Minimum Standards – cord

To receive a student-athlete cord from the Department of Athletics, the student-athlete will need to be a graduate and in good standing with the team, having completed at least two seasons of eligibility or have been on the roster for the entire fall and spring semester of their senior year.

Minimum Standards – stole

To receive a student-athlete stole from the Department of Athletics, the student-athlete will need to be a graduate and in good standing with the team, having completed four seasons of eligibility whether at UMW or as a transfer student to UMW.
