Supervised Study Time

All first year student-athletes are required to attend at least four hours of supervised study time per week. Also known as Study-table, this time is provided so that students become more easily acclimated to the demands of college life. For those students who will benefit from a more structured approach, dates and times for study are set by the staff in consultation with the student's coaches. For those who have shown that they are able to do well academically, no mandatory study-table time is required. 

Weekly Advising Meetings

All student-athletes are required to attend weekly meetings with their primary athletic academic advisor. The student and the advisor review classes, homework, exams and study goals together. 

Tutoring

The Athletic Academic Advising Program provides one-on-one tutoring assistance to all student-athletes free of charge. The Program provides tutors in a wide range of subject areas, as well as academic strategies and study skills. Tutors provide guidance and support from the beginnings of the thought process through the completion of the project. All tutors are highly qualified and trained. Although the majority are high achieving undergraduates, a significant percentage are graduate students, adjunct faculty members and retired educators. 

Career Development Services

Of course, after their careers at DePaul, our students go on to seek fulfilling careers in their chosen fields of endeavor. Our program helps to make this a more smooth transition with career development guidance. Our career development advisor assists students with every phase of the transition from college to the working world, in cooperation with DePaul's Career Center. Through this collaboration, students can take advantage of resume writing and interviewing skills workshops and job search strategy seminars.
