Student-Athlete AEP Center

The Office of Student-Athlete Academic Services is located on the first floor of the James W. Wilson Jr. Center. The suite houses an up-to-date computer lab, the offices of the athletics academic counselors, and a quiet study area. The computer lab consists of 18 fully-equipped computers with several software programs, Internet access and e-mail capabilities.

In addition to the computer lab and staff offices, a general study area allows student-athletes to study in a quiet and controlled environment.

Academic Counseling

Advising Tulane student-athletes during their pursuit of an undergraduate degree is the single most important function of the Office of Student-Athlete Academic Services. The staff uses a collaborative approach that involves the student-athletes, department and college advisors, and the counselors of the  unit. Together, this group works to develop a unique plan of action for every Tulane student-athlete.

Each varsity sport at Tulane is assigned an academic counselor who understands the mission of Tulane  and the academic policies and philosophies that govern the university. Furthermore, the academic counselors provide accurate knowledge of university and college degree requirements, as well as NCAA standards. This knowledge includes an understanding of university and department academic courses, course content, and prerequisites needed for academic degrees.

Tulane's athletics academic counselors also possess skills that allow for one-on-one counseling. Student-athletes discuss their academic interests, personal needs and crisis situations with their counselors. If referrals to specialists are needed, Tulane's athletics department works closely with on-campus counseling organizations that provide professional counseling on a confidential basis.
