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.
