Student-Athlete Success Program
Mission Statement
The Student-Athlete Success Program (SASP) recognizes the unique needs of the student-athlete and provides an individualized, holistic approach to supporting their efforts to reach their full potential academically, personally, and athletically during their time at UConn. SASP works collaboratively with the UConn community to help our student-athletes as they transition into the university, progress through their coursework, receive their diploma, and move on to succeed in graduate school, the work force, or to compete at the next level. SASP supports the overall mission of the university, helping every student-athlete grow intellectually in their effort toward earning a degree from UConn and becoming productive members of their communities.
The primary goal of the program is to assist student-athletes in reaching their educational goals while competing in intercollegiate athletics. SASP counselors function as liaisons between the athletic and academic communities.
Our counselors work closely with coaches, faculty and a variety of campus resources in order to help facilitate students’ successful transition into college by instituting academic and social support programs, which include but are not limited to Counseling, Pre-Advising, Tutorial, Life Skills Programs and boundless opportunities for personal growth and development. SASP is now considered as one of the model programs of academic support in the country.
UConn is also proud to have high achieving students. Each year, the dedication our student-athletes translates itself in many academic accolades such as Big East Academic All Stars, Academic All-American and Honda Broderick Award. This is one of the reasons why U.S. News and World Report have recently picked UConn among the top public institutions in New England that balance athletic success with academic integrity and graduation. UConn truly has the best of both worlds.
During the past decade, there has been an upward trend of students achieving a 3.0 grade point average or higher. Our student-athletes graduate at a rate higher than the general student population and many are actively involved in a number of community service activities with surrounding elementary, middle and high schools.
The Student-Athlete Success Program at the University of Connecticut is constantly evolving, changing and expanding to meet the needs of student-athletes.
