The mission of the athletic department is to provide a broad-based, diverse and gender-equitable program, built upon unconditional integrity with regard to the rules and regulations of the governance (CCCAA). The program must represent the best interests and qualities of the mission of Oxnard College. Oxnard College belongs to the very competitive Western State Conference, and abides by all the conference constitution bylaws and sports supplements.

The goals of the OC Intercollegiate Athletics program are to:

• Ensure all student-athletes are provided maximum opportunity and support for achieving their academic goals.
• Provide the best possible environment for each student-athlete to compete to the fullest extent of his or her capability.
• Establish support systems enabling student-athletes to become well-rounded, mature, and responsible citizens.
• Encourage student-athletes to assume leadership roles both on campus and in the community.
