Commitment to Academic Excellence

Academic Support Facilities

The facilities in the Jane P. Beering Academic Learning Center and the staff in academic support services are available to help each of our student-athletes reach his or her academic goals. The Jane P. Beering Academic Learning Center is located on the second floor of the Intercollegiate Athletic Facility and offers several different academic support services for our student-athletes.

Jane P. Beering is the former first lady of Purdue University. Her commitment to the academic success of our student athletes is the reason our student-athlete academic learning center bears her name.

Study Table — Our main study table area is located in IAF room 220 and can seat 35 student-athletes. This room is monitored from 8 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday, from 8 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Friday and from noon to 10:30 p.m. on Sunday. It provides a comfortable and quiet area to study.

Tutor Rooms — We have several rooms for individual tutoring sessions in the IAF. Our student-athletes have the option to request tutors for any of their courses while here at Purdue. The facilities in the IAF provide a quiet and convenient location for those one-on-one sessions.

Computer Lab — We also have a 74-station computer lab in the IAF that is operated by the office of Information Technology at Purdue (ITaP). Since ITaP operates this lab there is a computer lab assistant in the room in case assistance is needed and ITaP maintains up-to-date software on all machines. The lab has 74 IBM computers, all of which have Internet connections and are connected to the University mainframe.
