Athletic Success Program

Grand View has many resources available to help you succeed in and out of the classroom. Among them is the Athletic Success program, designed to give student athletes the support and resources they need to balance success in their chosen sports with academic achievement. Under the direction of the Athletic Success Coordinator, the program helps coordinate campus resources such as study tables, tutoring, math lab and writing lab for student athletes who can benefit from them. The Coordinator also serves as a liaison between the athletic staff and the faculty to identify student athletes' needs for academic support early on.

All Grand View coaches are part of the Athletic Success program, serving as mentors and monitoring returning student athletes as they move toward graduation. With the Athletic Success Coordinator, they also help develop and evaluate programs for incoming students to help them succeed in the classroom. While Grand View's five-year graduation rate for student athletes, based on the class of 1999, is about ten percentage points higher than the average for institutions in our category, we're committed to continued improvement. The Athletic Success program's goal is to move every student athlete successfully toward graduation.
