The Nancy and Donald Resnick Academic Support Center for Student Athletes (RASC) and its staff of advisors, learning specialists, tutors, and academic coaches are in place to help ensure the academic success of Temple's student-athletes. The staff seeks to encourage and motivate each and every student-athlete to reach their academic potential, while meeting NCAA eligibility benchmarks and progressing towards graduation. Each intercollegiate sport at Temple University is assigned an academic advisor within the RASC, who provides day-to-day academic support for members of that team. Advisors within the RASC work very closely with not only student-athletes, but also coaches and athletic administrators to ensure that each individual team member is fulfilling their obligation as a student-athlete.
