Duties of the SHN :

The status of top-level student athlete requires all students to :

  • be actively involved in the success of their university project. With this in mind, the student undertakes in particular to provide any new information relating to his or her sporting activities that may have an impact on the monitoring and success of his or her studies (changes in training load, internships, competition schedule, injuries, etc.);
  • follow the curriculum defined in the project and take the tests provided for in the contract;
  • respond to any summons from the person in charge of the year or the SHN correspondent, to review the progress of his or her studies;
  • represent and promote the image of the Savoie Mont-Blanc University at various events, university competitions or any other requests;
  • use the university's sports facilities in accordance with the regulations governing these facilities.

    Failure by the student to respect his or her commitments or the annual SHN contract will result in the abrogation of the status by decision of the university president after consultation with the referent teacher and the SHN correspondent. Withdrawal of the status entails termination of the annual SHN contract and withdrawal of the associated facilities.
