Student Development for Athletes (SDA)


The mission of Student Development for Athletes (SDA) is to provide a comprehensive support program for all student-athletes at Montclair State University that promotes academic success, a positive athletic experience and overall personal growth. The SDA program is made up of two components, Academic Services and the CHAMPS Life/Skills program.

The staff at SDA is committed to working closely with coaches, faculty/staff and student services on campus to help student-athletes balance the demands of their academic responsibilities and athletic endeavors. In doing this, we hope to encourage a progressive and resourceful environment to learn.


ACADEMIC SERVICES

SDA assists student-athletes with planning out their schedules and career in academics over the next several years. Information is given to students about appropriate college advising centers and assistance. Registration guidance, advisement and major/minor information is also provided for all student-athletes. The student-athletes at MSU receive personal attention from the Academic Advisors for Athletics in order to provide the student-athletes the opportunity to "help athletes help themselves" by linking the athletic and the academic community.

CH.A.M.P.S. / LIFESKILLS PROGRAM

The mission of the NCAA is to maintain intercollegiate athletics as an integral part of the campus educational program and the student-athlete as an integral part of the student body. With this in mind, the CHAMPS/Life Skills Program was created to support the student-athlete development initiatives of NCAA member institutions and to enhance the quality of the student-athlete experience within the context of higher education.
