The purpose of Athletic Academic Advising is to assist all student-athletes in realizing their academic potential by providing support and continuously monitoring their academic athletic eligibility and progress toward degree, all the while instilling in student-athletes the tools to become academically competent and autonomous as they pursue their degrees.
