Utes Forever

The University of Utah Former Student-Athletes

Education Assistance Program

The University of Utah Athletics Department has implemented a new program called Utes Forever. The mission of the Utes Forever Program is to maximize resources to help former student-athletes who have not graduated to receive their degree. Other aspects of the program include leadership and personal development skills and involvement in alumni activities to establish life long relationships with other Letterwinners and the University.

There are a few components to the Utes Forever Program:

Utes Forever Academic Assistance

The Utes Forever Academic Assistance area assists former student-athletes with admission, registration, transcripts, degree-check, tutoring and course evaluation in respect to the individual's graduation status. Former student-athletes who are unable to attend the U of U and enroll at another local college or university may also request assistance with academic transcripts, course evaluation, etc.

Utes Forever Career and Personal Development Assistance

This area assists former student-athletes in developing the skills necessary to be successful in the classroom. The program focuses on three main areas:

Enhancement: To expand the range of available coping skills to insure that former student-athletes are better prepared for returning to school.

Support: Provide social and emotional support during the academic, employment and transitional periods.

Counseling: Provide counseling for former student-athletes who may be having difficulty with the transition from playing their sport.

 

This program serves as an excellent way for the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics to better serve former student-athletes and helps them obtain their degrees.
