus and our community. The coaches at Compton College also
help prepare students for scholarship and transfer opportunities to four-year colleges
and universities.
Students are eligible to compete in intercollegiate athletics only if they are Compton
College students, pass a physical examination, are currently enrolled in at least 12 units
(nine of which must be academic), and sign and adhere to the athletic student-athlete
Code of Conduct. Eligibility is also verified by high school graduation, residence and
academic success. The final authority for all eligibility is the dean of student services.
