Study Tables
The athletic department, in conjunction with the Center for Learning Strategies (CLS), offers open study tables for current student-athletes that meet the criteria. Students-athletes included in the program are expected to accumulate at least 3 hours of study and/or tutor time per week. Study tables are located in Starr 114 which also serves as the CSL walk-in tutoring lab.Â
Student-athletes are required to sign-in upon arrival and sign-out upon leaving. Students will receive all of the amenities of available tutoring assistance as well as a quiet place to complete their work. Â
In addition, pre-set, one-on-one tutoring sessions (with CSL tutors and/or professors) can also be counted in the weekly study hour accumulation. Â
Study tables run the entire academic year and participants can change based on academic alerts, mid-term grades, final grades and grade point averages.

Academic Alerts
The athletic department closely monitors the academic status of student-athletes by responding to academic alerts submitted by the faculty. This information is vital to continued success as it permits administrators, coaches and students the ability to formulate a positive course of action to improve in the cited areas of attention.
