Student-Athlete Policies

Program expectations for eligibility, conduct, communication, and participation.

Player Expectations

Vandal Esports players represent themselves, their teams, and the University of Idaho. Policies should help students understand expectations before they compete, travel, stream, attend events, or participate in official program spaces.

Eligibility

Players may need to meet enrollment, academic, conduct, and league-specific requirements before competing.

Communication

Players should communicate schedule conflicts, academic concerns, roster availability, and conduct issues early.

Conduct

Respectful behavior is expected in matches, practices, Discord, streams, events, and public-facing spaces.

Participation

Teams may set expectations for practices, VOD review, meetings, tryouts, media, and match-day availability.

Policy Status

Specific policies can be refined over time, but this page should remain the central location for player expectations.

When In Doubt

Students should ask staff for clarification before assuming a policy does or does not apply.
