Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes
September 6, 2017 | Academics
The Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes (ASPSA) reports directly to the Office of the Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost and is uniquely positioned to collaborate with faculty, the Department of Athletics and the campus community to support student-athletes as they excel in the classroom and compete in athletics. The ASPSA helps student-athletes explore their academic interests and abilities and provides numerous academic services including tutoring, secondary academic and career advising, University and NCAA eligibility, and coordination of academic honors and awards.
The Academic Support Program for Student-Athletes is housed in the Loudermilk Center for Excellence, a 150,000-square-foot building that serves all of Carolina's nearly 800 student-athletes across 28 varsity sports. The Loudermilk Center's largest feature is the John W. Pope Student-Athlete Academic Support Center. This 29,000-square-foot facility provides classrooms for teaching and tutoring, study lounges, office space and a computer lab.
