About Us
Current/Prospective Students-Athletes
Student-Athlete Services is the office that will provide academic support and development to you throughout your career as a student athlete at Georgia Southern University. We offer a wide range of services that are focused on helping you as the student-athlete be successful in the classroom and help prepare for life after college. We work with coaches, campus faculty and staff, as well as the athletics department to provide you with the tools you need to be successful in your career after you leave Georgia Southern University.

Academic Recognition
Students that achieve success in the class room will be recognized in a variety of ways:
