Student-Athlete Study Hall

Study hall is provided for student-athletes at the request of their coaches. It is designed to offer a quiet, dedicated workspace for studying in the Ritchie Center. Student-athletes who have been assigned study hall hours should arrive prepared with relevant materials from their classes, which must be presented to the study hall monitor upon check-in. It is the responsibility of student-athletes to track their weekly study hall hours and meet all requirements set forth by their coaches.

Location

Student-athlete study hall is held in the Miller Academic Success Center on the third floor of the Ritchie Center.

Check-In/Check-Out Procedures

During check-in, each student-athlete is required to present relevant study materials and state an objective to be pursued for the duration of the study hall session.
