Club Sports

1. List of Approved Club Sports
   A club sport is an athletic activity. An athletic activity is defined as being physical in nature and having a winner or loser determined by either score or time. To be recognized as such, a club sport (team) must meet the following test:

   2. The club (team) consists of participants from more than one institution.
   3. The club (team) competes against off-campus competition.

Currently recognized club sports (teams) at The Claremont Colleges are:

These are the only clubs or teams that should be considered for institutional funding and facility use. For any other club or team to be considered, it must meet the approval by the Office of Risk Management and the Club Sports program director. The criteria that would be used to consider other approved club sports would be:

• College willingness and ability to cover the proposed club (team) on the college’s insurance plan.
• Availability of playing and/or practice opportunities for existing approved clubs.
• No duplication of a varsity sport sponsored by the athletic departments.

2. Use of name “The Claremont Colleges” by clubs
   No club/team engaged in any athletic activity shall use the name “The Claremont Colleges” or any of the individual college names to define their club/team without being registered through the Club Sports Office. Should a club/team utilize the designation “The Claremont Colleges” without authorization, disciplinary procedures will be enforced by the appropriate agency of The Claremont Colleges.
3. Club Sport Funding
   No organization that competes as a club sport (team) and is on the list of approved and sponsored club sports by “The Claremont Colleges” should receive any funding from any organization(s) associated with The Claremont Colleges unless they are registered with the Club Sports Office.

Academic Resources & Student Success

More information about our services can be found on the Academic Resources and Student Success website.

Accessible Education

The Office of Accessible Education coordinates and manages academic and housing accommodations for students with documented disabilities and chronic medical conditions. OAE also provides short-term accommodations for students who have temporary disabilities such as broken limbs, hand/wrist injuries, concussions, and short-term impairment while recovering from surgery or medical treatments. Students who need academic or housing accommodations due to a disability should apply through the AIM portal and upload the necessary medical documentation. Documentation guidelines can be found on the office’s website. Once the application is complete, they can schedule an appointment with the Assistant Dean of Accessibility Services by emailing access@g.hmc.edu.

Campus Life

Students seeking diversions that are athletic, religious, literary, artistic, social, political or simply entertaining are likely to find a group at The Claremont Colleges that matches their interest. Many students find that the number of co-curricular activities that interest them far exceeds their spare time. Most student groups are always looking for new members. The key to making the academic experience a success is to supplement it with co-curricular activities.

At HMC, three student activity-coordinating groups exist to plan and implement a variety of events and programs. The Social Committee and the Committee for Activities Planning (CAP) are student government groups that provide funding and support for on- and off-campus events.

The associate dean for campus life and the assistant dean for campus life also plan and implement student activities on campus. A group of students (known as student activity assistants or DSA Muchachos) is hired yearly to increase fun opportunities for students and coordinate non-alcoholic events.

Since 1998, HMC’s Linde Activities Center (LAC) has been the hub of students’ recreational and fitness activities. The LAC has aerobics and weight rooms, meeting rooms, a basketball court, and a gaming area, including foosball, billiards and ping pong. Located at the east side of campus, the LAC is open to all students of The Claremont Colleges.

Career Services

Whether students are considering an internship, summer research, a job or graduate school, there are career advisors to help students prepare documents ranging from resumes and cover letters to personal statements for research experiences for undergraduates (REUs) or graduate school. Help is also available regarding internship/job search techniques, networking, decision making and much more.

Appointments may be scheduled Monday through Friday and can be made through the Handshake platform. Students may stop by if they have a quick question, and attend designated walk-in hours which will be shared on the website as times and locations will vary throughout the year. The Office of Career Services operating hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. during the school year except when the campus is closed. A description of services, programs and resources, including access to the Career Guide, is available at hmc.edu/career-services.

Civic and Community Engagement

The Office of Civic and Community Engagement (OCCE) works collectively with our campus and the broader community to educate and empower one another to be informed and engaged members of a community that makes meaningful contributions to society.

Community engagement enhances students’ skills in areas such as putting theory into practice, understanding ethical issues, and recognizing community needs and assets. Community engagement gives students an opportunity to experience the intersect between technology and social justice. The Office of Civic and Community Engagement (OCCE) can assist by:

• Facilitating community partner agreements.

• Creating a plan that meets both the mission of student organization and community partner.
