Athletic Advising
What is an Athletic Advisor?
Athletic advisors work with all student-athletes to help them succeed, on and off the field. By providing personalized advising, success planning, and connections to campus resources; our advising team is dedicated to empowering student-athletes at Grand Valley State University. Whether you're just getting started at GVSU or preparing for life after college, the LASC is here to guide your growth, celebrate your progress, and support your journey.
Schedule an appointment online or drop-by our office! You can find us in the basement of the Fieldhouse B061.
All first-year student-athletes are required to meet with an athletic advisor.
Athletic advisors manage study tables Wednesday and Sunday nights from 6 -9 PM. Required hours vary with each team.
