SAAS Tutor Information

Tutor Information
It is our goal to provide Kent State student-athletes resources to thrive academically. The tutorial program is integral to the success of KSU student-athletes who are undergoing a very demanding schedule. All KSU Athletics tutors are highly trained in NCAA, campus and department tutoring guidelines and their work with student-athletes keeps academic integrity at the forefront.

Tutors are available to all student-athletes in the Jenkins Center, free of charge and available to assist student-athletes in a wide variety of subjects.

All tutorial appointments are all conducted within the Jenkins Center or virtually. Student-athletes who utilize tutoring are expected to attend all scheduled appointments on time and prepared.
