The purpose of this qualitative study was to expand the literature on Division III student-athletes by examining their integration into the social and academic systems at one institution located in northeastern United States. This study examined participants' experiences within institutional social and academic systems designed for student-athletes through the lens of Comeaux and Harrison's (2011) theoretical framework. Comeaux and Harrison's theory is typically applied to Division I institutions, and this study focused on the theory as applied to a Division III institution, an institutional type that tends to have limited support services for student-athletes when compared to Division I institutions. Data included daily time use logs and semi-structured interviews with 13 participating student-athletes. Analysis of data noted thematic responses to elements of Comeaux and Harrison's theory, including: (a) students' precollege characteristics; (b) students' initial commitments to their goals, sport, and institution; (c) students' social and academic setting within the institution and whether or not it yields social and academic integration; and (d) a reevaluation of their goal, sport, and institutional commitments. The participating student-athletes' responses in the realm of social and academic integration noted that they perceived that they could perform effectively, and felt self-confident, in both academics and athletics; however, they remained critical of ways the institution's support services could better accommodate student-athletes at the Division III level. Implications for practice and theory are provided, especially concerning increasing opportunities for student-athlete and faculty interactions.
