Hello all.

We are in the process of developing a new policy to address student-athlete disputes.  This is largely in response to excessive parental involvement due to lack of clear procedures in the current grievance policy.

Does anyone have a dispute resolution policy they would be willing to share with me?  I’d be happy to compile the results and send to those interested….

Thanks in advance!

Thanks Danny, this information is very helpful.

Thanks for the info. What score do you consider passing? Do you have anyone who specifically tutors for the Accuplacer?

Montclair State Unv., NJ uses the Accuplacer for both reading and math placement.

Hello, James.

At Washington State University, we use an objective-based study system without attendance hours. The student picks when she studies, but we usually require 10 hours per week of all freshmen and new transfers and returners who we identify as high-risk or institutionally at-risk.

As with anything, the system we use cannot be 100% uniform. Some teams make their own rules about GPA requirements, and some require more than 10 hours per week. For our servicing criteria, a GPA >2.5 usually means we no longer track study hours.

The goal of our program is to reinforce or teach good study habits (small blocks of time throughout the day every day). We are fortunate to have solid support from our coaches and administration in our efforts, and we typically get very positive results.

I wish you luck as you design/redesign your programming.
