The purpose of the program is to facilitate the student-athlete's comprehension of specific subject areas through the guidance of a tutor. This program continually strives to meet the needs of student-athletes through careful monitoring and evaluation of their academic progress. Tutorial opportunities are open to all student-athletes, including those who are not required to maintain the Individual Study Plan. Tutors assist the student-athletes in classroom like sessions. Sessions are offered several times a week to maximize the opportunity for each sport to participate.
Coaches receive monthly calendars of the tutorial sessions offered.
Although coaches make these calendars available for all athletes, individuals should contact the head coach when a tutor is needed. If an athlete needs assistance in an area that is not offered, please contact the academic counselor, so that a session may be scheduled. The Athletic Department fosters total student-athlete growth by offering seminars, team workshops, resource materials, and more. Samaritan's Purse, with the help of countless volunteers, schools, families and churches, provide for over 3 million children in some 70 countries with Christmas gifts each year. The Athletic Department operates in a manner designed to protect and enhance the physical and educational welfare of student-athletes, as well as, to expand the opportunities available for participation whether they be athletic or any other extra curricular activities.
