Student-Athlete Advising Program

At SUNY Adirondack, we don’t just care about our athletes’ performances on the field and the court. We created the Student-Athlete Advising Program to help our star athletes become star students.

Through advising specifically designed to meet the demands of an athlete’s schedule, our Student-Athlete Advising program gives students the support they need to balance athletic and academic responsibilities.

The SUNY Adirondack coaches and staff are committed to developing competitive athletic teams and successful students through one-on-one mentoring.

More than 95% of the college’s student-athletes meet or exceed the standards of academic progress to remain eligible to play as a Timberwolf.
