Student-athletes at Saint Peter's University enjoy a tremendous environment for academic success thanks to the resources, programs and services offered by both the athletics department and the University's academic support system.

To have success both on and off the playing field, student-athletes are encouraged to take advantage of all the resources offered by the institution's academic support services. Student-athletes have access to the Student-Athlete Academic Center for Excellence, located conveniently in the Yanitelli Center, the home of the athletics department. Additionally, the Saint Peter's CASE Center (Center for Academic Success and Learning) offers tutoring sessions on an individual and group basis.

All freshmen and transfer student-athletes are required to participate in the Academic Progress Program, which is coordinated by the Director of Student-Athlete Academic Support. First-
Year and Transfer students are required to complete study hall hours each week and also attend academic meetings with either the Director of Student-Athlete Academic Support or the Graduate Assistant. After the first semester, participation in the Academic Progress Program will be evaluated based on the cumulative GPA and credit hours earned during the student-athlete's initial first semester at Saint Peter's.

The Athletics Academic Office is responsible for monitoring each student-athlete's progress toward a degree while maintaining athletic eligibility. The Athletics Academic Office works with the University's Certifying Officer to verify accuracy of eligibility information.

The Athletics Academic Office also helps student-athletes to coordinate classes with practice and competition schedules to best suit them in maintaining a healthy balance.
