The AVC Student-Athlete Academic Achievement Zone is designed to assist student-athletes with reaching their educational goals while attending AVC.
This Achievement Zone will target male and female first and second-year student-athletes while attending and participating in intercollegiate athletics at Antelope Valley College. First and second-year student-athletes will be required to attend the Academic Achievement Zone for 4 hours each week, and student-athletes with a GPA of 2.5 or below will be required to attend 6 hours per week.
The Student-Athlete Academic Achievement Zone strategies include activities such as; tutoring support and individual guidance with academic work, grade checks, and workshops focusing on time management, study techniques, connecting student-athletes to campus services, helping students reduce test-taking anxiety, improving note-taking skills, and assume responsibility for academic successes and failures. Student-athletes will use the workshops and skills mentioned above to balance the challenges of academics and athletic competition.
The priority of the Antelope Valley College Student-Athlete Achievement Zone is to meet the academic and athletic needs of our student-athletes and to support their success. The goal of the AVC Student-Athlete Achievement Zone will be to provide an environment in which student-athletes can seek assistance with homework, work on computers, conduct internet research, print assignments, meet with an athletic counselor, participate in independent study, receive weekly progress checks and complete organizational tasks necessary for student success. The Zone will assist all student-athletes in completing their educational goals and complying with all AVC degree, certificate, and transfer requirements and intercollegiate eligibility requirements for NCAA, NAIA, and CCCAA organizations.
