Background

Located near the freshman dorms and the university dining hall, the AAC is an integral part of the life of Bobcat student-athletes and has a vast amount of services and assistance available. The AAC is structured to provide student-athletes with the five basic components, Academic Excellence, Athletic Excellence, Community Service, Career Development and Personal Development. The AAC, which is open six days a week (Sunday-Friday), houses a state-of-the-art computer lab, a learning lab, areas for both individual and group study, and offices for the AAC staff.

The AAC is led by an Assistant Athletic Director with the help of an Associate Director, three Student Development Specialists, a Life Skills Coordinator, four Graduate Assistants, and university-trained tutors. The AAC staff, in conjunction with the Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance, strives to educate student-athletes about the numerous NCAA rules and regulations while monitoring student-athletes progress for continuing eligibility.

Each student-athlete works with their college (Major) advisor to make sure that they are enrolled in the correct classes to graduate. The AAC staff verifies the classes to ensure that the student-athlete is working towards their degree, making yearly satisfactory progress and meeting GPA requirements.
