The primary objective is to offer the necessary resources for the academic success of student-athletes as they work to earn their degree. Academic Support services are designed to enhance the student-athlete's overall collegiate experience and encourage development and attainment of academic and career goals. All USD student athletes have access to advising, tu– toring and mentoring services. The mentoring program, Access, was developed in 1999 and teams a graduate stu– dent in the Counseling program with an athlete who would like to enhance study skills, learn about campus resources and receive guidance on goal development and attainment. Student-athletes also have access to the Writing, Math and Logic Centers. They can also take advantage of the resources available to them in the Career Center, Counseling Center and Computer Labs.
