Disclosure Requirement

  • All student-athletes must complete the Title IX and Serious Misconduct Student-Athlete Disclosure Form truthfully, accurately, and completely.
  • Current Student-Athletes: Must complete the Disclosure Form annually prior to the start of their season.
  • Prospective and Transfer Student-Athletes: Must complete the Disclosure Form before an official position on an athletic team or a financial aid agreement is offered, whichever comes first.

Consent Requirement for Transfers

In addition to the Disclosure Form, prospective and transfer student-athletes must also complete a Title IX & Serious Misconduct Consent Form. This form grants KSU written permission to contact all prior institutions to inquire whether the student-athlete was found responsible for a Title IX or other serious misconduct violation.

Information to Be Disclosed

Student-athletes must disclose if they have ever been:

  • Disciplined through a Title IX or similar campus proceeding for sexual violence, interpersonal violence, or any other act of violence.
  • Convicted of, or pleaded guilty or no-contest to, any crime of sexual violence, interpersonal violence, or any other act of violence.
  • The subject of a Title IX proceeding that was incomplete or pending at the time they transferred from a previous institution.

Information Not Required for Disclosure

Student-athletes need not disclose if they have been:

  • Found "not responsible" or "not in violation" at the conclusion of a Title IX proceeding.
  • Found "not guilty," or had charges dismissed without conviction, in any criminal investigation.

Sanctions for Non-Compliance

Failure to comply with this policy or providing false information may jeopardize a student-athlete's eligibility and may result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to, revocation of athletic scholarships and removal from an athletic team.

Document Retention

The KSU Athletic Director, or a designee, shall serve as the custodian of all disclosure and consent records. These records shall be maintained until the student-athlete is no longer a student at KSU.
