Planned Academic Study Sessions

Planned Athletic Study Sessions (PASS) are mandatory for all first semester student athletes, all student athletes on probation, and for any other student athletes designated by one of the Academic Advisors for Athletes, the Head Coach, or the Athletic Director. PASS provides academic support focusing on the following areas: setting academic goals, reporting grades, completing assignments, and obtaining tutoring when needed.

Study Groups are small and intimate with seven to ten student athletes in each group. A graduate student leader maintains each study group and serves as a tutor and mentor, providing assistance with coursework, helping student athletes with study skills, and supervising an atmosphere that promotes active learning.

For more information about PASS, contact Jean Roberts, Interim Coordinator Academic Services for Student Athletes, at 828/262-2291 (robertsjh@appstate.edu).
