Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS)

CAS promotes standards in student affairs, student services, and student development programs. NIRSA’s Standards Committee works with a NIRSA Member representative to the CAS Board to periodically review and update the standards relating to collegiate recreational sports.

The Recreational Sports Programs: CAS Standards and Guidelines, adopted by CAS in 2007 can be found in the members only section of the NIRSA website and will also be published in the next edition of the CAS Professional Standards for Higher Education, slated for fall 2009.

Also available in the NIRSA Members Only section is the The Role of Recreational Sports: CAS Standards Contextual Statement.
