Tutoring is available in more than 75 courses for all student-athletes five nights a week. Over 50 computers are available for use in one of three monitored study areas reserved specifically for student-athletes. In addition, student-athletes may receive academic accommodations when traveling for competition. Learning Specialists are also on staff to work closely with students diagnosed with learning disabilities and help ease their transitional needs.
