A LOOK AT MSU STUDENT-ATHLETE SUPPORT SERVICES

Academic, personal, and professional support is essential to college success. At MSU, Student-Athlete Support Services (SASS), housed within the Clara Bell Smith Center, helps student-athletes reach their full potential.

Our philosophy is to offer an academic support program that will assist all student-athletes with the transition to college and integrate with the total university. This all-encompassing support continues throughout the student-athlete's collegiate career, until the day he or she receives a diploma, lands a job, or enters graduate school.

Academic counseling, career exploration, planning and placement, and academic assistance through tutorial programs are just some of the ways we encourage student success.

Being proactive rather than reactive, our staff does not wait for an academic crisis to occur. We gather important background information and build an academic profile on each student-athlete, assessing his or her needs in advance. We also stay informed on the daily progress of each student-athlete.

Freshmen and transfer student-athletes encounter a major transition when making the switch from high school or community college to a university. These students, while adjusting to their new routines, receive extra attention and support.

College is not easy. But with hard work and dedication from both the student-athlete and the support staff, the student-athlete can have a successful college experience. There are a total of 13 staff members to assist in and work with the following:

  • Priority registration
  • Track academic progress
