Cal State Fullerton places a high priority on the academic success of its student-athletes. The institution supports this priority through the provision of resources such as Athletics Academic Services.
The mission of Athletics Academic Services is to provide effective academic and life skills resources to assist student-athletes in reaching their academic goals.
Athletics Academic Services works closely with faculty, coaches and other student support offices to ensure that all Titan student-athletes have the opportunity to adjust to university life, succeed in the classroom, and make sound educational and career choices. Such support programs include:
ACADEMIC ADVISEMENT
General education advisement is available by appointment or on a walk-in basis in the Athletics Academic Advisement Office- LH 215. Student-athletes are advised to select the appropriate courses that will allow them to maintain athletic eligibility while successfully completing an academic program. Students with declared majors are referred to faculty advisors in their major departments. The advisement process encourages student-athletes to take ownership of their academic progress and make appropriate decisions regarding their goals.

ACADEMIC PROGRESS REPORTS
Athletics Academic Services requests mid-semester grade-checks for every student-athlete at least once per semester. Grade-check forms are sent to individual professors and completed forms are reviewed by program staff to determine if a student-athlete is making satisfactory academic progress. If a student's progress is determined to be unsatisfactory, Athletics Academic Services brings together coaches, faculty, and the student-athlete to address concerns and make any necessary referrals and/or plans for improvement.
TITAN ACADEMIC SUCCESS PROGRAM
