Whereas, The University of Alabama in Huntsville currently has no unified program, or administrative structure, for academic developmental studies (e.g. tutoring, remedial courses, and study skills); and

Whereas, the University’s developmental courses and other academic support services need to be coordinated and made part of a cohesive program; and

Whereas, a more structured method is needed for facilitating efforts to aid students who have academic deficiencies, or require other academic support; and;

Whereas, it is in the best interest of faculty and administration to promote academic success and retention of students.

The coordinating administrative authority for academic developmental studies (e.g. tutoring, remedial courses and study skills) should be in the Office of the Provost, with regular consultation with the Office of Vice-President for Student Affairs. Academic supervision should be handled by the respective academic departments.
