The goal of these programs is to take advantage of resources that are designed to improve a student's capacity to access and manage information important to their total development as a student-athlete. One of the most critical periods for invoking success occurs during the freshmen year. Therefore, all freshmen student-athletes are required to participate in a study table program designed to teach students how to structure their study time, and how to take advantage of available resources. Its focus is on addressing the individual needs of students who are referred to or request such support. To secure quality instruction, the majority of the tutorial support staff consists of upper-level undergraduates and graduate students recommended by UMCP faculty.
Tutors are free of financial charges.
A tutorial report is sent to each head coach in order that they can assist in providing encouragement and constructive feedback. In addition to campus computer resources, student-athletes have access to computer facilities designated for their use exclusively. The computer skills development program is designed to introduce and teach the necessary skills required making full use of computer software applications for the purpose of completing course assignments. In such cases, a student-athlete's physical presence in class is checked on a regular basis. Your obligation to compete may result in your being absent from class.
