Course
Description
This
non-credit course has been developed for use by academic advisors,
athletic counselors and other campus staff (both inside and
outside athletics) responsible for student-athlete academic
support and for eligibility certification.
The
goal of the course is to provide an avenue for staff members
who work campus-wide to receive training on the NCAA Division
I and Division II rules and regulations, as well as to gain
information on basic principles for advising students, with
an emphasis on advising student-athletes and improving academic
success.
Course
Format
By
offering this information in an online format, participants
are provided a learning opportunity that can be accessed either
in their own home or office, and at a time of day that works
best for their schedules. They
will not be required to be online at any particular time and
can work at their own pace. The class content will move forward
each week allowing the participant the entire week to work
through the weeks content. The participants can complete the
content all in one day or do a little each day as their schedule
allows.
The
course is eight weeks in length and will take place June 1
through July 27, 2009.
This
course is structured in a manner that allows the participants
to develop a national network through interaction with other
members of their cohort through virtual chat rooms and discussion
boards.
