Academic Planning, Schedule Review, and Monitoring of Degree Progress
Student-athletes are officially advised by University academic advisors in accordance with university policy. Athletics academic counselors provide pre-advising or post-advising for student-athletes to ensure that student-athletes understand University and NCAA requirements and actively participate in the advising process. Pre- and post-advising also ensures that academic schedules meet NCAA Progress to Degree requirements. The academic counselors focus on class selection, major selection, and tracking progress toward a chosen degree program, including the development of graduation plans with “time to graduate” as an important component. Student-athletes are encouraged to take responsibility for their own education. The academic support staff’s responsibilities include fostering, assisting, and informing the student-athlete of their best academic options.
The academic support unit monitors student-athletes' degree progress specifically by reviewing every student-athlete’s academic schedule each term (both walk-on and scholarship student-athletes). This process allows the counseling staff the ability to track potential eligibility issues as well as major interests and/or changes. This review process is an invaluable resource for all our student-athletes as it ensures that all course work taken is applicable towards their chosen degree program. This review process also allows the academic counseling staff the opportunity to evaluate potential academic and athletic balance issues as well as preventable time conflicts. Lastly this review process aids in our student-athletes academic experience as it affords the Academic Support Unit the opportunity to counsel and/or refer student-athletes to the appropriate university resources when necessary.
