Win Mentoring

The WIN program is a structured, hands-on, individualized and intrusive study hall program that focuses on student effort rather than the number of hours required per week. The program teaches time management, organization and study skills through the setting of weekly objectives based on course requirements.

Academic Mentors are used on the front-line with students to model successful academic behavior and to assist with the implementation of the program.  Academic mentors write weekly narratives on students to keep Academic Coordinators and Coaches updated on S/A progress.
 

Tutoring Program

The tutoring program is available to all student-athletes and in all academic areas of study. To request tutorial help, stop by the ICAA Athletic Student Services Office and speak to your academic coordinator. If the request is approved, you will be assigned a tutor — requesting a tutor is up to the student-athlete. We assign tutors based off the student-athlete and the tutor’s schedule. Appointments can be made on a daily or weekly basis. 
 

Study Hall

All new freshman and transfer student-athletes are required to accumulate 5 hours of study hall per week in their first semester. After your first semester of attendance at Wichita State University and continuing through the completion of your fourth semester, the number of study hall hours will be determined by your academic performance the previous semester. Once a student-athlete enrolls in his/her fifth semester (except for a first-time semester), the number of study hall hours required will be determined by your previous semester's GPA or your cumulative GPA, whichever benefits the student-athlete.

GPA Threshold for Study Hall Hours           Study Hall Hours required per week
                        3.0                                                                    5

To complete the required FIVE hours every week you must do the following:

•       2 Hours – completed on your teams designated night in study hall.  On that specific night you will have from 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm to complete the 2 hours.

•       3 Hours – Completed anytime other than your teams specific night during regular student services hours.

•       Student-Athlete Orientation: Student-Athletes are welcomed to Wichita with an orientation program that provides guidance for the adjustment to college life.  Student-athletes are introduced to staff, faculty, administrators, and procedures that will help them navigate their first semester, and consequently their collegiate career at WSU.
