Unrivaled Student-Athlete Services
Sam Houston State University student-athlete services staff members' ultimate goal is to help each student-athlete succeed in the classroom, in his or her sport and in life at SHSU and beyond.

- Academic counseling providing one-on-one assistance year-long
- Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), comprised of members from all sports teams working closely with athletic administrators on issues while also coordinating community support projects
- The NCAA Student Affairs program providing a mandatory class for incoming freshmen student-athletes to enhance their opportunities for success at Sam Houston State University
- The SAM Center providing academic advising, study skills sessions, graduate school seminars and additional academic support
