Tiered Study Hall Program

Each student-athlete at the University of Colorado has an individualized academic plan.  The plan considers the student-athletes year in school, college and high school academic records.  This program combines study hall hour requirements with specific academic objectives.  Academic objectives are assigned to a student-athlete by their Academic Coordinator or their Mentor Tutor.  Subject Tutors assist student-athletes to meet those academic objectives by helping the student-athlete in an ethical, appropriate manner.  (See role of tutor section of this manual).

  • Tier 1 students have either struggled academically in the past or are new freshman.  These students have a more structured daily and weekly study schedule that divides their time into blocks.  The block schedule is created by Academic Coordinator for that team and helps the student identify productive blocks of time to do their work around their class, training and competition schedules.  Academic Coordinators will often schedule tutor sessions on behalf of their Tier 1 students and will assign them required weekly study hall hours.
  • Tier 2 students are making the transition to solid time management and study skill behaviors.  These students will schedule their own tutoring appointments with subject tutors directly via e-mail.
  • Tier 3 students have earned at least a 3.0 cumulative GPA and therefore make their own subject tutor appointments and do not have study hall obligations.

Study Hall Rules

Study Hall hours can be earned any time during our normal hours (listed below) but must be completed in the Dal Ward Center.  Specific rules apply and should be adhered to at all times during Study Hall.

The rules are as follows:

  • During study hall, student-athletes will not be permitted to lounge in the hallway area. All studying must be done in the Computer Lab or in the adjoining Study Hall Room.  Library research and other outside activities must take place outside of study hall hours.
  • Student-athletes must check in and out of Study Hall by swiping their Buff One Card.
  • Cell phone usage is prohibited in the Study Hall and Computer Lab.
  • Student-athletes are expected to bring enough academic work for the entire time they are checked in for study hall.
  • Absolutely No drinks, food or tobacco use is permitted in any location of the Herbst Academic Center, with the exception of drink in the Study Hall.
  • A study hall absence is considered any of the following:
    • Failure to attend Study Hall.
    • Leaving the designated areas at any time without checking out.
    • Disruptive or disrespectful behavior.
  • If a student wishes to leave the Study Hall area for any reason, they must check out and then check back in when they return.  If they fail to do this, they will not be given credit for study time.
