SASS: Academic Monitoring



FACT: Faculty-Advisor Communication Tools

SASS requests reports from professors after the first month of class for all freshmen, transfer students, and those identified by team advisors. At midsemester reports are requested for all enrolled student-athletes.
 
Travel Letters
Letters outlining the university's policy on excused absences are printed each semester for the professors of each student-athlete while in season. Student-athletes are responsible for providing each of their professors with these letters and a copy of their travel itinerary at the beginning of the semester. Professors will be provided information for those student-athletes who sustain an athletically related injury along with appropriate documentation from Sports Medicine and/or the athletic trainers.
 
General Reports

Weekly and bi-weekly reports are sent to coaches and athletic department staff regarding student-athlete attendance of required meetings, study hall, tutor usage updates, and other pertinent information. 

Student Athlete Support Services staff members are consistently in contact with advisors, professors, deans, support staff, and coaches regarding student-athletes' status and progress. 

 
NCAA Compliance
The SASS Director serves as the Certifying Officer for Continuing Eligibility and all SASS staff work with the Compliance Office in issues related to student-athlete academic eligibility.
