Definition

Study hours are the required hours that a freshman student-athlete or a student athlete that does not meet the minimum GPA requirement needs to spend in the library or Walter study room. In order to receive credit for these hours, the student-athlete must “swipe in and out” with an attendant in the library or at Walter. Freshmen, regardless of GPA, are required to do 6 hours per week during fall quarter. If their GPA meets the requirement, in winter quarter their requirement falls to 3 hours per week, and in spring quarter the requirement is taken away. If the minimum hours are not achieved, then disciplinary action may be taken on the student-athlete by the academic athletic advisor, and the coach of the student-athlete may be notified. CLTs and tutoring may count towards the total per week.

Example Sentence

How many study hours do you have left? I got all mine done in the beginning of the week because I needed to study for a midterm.

Why It's Wild
