Mission of Academic Services

Green Wave student-athlete academic services complement Tulane University’s mission by being committed to recognizing academic counseling as being a critical component of the educational experience of our student-athletes. The duty of academic counseling for student-athletes at Tulane is to assist students as they develop meaningful educational plans to help them achieve their life goals, ultimately including, but not limited, to college graduation.

The primary concerns of this department are the academic, personal and professional development of our student-athletes, and their ability to function and be successful in the university setting.

It is our purpose to significantly and positively influence student-athletes through:

• Providing information regarding our services during the recruiting process.
• Discussing goals and plans during the pre-college orientation period to assure that all student-athlete schedules are appropriate.
• Clarifying life and career goals.
• Developing sound academic attitudes and practices that will enable the student-athlete to be an autonomous, self-regulated learner.
• Interpreting institutional requirements.
• Interpreting NCAA requirements.
• Providing information and access to institutional support services.
• Maintaining a high level of professionalism
• Mentoring through professional relationships that provoke integrity, responsibility and healthy lifestyle through dialogue and by example.
