The Athletic Department at Purdue is very proud of the academic performance of our student-athletes. Student-athletes have the opportunity to enroll in one of approximately 200 academic programs in any of Purdue’s 12 academic schools. Our goal in academic support services is to provide the resources for each student-athlete to reach his or her academic potential and to ultimately earn their degree from Purdue University.

We are extremely proud that our young men and women have maintained a cumulative grade-point average that has been at or above the cumulative grade point for all undergraduate students at Purdue each semester since the fall of 1997. Given the academic challenges of an institution like Purdue and the unique challenges of being an athlete at the Division I level, this is truly an accomplishment.

The facilities in the Jane P. Beering Academic Learning Center and the staff in academic support services are available to help each of our student-athletes reach their academic goals. The Jane P. Beering Academic Learning Center is located on the second floor of the Intercollegiate Athletic Facility and offers several different academic support services for our student-athletes.

Our main study table area is located in IAF room 201 and can seat 72 student-athletes. This room is monitored from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday and from noon to 10:30 p.m. on Sunday and provides a comfortable and quiet area to study.

We have several rooms for individual tutoring sessions in the IAF. Our student-athletes have the option to request tutors for any of their courses while here at Purdue. The facilities in the IAF provide a quiet and convenient location for those one-on-one sessions.

We also have a 24-station computer lab in the IAF that is operated by the Purdue University Computing Center. Since PUCC operates this lab there is a computer lab assistant in the room in case assistance is needed and PUCC maintains up to date software on all machines. The lab has 22 IBM machines and 2 Macintosh machines, all of which have Internet connections as well as being connected to the University mainframe.

Room 209B in the IAF is a room that is available for tutoring sessions (one-on-one or small group) during the day, but is reserved for our math walk-in tutor from 7:30 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. Sunday through Thursday evenings.

Our Library/Career Resource Center is located in room 224. We house recreational reading materials as well as career resources and information from each of the 12 academic schools at Purdue.
