Purpose
The purpose of the Academic Support Committee (ASC) is to review and assess the effectiveness of the academic support provided for intercollegiate student-athletes at Kennesaw State University. The Committee is also charged with recommending policies relating to academic support to the full Athletics Board, and with advocating for investment in this area.

Regular Activity
The ASC will complete case-study reviews of the academic support provided for at least two KSU teams each year, and will report its finding to the Executive Committee of the Athletics Board. Every third year, beginning in 2008-2009 it will produce a comprehensive review and assessment of the academic support provided KSU student-athletes, which will be shared with the full Athletics Board and will provide the basis for the mandatory report to the NCAA.

Frequency of Meeting
The ASC will meet at least once per semester.
