The A+ Aggie Program teaches and promotes lifelong educational and personal skills for the student-athlete. Personalized attention is given for each student through student development specialists - academic mentors & tutors, academic advisors, and a learning specialist.

Program Goals

• Provide assistance, advice, teaching, and encouragement in both specific content areas and in general study skills.
• Develop thinking and homework skills so that students will progress and advance beyond the need to be mentored.

​Who are the A+ Aggies?
The A+ Aggie Program is for all student-athletes. It is primarily for student-athletes who need additional support and programs for their academic and personal development. All student-athletes are welcome to receive services provided by The A+ Aggie Program, but priority is given to those with a documented learning disability or those identified by the Learning Specialist and Department Director.

How does The A+ Aggie Program work?

• Each participant will be identified for placement.
• Participants can also be referred to the program by their academic coordinator, based on their educational background, academic success, or those who have special needs or accommodations for specific learning or physical abilities.
• The academic coordinator with the help of tutors, mentors and graduate assistants, will accommodate all student-athletes enrolled in the program by working together to set-up specific tutoring; weekly academic mentoring for general study skills; mandatory study hall hours; to provide an individualized program to meet the desired academic and personal development goals.
• Student-Athletes in the A+ Aggie Program may be screened for academic strengths and weaknesses so we can arrange detailed services and programs to meet individual needs and learning styles.
• Progress in the program will be closely monitored through communication with professors, coaches, academic coordinators, and reports from tutors and mentors.
