Athletics - Academic Advisement

As a student-athlete, you are now embarking upon an opportunity of a lifetime, the chance to receive a degree from a major university and to excel in a competitive sports program. To accomplish both, there are certain requirements that you must be aware of regarding eligibility and graduation.

Although graduation may seem like a lifetime away, it really is not. You are encouraged to meet regularly with your Academics Advisor in order to stay updated with the academic and athletic eligibility requirements.

Any time questions arise regarding academic and/or athletic eligibility, contact your Academics Advisor. Listed below are the Advisors and their assigned sports*. You can find your Advisor in Johnson Center.
