Student-Athlete Academic Services
Academics and athletics go hand-in-hand for student-athletes at UH and each one must learn to balance the various demands in their everyday college life.
The Student-Athlete Academic Services (SAAS) office took charge of the academic services for the Athletics Department in 2000 under the guidance of Dr. Ron Cambra. The SAAS advising team oversees the tutoring, advising and scheduling aspects of each student-athlete. They assure each student-athlete sets goals of getting a degree and prepares for a career after graduation.
Special programs and services, designed to meet the individual needs of each of the approximately 500 athletes who participate in any of UH’s 19 intercollegiate sports, are provided at SAAS. These comprehensive academic and support programs include academic advising; retention programs; personal, career, and performance-enhancement counseling; and a CHAMPS Life Skills Program.
