It is a requirement for all student athletes to perform an initial drug test at the start of the fall season, as well as random screens throughout the rest of the year. Each student-athlete is also required to have a completed physical prior to the start of practice. The official colors for VC are royal blue and gray, and the college mascot is the chaparral (roadrunner). Vernon College student athletes are required to adhere to the policies outlined in the Vernon College Athletic Policy and Procedure Manual.
