INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this manual is to establish polices and procedures of the University of Georgia Athletic Association.

It is written to serve as a primary means of communication to inform employees
of approved policies and procedures. It will serve as a guide to enhance employee-employer relationships. Each employee will be able to use this manual to promote understanding, consistency, and continuity within the Athletic Association.

All employees are encouraged to recommend revisions to policies and procedures as they desire or feel necessary. Each recommendation should be submitted in writing to the Director of Athletics. Any exceptions to policies printed in this manual can be authorized only by the Director of Athletics.

All employees are encouraged and directed to inform the student-athletes of all described student services, including the Drug Testing, Education and Counseling Policy and the Discipline Policy found within the Comprehensive Action Plan Summary contained herein.

All manuals remain the property of the University of Georgia Athletic Association and should be returned to the Director of Human Resources upon request or termination of employment.

It is our hope that this manual will aid employees as they attempt to perform duties in a manner that will bring credit to the University of Georgia Athletic Association and the University of Georgia.
