The University of North Carolina Academic Support Program assists student-athletes in exploring their interests and abilities, enjoying a broad educational experience, and reaching or exceeding their academic goals. Located primarily in the Pope Academic Support Center, the program opened its doors in 1986. It is equipped with study facilities, tutorial rooms, a computer lab, a 128-seat auditorium and counselors' offices. At the center, students meet with staff to discuss course selection, major exploration, academic progress and academic eligibility. During the 2006-07 academic year, 279 Carolina student-athletes made the ACC Academic Honor Roll, which requires a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0 for the year. In the fall of 2006, 178 student-athletes made the Dean's List, and 151 did so in the spring of 2007. "Our young people are students first and athletes second and that will always be the case at the University," says Athletic Director Dick Baddour. "That is a credit to our coaches, administrators and support staff, but most of all, our student-athletes. Their accomplishments in the classroom are very impressive." The Academic Support Program serves approximately 800 student-athletes. The Academic Support Center is open from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. during the week and from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Sundays. Visitors are welcome to tour the facility during afternoon hours.
