To vote for the All-District At-Large teams
Click on this link to go to a screen listing the district ballots that are available for you to vote upon. Select the radio button for the ballot you wish to vote upon and click on “Proceed to Ballot.” You can print a copy of the ballot to peruse by clicking the link and printing the page that pops up. To reduce the chance of a time out error, first print copies of all the ballots, then log out (or close your browser window) and read through the printed copies, then log back in to vote.
To vote, click the radio buttons for the student-athletes for whom you wish to vote, then click “submit ballot.” If there are more ballots for you to vote upon, the system will prompt you to vote on those.
To nominate track and field/cross country candidates
All nominations for the Capital One Academic All-America® program must be done online through the CoSIDA Web site. Nominations will be accepted only from current CoSIDA members, and members may nominate student-athletes only from their own institution.
The online system automatically pulls in your institution, district (I-VIII) and division (University or College) from the CoSIDA database. Members nominating from multi-divisional institutions (those whose teams are Division I in some sports and not others) must manually override the division selection when applicable. (e.g., Scenic College’s teams primarily compete in Division III, save for two teams that compete in Division I. The online system will pull in College Division for all of Scenic College’s nominations, but the Scenic College SID must manually change the division to University Division for nominations from the sports which compete in Division I).
Completing most of the rest of the nomination form is a matter of choosing the sport and position and filling in the blanks. There is a data field for additional supporting nomination which is limited to 500 characters. This data can be copied and pasted from other applications.
Do NOT enter a PO Box as a university address. The CoSIDA awards system cannot ship to PO Boxes.
Please proof your nomination(s) carefully. Once you hit the “Submit” button, you CANNOT go back and edit a nomination. If it is necessary to make a change to a submitted nomination, contact your district coordinator.
The Academic All-America Committee/district coordinator lists can be found here:

When finished with the nomination form, hit "submit" and the system will e-mail a receipt for the nomination. Make sure to save this confirmation e-mail, as it contains a unique ID number which will assist in troubleshooting if necessary.
Repeat as necessary.
Thank you for your participation in the Capital One Academic All-America® programs.
