The document discusses study resources available to student athletes at the University of Denver, including two study rooms in the Ritchie Center that provide computers, supervision, and tutoring assistance. Freshmen basketball players are required to attend 3 hours of study hall per week after practice, while upperclassmen attend voluntarily. Some students complete homework at the Pub after dinner or catch up on missed classwork like reading and projects when they have free time after practice and labs.

1. Being a member of the University of Denver Basketball team means putting
an emphasis on academic work.

2. Keeping
up with
school
work is
never easy
because of
travel and
practice.
But luckily
there are
special
programs
available
to student-
athletes.

3. This is one of the study rooms on the 3rd floor of the Ritchie Center that are
available to student athletes. There is always someone supervising to make
sure everyone is staying on top of their homework.

4. There are five
Apple
computers
located in this
particular study
room, all
available to
student athletes
who are in
study hall. Every
athlete who
studies in this
room has to
swipe in with
their student I.D
card in order to
log their hours.

5. Freshmen basketball players have to attend study hall for 3 hours a week,
regardless of their GPA. After practice is when they typically complete their
hours.

6. There are
academic
advisors
and tutors
that
athletes
can
request for
whenever
they need
assistance.

7. This is a second study room for student athletes. This one is used more for
studying for exams. There are a few couches, and less people to distract you
from working.

8. Sophomore Center Jake Logan is not required to attend study hall, but he
does so anyway just to stay on top of his work. “If I went home to do my
homework, I would just fall asleep and watch television”, says Logan.

9. After practice, most of the basketball team heads to the Pub to grab some
dinner. This is a prime opportunity for them to complete their homework, or
study together for tests.

10. Sophomore Guard Brett Olson is finishing up an Accounting project at the Pub, which
is due later during the week. With dim lights and noise from the television in the
background, this is not the ideal place to complete school work.

11. Junior Forward Chris Udofia is finishing up his homework after a late lab. He
does not have the luxury of eating with his teammates after practice, instead,
he has more classes to attend.

12. Senior Guard Chase Hallam reads for his Accounting class after practice. Since
he misses a lot of class because of travel, he tries to catch up on days where
he has more free time.
