Oklahoma’s dedication to providing the resources necessary to help our student-athletes reach their full potential couldn’t be greater. The Prentice Gautt Academic Center is located inside Gaylord Family – Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and is open over 90 hours per week to student-athletes for academic assistance. It offers two academic counseling offices, two computer centers, learning and skill development centers for reading, study skills, math and foreign language, and a career center. For 21 consecutive semesters, our student-athletes have posted a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. 
 
Launched in the summer of 2022, OU Athletics introduces a new and innovative program, Growing Resilient Innovative Thinkers (GRIT). GRIT will allow current and future Oklahoma student-athletes to take the next step in their education and prepare for life beyond college. GRIT will provide high-dosage, explicit strategies to empower student-athletes to see education as a lifelong journey full of growth, resilience, innovation and thinking.
