Academic Support Program for Student Athletes

• Our program provides excellent academic advising, particularly for freshmen.
• Our students need more education on diversity issues, especially those related to sexual orientation.
• We do an excellent job of moving student athletes from undecided to a major by their fifth semester.
• Our academic integrity program significantly impacts our new students’ knowledge about cheating in the university and increases the knowledge of our tutors who are in close contact with our student athletes.

What have we improved in our program through engaging in the assessment process?

• We improved our program through “Project Evaluation” during which the staff discussed every phase of activity, including those assessed over the last two years.
• We also improved our program by hiring a Learning Specialist and four graduate assistants to enhance our services to at risk student athletes.
• We increased the orientation and ongoing training available to our tutors.
• We continued to increase our knowledge of NCAA guidelines.

What policy changes have we made as a result of engaging in the assessment process?

• All tutors must complete the training workshop before starting to tutor and must sign the appropriate documents related to compliance.
• All Fall 2003 MDS 101C classes will focus on academic matters instead of including other non-academic subjects.
