Duties of YSU's Athletic Academic Counselors
- Hold mandatory study tables for all freshmen, transfers,
at-risk and student-athletes with a grade-point average below 2.5. Special
attention is devoted to the development of study skills, time management,
academic goals and specific skills necessary for the student to pursue and excel
in career preparation.
- Receive semester progress checks from faculty. YSU faculty
members are asked to evaluate student-athletes' progress throughout the
semester. Reports are compiled and discussed with head coaches.
- Hold semester meetings with University Athletic Advisors.
Athletes are required to meet with the academic advisers in their degree program
each semester during the duration of their YSU academic careers.
- Analyze available academic data. Academic counselors
examine transcripts and test scores of new and returning student-athletes to
identify potential levels of academic achievement.
- Counsel student-athletes on academic options. Consideration
is given to the student-athletes' strengths and weaknesses and educational
needs, including identifying problems and making referrals to various support
services.
- Maintenance of individual curriculum sheets and completion
of satisfactory progress report forms. This enables academic counselors to
evaluate student-athletes in terms of academic eligibility and degree
completion.
