Education Specialist Program

The SAASS office has a full-time staff member devoted to assisting student-athletes who are the most academically challenged. Any student-athlete who has a documented learning disability qualifies for this program, and receives specialized one-on-one assistance to ensure a successful academic experience. In addition, the Education Specialist works closely with other resources on campus that provide services to students with disabilities, particularly the Center for Access-Ability Resources (CAAR) office. Student-athletes with developmental needs are also assisted through close one-on-one supervision and instruction in areas of concern.
