Academic Advising

We serve as the central source of academic advising to Áù¾ÅÉ«ÌÃ’s NCAA student-athletes. We offer the following services and programs: 

New student-athlete orientation is done in conjunction with the university’s Student Orientation, Advising and Registration (SOAR) program. You will be introduced to the many resources and services available at Áù¾ÅÉ«Ìà through SOAR and then you will go to the BAC for individualized assistance with registering for courses.

All student-athletes – whether they are freshmen or seniors – are required to meet with their academic counselor prior to registration. During your advising appointment, academic counselors will assist you with complete degree program planning, including:

  • Assistance in identifying and clarifying your educational and vocational goals;
  • Major and career planning;
  • Course sequencing and selection;
  • Assistance in interpreting NCAA academic rules of eligibility;
  • Overall assistance with university regulations and baccalaureate degree requirements, and,
  • Interpreting university degree audits.

Student-athletes are provided early registration to ensure classes do not conflict with practice sessions or intercollegiate events and to enable them to maintain NCAA progress toward degree completion.
