Intramurals
The intramural (IM) program exists in order to develop a balanced and Christ-like character in the lives of students, and to strengthen the university community through competition, team building, and involvement. IM sports at Anderson University are coordinated by the Student Programs office within the Department of Student Life.
A variety of individual and team sports are provided through the IM office ranging from the regular league play to tournaments which are intended to serve the varied interests of the AU community. The philosophy of the IM program at AU is that the sports venue provides a genuine arena for growth and development of individual lives and university culture.
Participants
Eligibility - The IM office does not assume responsibility for the eligibility of individual participants. It is the expectation of IM programs that members of this community will assume the responsibility for their own eligibility in an honest and forthright manner. Any team that allows a person to participate who does not meet the eligibility requirements will forfeit all games in which the ineligible player(s) participate.
Students - All student participants (grad/undergrad) must be enrolled (full or part-time) at Anderson University and have paid the entry fee.
Faculty & Staff - All participants must be employed by Anderson University and have paid the entry fee.
Intercollegiate Athletes - “In-Season” intercollegiate athletes are restricted from participating in their sports. “Off-Season” athletes are allowed to participate as individuals and groups up to three per team. Any individual listed on a roster is considered part of an intercollegiate team.
Club Sport Athletes - A maximum of three club sport members per IM team are allowed.
Participation in the IM program is completely voluntary. Injuries and their resulting costs are the responsibility of each individual participant. Each participant is encouraged to carry personal health and accident insurance.

Free Agents
If you are unable to get on a team or put together your own, then register in the Student Programs office as a free agent. The IM office will contact you if placement on a team is successful. Also, be sure to attend the appropriate captains’ meeting (this will increase your chances of getting on a team).

Awards
Members of championship teams in all activities receive IM Champion t-shirts. One shirt will be awarded to each individual on the roster.

Discipline
The development of a distinctly Christian community and persons of character is the explicitly state purpose of the IM program at AU. As Such, the behavior of all parties involved should reflect this purpose. Every individual is completely responsible for his/her behavior in regard to language, attitude, and general misconduct. IM staff members are empowered to remove participants, coaches, and spectators from any program if they display inappropriate behavior or interfere with the official’s ability to perform necessary duties.
Participants displaying poor sportsmanship, attitude, or general misconduct may be penalized and/or ejected. Use of profanity and/or derogatory comments toward others will result in immediate ejection. All discipline issues will be dealt with by the director of intramurals or the associate dean of students.
Any player, coach, or fan who is ejected must leave the playing area immediately or his/her team will forfeit the game. Any player ejected from a game is automatically suspended from the team’s next game and participation in another IM game or event is not allowed until the offending participant has met with the director of intramurals or his representative.

Employment
Referees are required for almost all IM sports. Interested students should inquire with the Human Resources office for available officiating positions in their sport of expertise.
