“Advising Student-Athletes: A Model for Academic Success”
Region 9 Las Vegas, NV
NACADA/NCAA sponsored pre-conference seminar
Wednesday, March 7, 2012 1:00 - 2:45 pm
The “Advising Student-Athletes” pre-conference seminar will provide the framework to assist academic advisors in both two- and four-year institutions in creating academic plans that focus on student success and persistence to graduation while addressing the various academic, social, and collegiate-athletic issues facing student-athletes.
The faculty will lead participants through:
· Discussions of principles involved in academic advising for student-athlete success
· Recently approved NCAA Academic Standards for new, transfer and continuing students
· Developing an action plan that is both student-athlete and institution specific.
· Case studies that illustrate how the new academic standards impact advising practices and students’ successful progression through and between our institutions
Who should attend:
Academic advisors from both 2 and 4 year institutions will benefit from this seminar. Two-year college advisors will understand how to help prepare the student-athlete for transfer to a 4 year institution and position them for academic success using the new standards. Academic advisors from 4 year institutions will understand first-year, transfer, and continuing student success and persistence.
