Please don't penalize a deserving student-athlete from your school who is not able to be placed into Academic All-America® consideration due to your lack of meeting appropriate deadlines and nomination criteria.
Two important things to keep in mind in regards to nominations:
1.
Late nominations will not be accepted. There will be NO expections. Nominations are shut off at 6 pm ET on the final nomination day, so make sure to plan to get your nominations in on time.
2.
You must be a CoSIDA member in order to access the online nominating system. If you haven't already renewed your dues for 2009-10, please take the time to do that now, in advance of the Academic All-America deadlines.
Dues can be paid online at
http://www.cosida.com/register.aspx. There also is information at that page of how to pay your dues via mail (look for the "Prefer to Sign Up/Renew via Mail?" banner and the PDF form to pay dues directly to CoSIDA treasurer Dave Wohlhueter; his address is listed in the middle of that PDF).
If you are not sure if your dues are paid, check the CoSIDA directory at
www.cosida.com/directory.aspx. Enter your name; if there is a CoSIDA logo next to your name, you are all set. If the logo is missing, your dues need to be taken care of ASAP.
If you are having any technical difficulties with your Academic All-America® nominations, or if you don’t receive a confirmation email after submitting your nominations, please fill out the technical service report on the nomination page.
