Academic Support for Student Athletes

Lafayette offers a range of services to student-athletes who face the dual challenge of performing well in the classroom while maintaining a commitment to varsity athletics. First-year student-athletes are assigned a peer mentor to help with the transition to Lafayette. In addition, academic enhancement workshops, structured study sessions, and access to specific educational technologies are all part of the program to assist students in meeting their academic obligations. A full-time Student-Athlete Academic Support Coordinator monitors student-athlete academic progress and coordinates with both faculty and coaches to provide specific resources to enhance success of struggling student-athletes.
