“Greetings student-athletes… You are about to embark on a journey filled with exciting times both in the classroom and within your respective sport. Your participation in varsity athletics did not come by chance. It has taken years for you to develop into the stellar athlete you are and with that same skill and determination employed on the court, track, field, arena, alley; we expect the same fire and vigor as you perform in the classroom. As you read the following pages, please take a minute to review the resources, services, rules and regulations that have been created to give you a sense of purpose. Please note that a great deal of careful consideration was put into creating this website with you in mind. We ask that you adhere to the guiding principles and the standards that govern your time as a student-athlete at Delaware State University. We want you to be mindful that the “bar” is fluid; the expectations we place on student-athletes from an academic standpoint is never set in stone. It is constantly moving higher and higher – with graduating with a baccalaureate degree as the sole focus. The following statement serves as a basis for who we are as an academic services entity and our commitment in providing first-class services.
