HOFSTRA ACADEMIC SUPPORT
Hofstra University is committed to the pursuit of academic
and athletic excellence. The University views participation in
intercollegiate athletics as benefiting the student-athlete in an
educationally enhancing experience beyond any other opportunity
available. Hofstra also realizes the time commitment made by
student-athletes and has committed the
facilities and resources to support all
students.
The University Tutorial Program (UTP)
provides free tutoring in every subject
area to any Hofstra student. Students
are able to obtain up to 1 1/2 hours of
individual tutorial assistance per week for
up to three courses. They are also able to
utilize the various help labs on campus,
which specialize in providing assistance
in writing, business and QM, and biology
and chemistry. In addition to this service,
student-athletes are assigned an academic
advisor, through the Center for University
Advisement, who helps address the various
needs of student-athletes. The academic
advisor emphasizes four areas in their efforts
to ensure the academic success of Hofstra’s
student-athletes.
Area one is academic counseling. Services
are provided in the areas of academic
planning, career planning, personal
counseling, and campus and community referrals. The advisor also
meets with prospective student-athletes, at the coach’s request, to
share the many benefits of a Hofstra University education.
Area two is academic advising. The
academic advisor serves as the primary
advisor for first-year and undecided studentathletes,
and also assists upperclassmen who
have declared a major.
Area three is academic monitoring. The
advisor monitors the academic progress of
60 — 2011 Hofstra Men’s Lacrosse
student-athletes to ensure compliance with Hofstra University,
NCAA and conference regulations. The advisor’s regular
communication with the faculty and coaches provide opportunities
for early intervention should academic difficulties arise.
Area four is study halls. The University
Tutorial Program supports athletic study halls
by providing tutors in various subjects as
necessary. The academic advisors also assess
the needs of individual student-athletes to
provide the most effective study environment.
The assessment tool administered by the
Center for University Advisement is also used
to provide various enrichment seminars for
the student-athletes such as time management,
writing skills, campus resources, and
surviving the college transition.
In 2010 The Fried Family Student-Athlete
Development Center was opened on the second
level of the James M. Shuart Stadium Building.
The center houses the offices of the Student-Athlete
Services Staff, as well as a large computer lab with
printer access for use by Hofstra student-athletes,
a quiet study area with wireless internet access and
two group study/tutor
rooms with power point
access and white boards.
