Table of Contents

The Athletic Department, through the Office of Academic Support Services, sponsors an educational enhancement program called The Academy. The program is designed to facilitate the transition from high

school to college. Students participate in workshops on time management, test-taking strategies, note-taking techniques, study skills, academic objectives, the honor code, career planning and goal setting. Participation in the program is required of all freshman student-athletes. Student-athletes, under the guidance of the Assistant Athletics Director of Academic Support Services, will be responsible for organizing and implementing an

individual study plan. Students who fail to attend The Academy on a regular basis may be subject to suspension from practice or competition.Â
