Discounts and Refunds for RMU-Owned and -Operated Camps
All camps must submit a Free/Reduced Admission Form with suggested discounts for teams and/or individuals (children of staff) when they turn in their Request for Approval packet to the Office of Athletic Compliance. Discount or free admission must be approved by the Office of Athletic Compliance prior to offering such opportunities to prospective campers. Once approved all discounts must be publicized and applied during the registration period, where possible.
Team discounts refunded to high school coaches for distribution to their players following camp must be documented and itemized.
If free/reduced admissions are granted after those submitted in the Request for Approval, a second Free/Reduced Admission Form must be submitted as part of the Post-Camp Reporting process.
With regard to discounts, the following actions are PERMISSIBLE:
- Providing free or reduced admission to a group registering a specified number of participants, as long as the reduced admission is available to all such groups.
- Providing free or reduced admission to children of coaches or administrators who work in the camp, as long as the reduced admission is considered part of that individual's compensation and such an opportunity is available to all such children.
- Providing free or reduced admission to children of staff and faculty at Robert Morris University, as long as the reduced admission is provided to all such children.
- Providing free or reduced admission to participants who have not yet entered the ninth grade.
With regard to discounts, the following actions are NOT PERMISSIBLE:
- Providing free or reduced admission to high-school, prep-school, or two-year-college athletics letter-winners, in the absence of an objective criteria such as the ones listed above. (For the purposes of this regulation, "high school" includes the ninth-grade level, 7th grade in men’s basketball, regardless of whether or not the ninth grade is part of a junior high-school system.).
- Permitting a representative of Robert Morris University’s athletics interests (booster) to pay a prospect's expenses to attend a camp/clinic.
