It is recommended that student athletes reduce their course load and consider completing their program in more than four years. The schedule for a student attending with a full course load provides little or no flexibility needed for athletics. There is no provision for class, lab or clinical experiences to be made up. Student athletes are advised to speak with an Academic Advisor to discuss a program of studies that will meet their athletic schedule.
