The student athletes at MSU receive personal attention from the Academic Advisor for Athletics in order to provide the student-athletes the opportunity to help athletes help themselves by linking the athletic and the academic community.
Information is given about appropriate sources of college advising and assistance.
In addition, the ASA staff works with the Academic Advising staff to ensure that student-athletes are provided the opportunity to take classes that complement the demands of their schedules. Progress reports are sent to each professor for a mid-semester evaluation. The Academic Advisor for Athletics receives and assesses the reports and works closely with the coaching staff to assist those who are in academic danger. In the event that a problem is discovered, ASA guides the student in finding the proper method of academic success, such as free tutoring, workshops, or requesting additional help. The Office of Tutorial Services provides a comprehensive tutoring service on a daily basis.
