The Advising component provides broad academic advising which responds to the specific needs of student-athletes. Students are assigned to advisors according to sport. Advisors also monitor the completion of breadth requirements. The Tutorial component promotes and enhances students' academic skills. Individual tutoring, drop-in tutoring, and group workshops and intensive special programs are some of the ways we provide services to students enrolled in mathematics, sciences, humanities, and social sciences courses.
Daytime assistance is also available on an appointment basis.
Students who require special academic assistance are monitored more closely. Most tutors are graduate students who have a professional commitment to education, and several tutors are former student-athletes who have a heartfelt commitment to working with athletes. Tutors must have demonstrated proficiency in their chosen subject area and must undergo a rigorous screening and interview process. The ASC works closely with the DSP to provide assistance for students with diagnosed learning disabilities. Tutorial assistance is provided by specialists associated with the DSP or with outside agencies.
