Study Table Program

All first year student-athletes are required to attend study table a minimum of 8 hours per week. Those student-athletes with less than the required GPA (see chart below) may be required to spend 6 to 10 hours per week in study table. Student-athletes who obtain a cumulative GPA of 2.3 or greater will be exempt from study table.

1. A Student-athlete's cumulative grade point average is the indicator for determining the required number of hours. This is a sliding scale. The required number of hours per week of the cycle, based on GPAs are as follows:

0.00 - 2.00 = 10 hours
2.01 - 2.15 = 8 hours
2.16 - 2.30 = 6 hours

2. Hours spent with tutors count towards the required number of hours if the student-athlete and the tutor sign-in on the tutoring room log.

3. A reward system is in place for those who complete the required hours during the first week of each two week cycle. If you are assigned 8 hours, and you complete all 8 during the first week of the cycle, you only have 6 required hours in the second week of the cycle. Conversely, if you are assigned 8 hours, but you only complete 7 hours in the first week of the cycle, you are required to complete 8 hours again, plus the 1 hour you failed to complete in the first cycle, for a total of 9 hours in the second week of the cycle.

4. Should a student-athlete fail to fulfill the requirements for the two-week cycle, the student-athlete will be unable to attend a regularly scheduled practice, chosen by his/her coach.

5. The process repeats itself in weeks 3 and week 4 and continues throughout the semester. Check the calendar for a breakdown of the cycles for the Fall Semester.

2. No headphones or cell phones
3. Every time you leave study table, you must sign out
4. Talking will be kept to a minimum
