C.A.T.S. (Commitment to an Athlete's Total Success) designed for academic study: 1. The C.A.T.S. Advising Center -Houses five academic advisors -Work areas available for student-athletes to have individualized tutoring sessions 2. The C.A.T.S. Learning Center -Houses three full-time Learning Specialists, Tutorial Coordinator, and Math & Science Center -Wireless Internet Access available for student use The student-athlete meets initially with an academic advisor or member of a college advising center staff to review an academic plan based on the student-athlete’s academic background, career objectives and areas of interest and declared major. Once this meeting has concluded, the student-athlete may register for classes. The CATS Academics counselors work cooperatively with academic advisors throughout the university to ensure progress towards a degree as well as compliance with all NCAA eligibility requirements. The Directed Studies Program has a two-pronged approach to meet the academic needs of incoming freshmen and continuing studentathletes who have transitional issues. All first year student–athletes have required study hall hours. Students meet with Academic Learning Specialists, academic mentors, content-based tutors, or a combination of all three, to ensure a successful and seamless move into the university community. Learning Specialists meet daily with those student-athletes who may require additional academic attention. The Learning Specialists provide a more focused approach to the rigors of academia while guiding the program’s mentors and content-based tutors in providing additional academic assistance. The academic mentors assist with time management, study skills and the transition to college. In addition to academic mentors, tutors are available, if needed, in specialized subjects. These outstanding graduate and undergraduate students are recruited from all academic departments and are selected on the basis of faculty recommendation and demonstrated knowledge of subject area. They are recruited, hired, and supervised by the C.A.T.S Tutorial Coordinator. The services provided by the tutorial staff are an integral part of the total C.A.T.S. Academic Program and are an invaluable learning resource for busy student-athletes. C.A.T.S. Academics facilities are comprised of the four main areas 3. The C.A.T.S. Computer Lab -Forty-three (43) stand alone computers featuring Microsoft Office Professional word processing and several spreadsheet programs and full high speed internet access. -Student-athletes can access the Discover Career Exploration program from each computer. -The Computer facility is open and supervised 70 hours per week, and the lab is maintained by a full-time employee. -Three laser printers compliment the lab. 4. 120-Seat Auditorium -Seats 60 for quiet study -Seats 60 for tutorial appointments Thomas Lott Track and Field Academics Counselor Thomas Lott is currently in his second season at The University of Arizona serving as Academic Advisor to the UA track and field, cross country, soccer and volleyball athletes.
