Student-Athlete Services
Priority Registration
Student-athletes receive priority registration to allow them to fit their academic requirements around their practice and competition schedule.
Academic Training Tables
Mentors are assigned to student-athletes in order to help these individuals gain the understanding and importance of time management between the classroom and the playing field. While teaching skills such as these, mentors also assist in tracking the student-athlete's progress through their semester course work.
Study Table
All new student-athletes or any returning student-athlete with a grade point average below 2.5 are required to attend structured study sessions. In addition to study time, this gives student-athletes the opportunity to meet with tutors for specific subjects.

Tutoring
Tutors are available to student-athletes on an as-need basis.
