The Academic Scene How to win in the classroom Tips for Academic Success: Student-Athletes should carefully plan their college work and master specific skills for success. The Academic Enhancement Program provides many beneficial services for Student-Athletes such as workshops in relation to study skills, time management, test taking, memory skills, etc. The program also provides tutoring and study halls to accomplish these skills. Time Management - Know your academic schedule and your collegiate sport(s) practice and competition schedule. Sit and make a graphic picture of the times you are responsible to these activities, one which will address all of your needs and stick to it faithfully. Don t forget study time, study hall hours, or any other time that is important to your daily schedule. Remember, time management is useless if you do not apply discipline to it. Taking Good Notes - Effective studying begins with taking good notes. Learn to listen attentively to the lectures and pick out the most important points of the lecture. If an instructor indicates an important point in a graphic way, write that too. Write legibly so that afterward you can read what you wrote without difficulty. Review your notes everyday for at least 20 minutes so that when test time comes there is no need to cram. Effective Studying - DO NOT CRAM, it is guaranteed that you will not remember everything. If a test is coming up, begin studying for it at least 3 days prior and take in the information in steps. Organize your notes from the order it was given from the instructor. Always find a place to study that is conducive for your own study habits. Office Hours - Student-Athletes especially need to frequent the instructor s offices due to the fact that you are often away for competition. Also, it builds a relationship between instructor and student which will prove to be beneficial throughout the semester. Study Hall - The Athletic department encourages first year Student-Athletes to frequent the study hall as often as possible. The individual team coaches have the discretion to assign mandatory study hall. Test/Exam Taking- Keep all test dates in mind, write them down if necessary. Remember to start studying a few days before hand and don t rely on cramming. Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) A Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) is a committee made up of Student-Athletes assembled to provide insight on the student-athlete experience. The SAAC also offers input on the rules, regulations and policies that affect Student-Athletes lives on NCAA member institution campuses. The information that follows will assist you in understanding how SAAC works to shape the intercollegiate athletics policy and enhance the Student-Athlete experience. SAAC at a glance: Generate a Student-Athlete voice within the NCAA structure. Solicit Student-Athlete response to proposed NCAA legislation. Recommend potential NCAA legislation. Review, react and comment to the governance structure on legislation, activities and subjects of interest. Actively participate in the administrative process of athletics programs and the NCAA. Promote a positive Student-Athlete image. 3

4 CHAMPS LIFE SKILLS PROGRAM The Texas Southern Athletic Department is a member of the NCAA s Champs Life Skills Program. (CHAMPS is an acronym for Challenging Athletes Minds for Personal Success.) The primary goal is to enhance the lives of the Student-Athletes using five major components. A Commitment to Athletic Excellence ensures that each Student-Athlete will be provided facilities, coaching, staff and support services that will enable them to excel in the sports sponsored by Texas Southern University. The fundamentals of the program are based on a commitment to sportsmanship, equity, fair play, and integrity. A Commitment to Academic Excellence ensures that each Student-Athlete will have the opportunity to excel in his /her chosen field of study and that athletic programs will provide service to support and enhance the academic success of the Student-Athlete. A Commitment to Personal Development ensures that each Student-Athlete will be provided with opportunities to focus on personal growth issues such as value clarification, goal setting, and fiscal responsibilities. Each component will be focused toward developing a healthy lifestyle. A Commitment to Career Development places a priority on preparing for life after intercollegiate sports. Texas Southern University offers a variety of programs that acquaint Student-Athletes with the job search process, networking opportunities, and other things that ultimately assist with job placement. Student-athletes can participate in resume and interviewing workshops as well as job fairs, career counseling and other Career Development opportunities. A Commitment to Service is a challenge to our Student-Athletes to give back to the Houston community. Our Student-Athletes will be given opportunities to develop the foundation for a long commitment of volunteerism. STUDENT-ATHLETE ACADEMIC SUPPORT Athletic Academic Enhancement Center The Athletic Academic Enhancement Center employs dedicated staff and campus stakeholders who work in a collaborative effort to assist Student-Athletes with day-to-day activities. It is the mission of the staff to take a holistic approach in providing the assistance needed to help all Student-Athletes realize their personal, academic, and athletic potential. The staff works closely with coaches, faculty and University Administration to share resources and promote, as the primary goal, the development of each Student-Athlete at Texas Southern University. The purpose of AAEC is to empower Student-Athletes to become more effective learners and leaders to assist them to become positive contributors in society after graduation. Athletics Enhancement Coordinator Athletics Enhancement Coordinator is primarily responsible for providing Student-Athletes with information and advice. The enhancement coordinator also monitors academic performance. The Enhancement Coordinator requests information about grades, class attendance and overall effort from each professor that instructs courses in which each Student-Athlete is enrolled. They use this information to assess a Student-Athlete s current academic standing. They also help Student-Athletes understand University, Southwestern Athletic Conference and NCAA policies and procedures regarding continuing eligibility. Students may find an enhancement coordinator especially helpful during registration periods. Before meeting with the faculty or advisor, it is helpful if students and their enhancement coordinator to discuss the tentative schedule with consideration given to academic standing, degree requirements and athletics schedule. They can also provide students with informed advice about selecting a major, adding and withdrawing from a course. Student-Athletes need to meet with their enhancement coordinator before making changes in their course of study or class schedule to ensure that all changes are in compliance with the rules of the Texas Southern University and the NCAA. Academic Enrichment Hours During enrichment hours, all Student-Athletes can benefit from a quiet study atmosphere, tutorial assistance and the use of computer labs. Each Student-Athlete will work with an Academic Enhancement Coordinator under the approval of the Head Coach to determine the number of academic enrichment hours that will be required per week and schedule them accordingly. First year Student-Athletes and those Student-Athletes below a 2.5 GPA will be asked to do at least 6 hours per week of enrichment hours through a combination of objective based study hall, tutoring and meeting with their academic enhancement coordinator. Class Registration Student-Athletes must be advised by their major academic advisor prior to being cleared to register for the upcoming semester. The My TSU Web site is the student s link to all things TSU. The website allows students to manage their academic careers from one central location. The site features, course registration, financial aid and housing information. In order to register for classes each student must have access to their respective My TSU Web accounts.

Dropping a Class As a Student-Athlete, you are required to maintain full-time enrollment (12 hours) at the University during any period of competition as well as meet all NCAA academic performance requirements. Therefore, prior to dropping a class, your Academic Enhancement Coordinator must grant permission to withdraw you from a course. Please notify your Academic Enhancement Coordinator as soon as you feel a change in your schedule is needed. Change of Major To initiate a change of college/school or major, Student-Athletes who are in good academic standing (2.0 GPA or higher) must: Meet with an Academic Enhancement Coordinator to discuss how major changes can impact NCAA eligibility and progression requirements Meet with a campus academic advisor Request approval of both the Dean of the College/School in which they are seeking release and enrollment Transfer Student-Athletes A maximum of 66 credit hours from a junior or community college completed may be transferred and applied toward the bachelor s degree. The courses represented must be similar in character and content to courses offered at Texas Southern University. Generally, courses will transfer if they are on the same level and have the same number of hours, e.g., levels: 100- freshman, 200-sophomore, 300-junior, and 400-senior. If a student s transcript shows more than 66 hours, the advisor for the student s major department will determine which hours will be applied toward the degree. For students from four-year colleges or universities, regardless of the number of allowable credit, the last 30 (thirty) hours of course work must be taken in residence at Texas Southern University. TSU does not accept the following course credits: Courses from vocational or occupational training Remedial/developmental/study skill courses Courses marked in progress College/University courses omitted from the transcript originally submitted Courses from Colleges/Universities which do not have accreditation or candidacy status in a regional accrediting association of the Association of Colleges and Schools Post-baccalaureate courses (except for the College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences) Houston Community College To transfer Core Courses, the university will follow the rules established by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (www.thecb.state.tx.us). The major and the minor sequences require the grade of C or better. Subject to the approval of the individual department, up to 6 hours of credit for grades of C- may be transferred. However, these credits may not be applied to the major or minor sequence, each of which requires grades of C or better. As a part of the application process, the prospective transfer student must submit official transcript(s) from each college and/or university previously attended. It is preferred that the transcript be sent directly from the issuing institution; however, the documents may be hand-delivered in an envelope secured with the official seal of the issuing institution. The transcript evaluation will be done after the applicant has been accepted to the University. Please allow seven to ten working days for processing during non-peak times. Continuing Eligibility **All students must pass 6 hours of degree applicable credit every semester** **All students must pass 18 hours of degree applicable credit every year (Fall/Spring)** **Once a student is subjected to GPA requirements, the requirements must be met each semester** Semester Progress Towards Degree Requirement GPA Required After the 2nd semester 18 Hours After the 1st year 24 Hours 1.8 Before the 5th Semester 40% of Degree 1.9 Before the 7th Semester 60% of Degree 2.0 Before the 9th Semester 80% of Degree 2.0 5

UNIVERSITY Good Academic Standing/Satisfactory Academic Progress Policy effective spring 2010 The minimum grade point average required by the University for awarding the baccalaureate degree is 2.00 for all credit work taken by the student as part of an approved program of study. The GPA is computed by dividing the total number of hours attempted by the total number of quality points earned (See Grading System, University Catalog), except for credit hours in courses for which the student received a W or I. Also, a repeated course is counted as attempted one time only (the last grade earned will be used to calculate the GPA). Any enrolled student who meets the minimum academic requirements is in good academic standing at the University. Probationary or Notice status will be incurred by the student who fails to meet the standards listed below in any semester. 1-14 hours attempted Not less than a 1.4 cumulative GPA 15-29 hours attempted Not less than a 1.6 cumulative GPA 30-59 hours attempted Not less than a 1.8 cumulative GPA 60 or more hours attempted Not less than a 2.0 cumulative GPA and satisfactory completion of all developmental or remedial courses Academic Notice: Students falling below the set standards of 1-14 hours 1.4 cumulative GPA; 15-29 hours 1.6 cumulative GPA; 30-59 hours 1.8 cumulative GPA; and 60 or more hours 2.0 cumulative GPA, are placed on Academic Notice. Students on Academic Notice are not on Academic Probation and cannot be suspended. Students on Academic Notice must get advisement in the Office of Student Success Services or their major department before they will be allowed to enroll. Academic Probation: Students who are currently on Academic Notice and who fail to maintain the minimum cumulative GPA requirements (as per the chart above) are placed on Academic Probation. In short, if a student falls below the set standards, the student is placed first on Academic Notice. If in the following semester, the student again falls below the set standards, the student will be placed on Academic Probation. Undergraduate students may be removed from Academic Probation at the close of the semester in which they earn a cumulative GPA that meets the standards outlined above. They may register for not more than 15 semester credit hours. Freshmen and sophomore students on Academic Probation must be advised in the Office of Student Success Services or their major department before they will be allowed to enroll. Juniors and seniors must seek advisement in their respective departments and undergo individual monitoring before they will be allowed to enroll. Suspension: Students on Academic Probation earning a GPA below the standards outlined above are suspended for one academic semester. Undergraduate students failing to maintain the required GPA in any semester while on Academic Probation will be suspended. The first academic suspension is for a period of at least one semester. (fall or spring or summer) Students placed on academic suspension at the end of a fall semester are not eligible to re-enroll until the following summer. Students placed on academic suspension at the end of a spring semester are not eligible to re-enroll until the following fall. Students placed on academic suspension at the end of a summer session are not eligible to re-enroll until the following spring. Students who have been placed on academic suspension twice may apply for re-admission to the University after one year, provided they can show evidence of increased academic maturity. Such evidence may be grades for courses taken at another institution of higher learning, if such courses are not repeats of courses previously taken at TSU. Military service and associated courses/training may also be used as evidence of maturity. Academic Suspension and Appeal: Faculty and staff are committed to helping students achieve their academic goals. Nevertheless, some students fail to maintain an adequate grade point average and are academically suspended. Students who believe that extenuating circumstances contributed to their suspension may appeal their case to the University s Committee on Suspension and Readmission. To appeal, students must explain those circumstances in a letter submitted to the committee immediately after receiving notification of suspension. (See also Grade Appeal, Retention Standards, and Academic Probation in the Undergraduate Catalog.) 6

Readmission from Academic Suspension: Only the dean of the college may readmit students on academic suspension from Texas Southern University. Readmission from academic suspension is neither automatic nor guaranteed. Students seeking readmission must submit the following to the dean of the college in which they wish to earn their degrees: A written petition justifying their readiness to resume their studies at the University. Transcripts showing at least a 2.00 grade point average on all college work completed elsewhere while on academic suspension from Texas Southern University. Transcripts of all other completed college work. Students seeking to change their majors from the college from which they were suspended to another college must submit a change of major request along with a petition for readmission from academic suspension to the college of the intended major. Colleges may have additional policies and procedures pertaining to readmission from academic suspension; therefore, students seeking readmission should consult the appropriate college section in this catalog or request information from the office of the academic dean for specific college requirements. When re-admitted, the student will enter the University with probationary status. Another suspension at the end of the semester of re-admission may be avoided by achieving the minimum cumulative average according to the above standards. Moreover, a student on Academic Probation will not be suspended at the end of any semester during which a semester average of 2.00 has been earned. Any student enrolled in nine or more credit hours and who earns an F in all classes will be suspended from the University for the following semester, unless there is a successful appeal. NOTE: Each college or school may adopt its own set of Academic Progression Standards to address the particular academic needs of its students. These standards, however, may be higher than the standards of the University, as set out above, but they may not be lower. UNIVERSITY ACADEMIC REGULATIONS Load Limit The normal load is 15 to 18 semester credit hours. A regular student may not carry more than 18 hours of course work in any long term or semester without the approval of his or her dean and the head of the department in which the student is a major. The maximum load for any student in a regular semester is 21 hours. Students who are working may be required by the dean to reduce their load. A student enrolled in a 6-week summer term may not normally carry more than 7 hours. Under special conditions a student may, with permission of his or her dean, carry 8 hours in one 6-week term provided he or she carries no more than 6 hours during the other term of that summer. Under no circumstances may a student earn more than 14 semester hours from any source in the two terms of one summer. Class Attendance Regulations Students should attend class regularly. Students are responsible for all coursework, including taking exams as scheduled and completing all assignments. Instructors are not obligated to give any make-up work. An instructor may, prior to the term purge date, administratively drop a student from the class and any student with over 10 percent of unexcused absences of the instruction hours can be dropped for the term. Instructors may define attendance rules for individual classes; in general, class attendance shall not count for more than 10 percent of the grade. Change of Major A student in an undergraduate department of the University who can satisfy admission requirements of another undergraduate department within the same college or school may transfer to it with the approval of the chairs concerned. Changes in Class Schedule (Adds, Drops, and Withdrawals) Changes in class schedules may be made by a student when approved by his faculty advisor and by the department in which the course is offered. A service fee is charged for each change in program. Course changes must be made in person under the following conditions: a. Adding courses. In adding courses, the student must obtain the approval of his or her faculty advisor and the department in which the course is offered. 7

b. Dropping courses. A student may, for a good cause, drop a course with the approval of his or her faculty advisor and the department in which the course is offered under the following provisions: During the first 12 days of any semester or the first 4 days of a summer term, a student may drop a course without having a grade recorded for the course. After the twelfth or fourth class day, a student may drop a course without penalty prior to the published deadline. A grade of W will be recorded. State legislation enforces a limit of six (6) recorded drops, excluding withdrawals, over the Texas college career of a student who enrolls in a Texas public institution of higher education as a first-time freshman beginning fall 2007 or later. Documentation of good cause must accompany any request for exception. After the published deadline, a student will be permitted to drop a course only upon approval of the student s dean and only for urgent and substantiated, nonacademic reasons acceptable to the Dean. Withdrawal To insure his or her possible future standing with the University, a student has the right to withdraw officially. A student wishing to withdraw from the University for the remainder of a session should apply to the dean of his or her school or college for permission. Having secured the dean s permission, the student may receive honorable dismissal through the Registrar s Office after he or she has returned all library books, surrendered his or her activity books, and cleared himself or herself with all offices at the University. A student failing to do these things will not be eligible for restitution of any fees. The term honorable dismissal will not be given unless the student s standing as to conduct and character is such as to entitle him or her to continuance in the University. The grade to be recommended for the student will be in keeping with the regulation for dropping courses. Reinstatement Students who are administratively withdrawn from their classes due to nonpayment may petition for reinstatement if and only if extraordinary circumstances prevail. Students may obtain the prescribed petition in the Office of Enrollment Services and must return the petition with evidence of suitable payment options. Enrollment Services reviews all such petitions on a case-by-case basis. All approved petitions are subject to a late payment fee and a reinstatement fee. Course Numbering Lower division undergraduate courses are numbered from 100 to 299 while upper division undergraduate courses are numbered 300 to 499. Upper division courses that may be taken by graduate students for graduate credit upon prior approval of the student s advisor and Dean of the Graduate School are listed in the Graduate Bulletin. Courses numbered 500 and above, except in Pharmacy, carry graduate credit and are open only to graduate students. Grading Scale Beginning the Fall of 1991, the following grades and quality points were and are now used: Grade Meaning Grade or Quality Points Per Credit Hour A Excellent 4.00 A- Intermediate Grade 3.67 B+ Intermediate Grade 3.33 B Good 3.00 B- Intermediate Grade 2.67 C+ Intermediate Grade 2.33 C Satisfactory 2.00 C- Intermediate Grade 1.67 D+ Intermediate Grade 1.33 D Marginal 1.00 D- Intermediate Grade 0.67 F Failure 0 I Incomplete 0 P Passing 0 R In Progress 0 S Satisfactory 0 U Unsatisfactory 0 W Withdrawal 0 WT Withdrawal, Test 0 The grade R, meaning In Progress, is given only when the work in a course extends beyond the semester or term. It implies satisfactory performance. The grade R will not alter the quality point average of the student since hours attempted, hours earned, and quality points earned will not be entered in cumulative totals. 8

The grade of I is given only when a student s work is satisfactory in quality, but due to reasons beyond his or her control, the work has not been completed. The missing work may be a major quiz, a final examination, a term paper, or other work. It is not given in lieu of an F. The instructor will stipulate, in writing, at the time the grade is given the conditions under which the I may be removed. This temporary grade of I is non-punitive and semester hours for the course are not considered in the computation of the quality-point average. Removal must be within one calendar year after the I is assigned, or the I grade shall become an F. The grade I is not assigned if the student must retake the course. In the event a student who earns a grade of I decides to retake the course, the student is required to pay for that course a second time. The grade of W is given for a course officially dropped by the student after the twelfth class day of a regular semester or the fourth class day of a summer term and before mid-semester or midterm. In cases where students repeat courses, the last grade earned must be used in the determination of the student s official grade point average at all stages and in the determination of eligibility for graduation. The terms of grade point average (GPA) and quality point average are used interchangeably. In all cases, these averages are calculated by dividing the total quality points earned (see chart above) by the total semester credit hours attempted. Grade Notification Final grades are electronically disclosed to students at the end of each term, no later than fourteen (14) days after all final examinations have been completed. Scholastic Dishonesty Students must maintain a high standard of honesty in their academic work. They should avoid all forms of academic dishonesty, especially the following: a. Plagiarism. The appropriation of passages, either word for word (or in substance) from the writing of another and the incorporation of these as one s own written work offered for credit. b. Collusion. Working with another person in the preparation of notes, themes, reports, or other written work offered for credit unless such collaboration is specially approved in advance by the instructor. c. Cheating on an Examination or Quiz. Giving or receiving, offering or soliciting information, or using prepared material in an examination or testing situation. On examinations and quizzes students are expected (a) to remain in the examination room until the examination is finished, (b) to refrain from talking, and (c) to refrain from bringing notes and books into the examination room. d. Impersonation. Allowing another person to attend classes, take examinations or to do graded assignments for an enrolled student under his or her name is strictly forbidden. A violator of any of the above offenses will incur severe disciplinary action ranging from suspension to expulsion from the University. Specific guidelines will be administered by each dean. Academic Grievances Purpose: The following procedures are designed to provide a means for undergraduate students to petition for review of final course grades alleged to be incorrect. Before filing a formal appeal, students are urged to resolve grievances informally with the instructor of the course. Students filing a written appeal shall be expected to abide by the final decision of the committee, as provided for in these procedures. This decision precludes any further review under any other procedure within the University. Conditions: A student may seek a review of a final grade if he or she feels that one of the following conditions applies: A. the assignment of a grade was on some basis other than performance in the course, or B. the standards applied to a grade were not the same as those applied to other students in the course, or C. the assigned grade represents a substantial and unannounced departure from the instructor s previously stated standards. 9

Procedures: A student who feels that his or her grade is incorrect should a. Confer promptly with the instructor of the course. If the instructor is unavailable and cannot be reached by the student after a reasonable effort, then he or she shall consult with the chair of the department offering the course. If the student and instructor or department chair are unable to arrive at a mutually agreeable solution, the student may file an appeal within twenty (20) days after the first day of class of the next semester (not including summers) with a standing committee of three (3) tenured faculty members of the department offering the course. If the instructor of the course is a member of the committee, he or she shall be replaced by a tenured faculty member selected by the chair of the department. b. File an appeal by submitting to the departmental committee a detailed statement regarding the alleged improper grade, as well as any relevant evidence. The appeal shall be dismissed if: 1. The student has submitted the same or substantially the same complaint to any other grade review procedure, 2. The appeal is not timely, or 3. The student has not conferred with the instructor or department chair before filing the appeal. c. Allow the departmental committee to take action. If the appeal is not dismissed, the committee shall submit a copy of the student s written appeal to the instructor with a request for a prompt written reply. d. Work toward a mutually agreeable solution in concert with the committee and the instructor. If a mutually agreeable solution is not achieved, the committee shall advise both the student and the instructor that the matter has been sent to the dean of the academic unit offering the course. The dean of the academic unit shall convene a committee of three (3) tenured faculty members from departments outside of the department offering the course. This committee shall hold an informal, non-adversarial fact-finding meeting concerning the dispute. Both the student and the instructor shall be entitled to be present throughout this meeting and to present any evidence deemed relevant, except the student shall not be present during the discussion of any other student. Neither the student nor the instructor shall be accompanied by counsel, an advocate, or representative. The meeting shall be closed to the public. After the fact-finding meeting, if the majority of the committee finds that the evidence supports the student s complaint, the committee shall take any action thought to rectify the situation, including, but not limited to 1. Directing the instructor to re-grade the student s work, 2. Directing the instructor to administer a new final examination or paper in the course, 3. Directing the cancellation of the student s registration in the course, or 4. If no reasonable alternative is available, directing the instructor to award a grade of pass in the course. The committee is not authorized to award a letter grade, or to reprimand, or otherwise take disciplinary action against the instructor. The decision of the committee is final and shall be promptly reported in writing to the parties involved. The dean of the academic unit has the responsibility for implementing the decision of the committee. WITHDRAWAL and RETURN OF TITLE IV AID Unexpected events may cause students to withdraw prior to the end of the semester. Federal regulations require that a Return of Title IV Aid calculation be performed on any student receiving federal aid during the semester. Federal aid includes the Federal Pell Grant, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant, Academic Competitiveness Grant, National SMART Grant, Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Stafford Loan, and Federal PLUS Loan.How does this relate to my tuition refund? The calculation of Title IV funds earned by the student has no relationship to the student s incurred institutional charges. The institutional refund policy is located in the university catalog and on the web www.em.tsu.edu under Refund Policy and Schedule. Federal Student aid may not cover all unpaid institutional charges due to the institution upon the student s withdrawal. The Financial Services Office will perform a Return of Title IV funds for each student that withdraws for the semester and notify the student of any repayment of funds as a result of the calculation. How do I earn aid in the Return to Title IV Calculation? According to federal guidelines, the student earns financial aid based on the length of time the student remains enrolled in the term. If the student withdraws a Title IV refund calculation will be process based on the last day of attendance and all federal aid will be calculated according to the federal regulation. If the student withdraws from school prior to completing 60% of the term, he or she may be required to repay all or part of financial aid received for that term. 10

If the student initiates the withdrawal process after the completing over 60% of the enrollment term, he or she will have earned 100% of the federal financial aid for that term and no repayment is required. If the student unofficially withdraws or does not earn a passing grade in any class, federal regulations require a Return of Title IV aid calculation is performed for the student. The calculation will be based on the 50% point in the semester unless the student can document an official last day of attendance. Repayment of Unearned Aid The portion of the term that the student does not attend represents the portion of aid that is determined to be unearned. Earned federal financial aid is prorated according to the percentage of the semester completed. The amount of the unearned federal aid is the total amount of federal aid less the portion of earned federal aid. Unearned federal aid, other than federal work study, must be returned to the federal government. The responsibility to repay unearned aid is shared by TSU and the student. TSU s share is the lesser of the total amount of unearned aid or the institutional charges multiplied by the percentage of aid that was earned. The student s share is the difference between the total unearned amount and the institution s share. Earned financial aid is prorated according to the percentage of the semester completed. The return of funds is allocated among the Title IV programs, in an order specified by federal statute. TSU is required to return all unearned federal aid attributed to school charges. This means that a portion of your tuition and fees is no longer covered by financial aid and you are liable for paying the balance of your school charges. All unearned federal aid attributed to school charges is subject to immediate repayment by you unless you are eligible for a tuition and fee refund. Attendance Policy It is the expectation of Texas Southern University s Athletics Department that Student-Athletes (including extended aid and medically exempted Student-Athletes) attend classes, arrive to class on time, complete all assignments in a timely manner and demonstrate behavior in the classroom that is conducive to learning and appropriate for an academic environment. Student-Athletes are expected to attend all laboratory sessions for all courses in which they are enrolled, unless such absence is otherwise excused in advance. Student-Athletes are responsible for obtaining professor class attendance policy at the beginning of the semester, informing their professors of scheduled class absences due to competition and making arrangements to complete all missed academic work. Further, Student-Athletes must attend all Academic Enhancement scheduled tutor sessions, study hall sessions and academic meetings required by the Athletic Department. The expectation is for all Student-Athletes to attend class; class checks are focused on Student-Athletes that are identified by the Academic Enhancement Staff. Student- athletes with a 2.5 cum GPA or less will also be monitored. Those Student-Athletes who fail to attend class or required academic sessions or meetings scheduled by the Athletics Department are subject to the sanctions set forth in this Attendance Policy, including being withheld from practice and/ or competition. This policy also includes Student-Athletes that are in the extended aid program or that are medically exempted and receiving athletics aid. Point System Each semester Student-Athletes will be assessed points for each individual class or required academic session or meeting. Points accumulate throughout the semester; however, Student-Athletes start each semester with zero points. Points will be assessed as follows: Fall and Spring Semesters 2 points: Each unexcused absence from each class 1 point: Each missed tutor session 1 point: Each missed study hall session 1 point: Each missed academic meeting Summer School Terms 3 points: Each unexcused absence from each class 1 point: Each missed tutor session 1 point: Each missed study hall session 1 point: Each missed academic meeting 11

Notification of Student-Athlete The Academic Enhancement Staff will attempt to notify the Student-Athlete electronically via University e-mail when there are class attendance issues.

Missed Class for Team Travel On occasions when your team s travel conflicts with class attendance, your Athletics Academic Advisor will provide a travel letter to confirm the schedule. NOTE: This travel letter is not a class excuse and some professors limit absences regardless of the reason for missing class. You must arrange, in advance, for any missed assignments, tests, quizzes, notes or other forms of participation prior to the scheduled travel. AAEC methods of class attendance and academic progress: The Staff will do the following each term: Conduct Class Checks Regularly correspond with professors via email Distribute and collect completed Student-Athlete Progress Reports Make telephone contacts with professors Hold personal visits with professors and dean s office professional advisors Practice Schedules Student-Athletes are expected to attend all scheduled courses. Student-Athletes should NOT miss class due to practice, sports medicine treatment or weight lifting. During each semester the Student-Athlete should meet with their respective Athletic Academic Enhancement Coordinator to determine a desired time for upcoming practice schedules. It is the priority of the AAEC to ensure student-athletes follow their respective curriculum and take all courses that will continue to advance the Student-Athlete In the event a course is needed during the Competition Schedule Student-Athlete class attendance is extremely important and vital to the careers of all Student-Athletes. When scheduling competitions Head Coaches or their designee is asked to consider the following: 1.) Mid-term and Final Exam Periods 2.) Major University Events 3.) Geographical Location 4.) Potential Missed Class Time Student-Athlete Tutorial Services The primary goal of the tutorial program is to enhance student study skills, and assist in specific content areas. Academic enrichment hours are scheduled blocks of time that Student-Athletes use for tutorial services, computer labs, or independent study. Critical to the students success is that they master time management and effective study skills. It is also important for students and tutors to display a high level of academic integrity. Tutors are expected to instruct student-athletes in these areas and to report progress to the Academic Advisors accordingly. Tutoring sessions are held throughout the day and evening, Sunday through Thursday. Friday and Saturday tutorial assistance is available on an individually scheduled basis. The Student-Athlete s advisor monitors the attendance of academic enrichment. Student-Athletes are expected to be on time for each tutoring session. In keeping with the University policy, tutors will wait 15 minutes for the student. After that, the student will be charged with a No Show. In addition, a No Show will be reported if: The Student-Athlete fails to notify the tutor and advisor by 5pm the night before that he or she will not be attending the tutoring session. The Student-Athlete fails to attend a normally scheduled tutoring session. Student-Athletes are held accountable for No Shows, and are disciplined by their coaches. Student-Athletes can request a tutor by visiting the Academic Enhancement Lab and submitting the Tutor Request Form. Student-Athletes are responsible for bringing all necessary materials and textbooks with them to their tutoring sessions. They are expected to be prepared for their sessions by having worked through the material and completed any reading assignments before meeting their tutor. A Student-Athlete should not, at any given time, construe a tutoring session as a substitute for class attendance or as the only time spent on studying outside of the classroom. A TUTORING SESSION SHOULD NOT, AT ANY GIVEN TIME, OCCUR AT A TUTOR S HOME/ROOM OR AT A STUDENT-ATHLETE S HOME/ROOM! 13
