TUTORING
The Athletic Department also offers Peer Tutoring, which is conducted by our junior or senior student-athletes who have achieved excellence in the subject area being tutored in.
The Center for Reading and Writing offers one-on-one, face-to-face consulting sessions in writing, reading, and study skills. We encourage ALL Ramapo students to visit our Reading and Writing Center, whether you want to improve your reading, learn strategies for strengthening your writing, or brush up on study skills.
The Center also offers Student Workshops on a range of topics from writing the argument paper to critical reading and MLA, APA, and Turabian/Chicago style guidelines. These 30-45 minute workshops are facilitated by Center staff, faculty and peer tutors.
MONITORED STUDY HALLS
Some of the student-athletes who are experiencing academic difficulty are required to attend study hall three hours a week. These study halls take place in the classroom in the Bill Bradley Sports and Recreation Center. Study halls will be monitored to ensure that our student-athletes are utilizing study time to the fullest.
CLASS CONFLICTS/PRACTICE/COMPETITION
Before registering for classes, each student-athlete should contact their coach to discuss practice session and game times. It is imperative for the student-athlete to plan in advance so that class and travel time conflicts are kept to a minimum.
CLASS ATTENDANCE
In order to succeed in the classroom, student-athletes must attend all their classes in a punctual manner. Class attendance and participation is essential to academic success. Poor class attendance is a major factor in academic failure. This can also jeopardize an athlete's eligibility.
TRAVEL NOTIFICATION
It is the responsibility of each student-athlete to provide their professors a letter notifying them of missed class time due to travel for a game. This letter is available on the Ramapo College Athletics’ website under “Student-Athlete”. It needs to be signed by the people listed and returned.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS MONITORING AND REPORTING
The AAEP sends out academic progress surveys to all student-athletes’ professors during the semester. These reports indicate attendance, participation and if the student is having academic difficulty. The professor also has the opportunity to provide comments concerning their student, including recommendation for tutoring, need for tutoring, etc. Student-athletes who received deficient progress reports must meet with their coach to discuss ways to improve their academics.
