The Hartnell College Athletic Counseling Program provides comprehensive services to ensure a successful student-athlete experience – academically, personally, vocationally, and athletically.
At Hartnell College, athletes are students. The athletes are expected to follow and maintain the academic requirements of Hartnell College. The Athletic Counseling Program stresses the importance for student-athletes to take ownership of their athletic and academic pursuits. There are many resources made available to them, but it is always their responsibility to meet the academic and athletic challenges that face them.
Hartnell College understands these students are also athletes. In addition to the demands of being a student, our student-athletes must also deal with the additional demands associated with competing athletically.
