Abstract	This quantitative study investigated the perceptions of institutional academic support by Division III student athletes. Student athletes can be at a high risk for lower grade point averages (GPAs) during their college career due to conflicting time demands of athletics and academics. The NCAA regulates the access to academic support based on division. Division III student athletes must be treated as the general student population and have the same academic access. However, Division III student athletes are similarly involved in their sport as other divisions. This can create inequitable access to academic support during traditional work hours. This study addressed gaps in the literature on Division III student athletes and their academic support needs. Student athletes from a Division III Southern California institution were surveyed. Hierarchical regression investigated the perceptions of academic support by Division III student athletes related to self-reported cumulative GPAs. High profile sport athletes (football and men's basketball), males, and student athletes' that identify as underrepresented minorities were significant predicators of lower GPAs. Awareness of academic support services and time spent in academics and athletics were not predictors. The findings indicate the importance of implementing universal academic support policies specifically focusing on student athletes who play a high profile sport (football and men's basketball), male athletes, and Underrepresented Minority athletes at the NCAA across all divisions. These policies should be employed at the institutional level to provide equal access to academic support. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
