MISSION STATEMENT
The mission of the Athletic-Academic Enhancement Program (AAEP) is to provide our athletes with academic support in order to achieve academic success. The AAEP provides our student-athletes individual attention in advisement and tutoring and is assigned a faculty advisor who they should meet once a semester to discuss requirements to graduate.  The AAEP is committed to encourage our student-athletes to reach their academic potential.  It is not just about keeping our student-athletes eligible but it is also our responsibility to encourage them to reach their potential.

GOALS

REGISTRATION
To make sure that all student-athletes are registered for appropriate classes and to ensure that they are on track for graduation.  To make sure their schedule meets the demands of practice and competition schedules as best they can.  We initially encourage all student-athletes to meet with their individual assigned academic advisors. And we offer individual assistance for those who require special attention.

IDENTIFICATION
Identify any student-athlete who is having difficulty in a class and monitor their progress through our academic progress reports.

ASSIST
Assist the student-athletes who are struggling by arranging tutoring or extra help from professors or other qualified individuals.

CHART
Chart the progress of each student-athlete by running appropriate reports on a regular basis and keep each coach and the administrators well-informed.
