General Information

  • Providence College Athletic Department Social Media Policy: Providence College is committed to providing a safe environment that enhances the academic, athletic and personal growth of all student-athletes. The Athletic Department holds all student-athletes to the highest ethical, moral and legal standards.

Providence College and the Athletic Department recognize that the Internet is a valuable part of higher education. However, student-athletes should also understand the responsibility that comes with the use of this communication tool. Student-athletes who choose to access and become involved in internet communities (Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, YouTube, etc.) must understand that the information, conversations and photos shared in these communities are held to the same standards of conduct as their "true life" or public behavior.

Information posted to these sites is considered in the public domain and represent both the individual and the organization, in this case Providence College and the Athletic Department. Information placed on these sites that is considered illegal, endangers the health, welfare or safety of another person, or otherwise negatively portrays the student-athlete, Providence College and the Athletic Department can have very serious repercussions and will not be tolerated. Penalties could range from suspension to complete loss of financial aid.

We recommend that student-athletes make mature, intelligent and responsible decisions in the manner in which they engage in such activity.
