Academics and Student-Athletes
The Athletics Department at Harford Community College prides itself on the academics of its student-athletes. The department has a part-time Academic Services Coordinator, who is responsible for working with coaches and athletes in order to maintain good academic standing.
The staff designee distributes weekly attendance reports to the coaching staff, who in turn distribute the forms to their athletes. The athletes are responsible for having their professors sign the form at every class meeting, and the Academic Services Coordinator uses the sheets to track an athlete's attendance in each course.
Monthly electronic progress reports are also distributed to all faculty members, ensuring that the administration, coaching staff, and student-athletes are aware of their academic progress. This also helps to catch those student-athletes who may be struggling in their courses and enables the Academic Services Coordinator to create an academic success plan.
Individualized tutoring is available for all student-athletes and can be arranged by contacting the Academic Services Coordinator.
Any students who are enrolled in transitional courses are required to complete mandatory minutes in the Academic Skills Center each week.
Greg Witkop, Academic Service Coordinator is available Monday-Friday from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. and can be contacted by phone at 443-412-2624 or via e-mail at gwitkop@harford.edu.
