Academic Support Services for Student Athletes

Academic Support Services provides a welcoming, confidential environment that encourages the student throughout their academic career, contributing to their intellectual, personal, and social development toward the completion of a Ball State Degree and preparation for life. Through individual monitoring and academic counseling, workshops, and study table participation, student athletes are challenged to become pro-active, to develop time-management and study strategies, and to stretch their individual sense of responsibility and maturity.

We address student athlete needs which affect academic performance such as:

Transition-to-college issues
Identification of goals
Development of an academic plan
Enrichment of study skills
Independent and self-disciplined learning
Ownership of personal, academic, and social responsibility

Academic Support Services provides coordination with University programs, collaborating with them to provide programming, and encourage the use of services to promote student success.
