Tips for Faculty
We have exceptional faculty at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. Thank you for everything you do. Below are just a few insights to help as you interact with Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ student-athletes.
- Student-athletes should be treated just the same as all students. Provide student-athletes the same opportunities as every enrolled student. Student-athletes should not get any special privileges.
- Sometimes student-athletes miss class as they represent Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ. Student absence policy
- Student-athletes are not permitted to miss class due to practice, meeting a coach, working out or receiving medical care.
- Student-athletes are not all the same. Some are on full scholarships, but there are others on partial scholarships, and some receive no scholarship support at all. Just like our overall Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ student population, student-athletes are a diverse group.
