Location: 2108 University Center D Phone: 644-9201 Fax: 644-2188 Athletic Academic Support Mission Statement The primary focus of the Athletic Academic Support Program is to provide an environment which facilitates the academic success of each student athlete. Student success is encouraged through competent academic counseling, study skills development, individualized assessment and support, and a wide array of tutorial services. An Overview of an Award-Winning Academic Support ProgramAcademic, personal, and professional support are essential to college success. At The Florida State University, we have developed an outstanding support program which enables student athletes to reach their full potential. Mark Meleney, Director, states "Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program integrated with the total University that will assist all student athletes with the transition into college and provide continued support in all phases of academic and professional development, culminating with graduation, job placement, or graduate school".Our program operates on a "proactive" rather than "reactive" approach.
Our academic staff does not wait for crises to occur. We gather important
background information on each entering student athlete, build an academic
profile, and develop individualized support programs which are tailored
to the unique needs of each student athlete. We also stay informed on the
daily progress of the student athletes through consistent
communication with our faculty. The academic support unit is housed in the $126 million dollar, state-of-the-art
University Center Complex. It includes private study carrels, a tutorial
study area, and a computer lab outfitted with 16 IBM compatible computers and laser jet printers. In addition, the athletic
sky boxes are used for group and individualized tutorial instruction. The academic support staff is comprised of the following:
In addition, the academic support staff has several graduate assistants, individualized learning specialists, and a cadre of about 70 tutors and mentors. |
