Assessment
Supervised Study
Supervised study is a monitored study program designed to provide student-athletes with organized study and tutoring time in a flexible environment conducive to successful learning. Supervised study is required for all first-semester freshmen, transfer student-athletes, student-athletes with a cumulative GPA below 2.50, and any student-athlete who the coaching staff and the Student Life academic staff believe would benefit from the experience.
Supervised study is flexible for all student-athletes. Supervised study hours are 8 a.m. to 11:00 p.m. from Monday through Thursday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Fridays. All freshman and transfer student-athletes are required to put in 10 hours a week in their first semester at the University. Any study area or learning center is available for use during these times. The hours required by the student's adviser will be totaled at the end of each week.

Supplemental Instruction (SI)

To ensure our student-athletes reach their full academic potential, we offer a comprehensive program of Supplemental Instruction. The SI program provides additional support to our student-athletes in both lower division and upper division classes in order to ensure successful completion of classes with a grade that reflects their true academic ability. SI relies on an established network of students, tutors, facilitators, mentors, and professors working together to ensure the success of the student-athlete. |
Through the use of this network of individuals, Academic Services ensures that student-athletes receive instruction from tutors with content knowledge specifically chosen to facilitate athletes in each individual course. In addition to this, our tutors receive instruction from professional educators in study strategies and test taking skills. This expertise is transferred to our student-athletes in one to one sessions for those who require individual attention, or small group sessions in which the learning experience can be enhanced through dialogue with peers.
