Student-athletes must dedicate anywhere from six to 10 hours each week to study hall as they work toward their ultimate goal, graduation.

The Victory Center provides student-athletes access to computers, tutors and other resources. The Victory Center, which is open six days a week BRENDA CODALLO LAUREN HICKEY-GARCIA (Sunday-Friday), houses a computer lab, a learning Assistant Athletic Director for Coordinator for Academic Services Student-Athlete Services lab, areas for both individual and group study, and offices for the Academic Advisement Center staff.
