Study hall hours will be tallied on a daily and weekly basis (Monday through Sunday). Student athletes are encouraged to keep a personal record of how many study hall hours they have completed in case any discrepancies appear in the final weekly report. Coaches and students will be notified of any deficiencies in study hall requirements.
Coaches will hold study hall on the road for trips lasting two or more days during a week for all student-athletes. Coaches must notify the academic center monitor of all study hours completed on the road within one business day of the team's return so hours may be included in students' weekly study hall reports. Notification can be made via written submission. Students are required to fulfill all of their study hall requirements (eight hours per week) even when they travel during the week.
Failure to comply with the rules and regulations of the academic center and any other locations granting study hall hours may result in a student's temporary or permanent dismissal from those centers. In addition, the student will not receive credit for that particular study session.
Advising
The athletics academic coordinator/counselor will work with the Department of Advising to perform all advising responsibilities for undeclared student-athletes (i.e. registering for classes, dropping and adding classes, etc.) Students who have declared a major will be assigned an advisor in their major department. The athletics academic coordinator/counselor will only perform secondary advising responsibilities for declared majors (i.e. reviewing current or proposed classes for eligibility and degree progress purposes). All student-athletes need to see the athletics academic coordinator/counselor and major advisor (if major has been declared) prior to dropping classes. The coordinator/counselor will not be held responsible for students who drop below full-time status without first consulting their counselor. All student-athletes are encouraged to obtain a copy of their degree audit from the on-line registration system and submit a copy to the athletics academic coordinator.
Academic Progress Monitoring
Student-athletes’ academic progress will be monitored through weekly early-alert reports from the office of Student Success. All coaches and athletics academic support staff will receive summaries of student-athlete progress based on the information reported by the professors in the early-alert system.
Workshops and Convocations
The academic support staff will plan workshops and seminars for student-athletes throughout the year on a variety of topics ranging from career planning to sexual harassment. Student-athlete attendance at these workshops and seminars are advised and some may be required to attend. Student-athletes also will be required to attend select University convocations.
