The purpose of the Athletic Academic Advising Program at the University of Utah is to assist the student-athletes in making the most of their educational experience with the ultimate goal of obtaining an undergraduate degree. Advising procedures and activities are designed to recognize the unique needs and abilities of individual student-athletes and enable them to become independent learners who take responsibility for their academic program and classroom performance.
