CoSIDA Members:
The nomination forms for the Capital One Academic All-America® at-large team programs are now open.
The
nomination deadline is Tuesday, May 13, at 6 p.m. Eastern time, but please don't wait until the last minute!
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.
To nominate student-athlete(s) for the Capital One Academic All-America® program, visit the page HERE.
At that page, log in with your CoSIDA user name and password. If you do not have your user name and profile, click the link next to "Forget your login information?" and your user information will be sent to the e-mail address that appears in the CoSIDA directory.
You will be asked to select your school's division, and the online system will automatically determine the correct Academic All-America district.
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 has a minimum of 150 characters and a maximum of 500 characters. This data can be copied and pasted from other applications.
NOTE: Do NOT enter a PO Box as a university address. The CoSIDA awards system cannot ship to PO Boxes and your nomination will not go through with a PO box number.
CoSIDA members have the option to save a nomination and submit it at a later time. Please note that there are "Save" and "Submit" buttons at the bottom of the nomination form. Nomination forms which have been saved still must be submitted before the nomination deadline!
When you are ready to submit 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.
Again, the deadline for nominating track and field and cross country student-athletes is Tuesday, May 13 at 6 p.m. Eastern.
CAPITAL ONE ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA® AT-LARGE TEAM NOMINATION REMINDERS
• The nominee must be a starter or important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials.
• Nominees must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30 (on a 4.0 scale) in BOTH undergrad and graduate work. This MAY NOT be rounded up to 3.30 - thus, a student-athlete with a 3.299 GPA is not eligible. Nominees in graduate school must have a cumulative GPA of 3.30 or better both as an undergrad AND in graduate school. For example, a student-athlete with GPAs of 3.0 in undergraduate work and 3.9 in graduate school would not be eligible, even if the average of the two combined was above 3.30.
• Nominees must have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at your institution (true freshmen, red-shirt freshmen and ineligible athletic transfers are not eligible) and must have completed at least one calendar year at your institution.
• Nominees must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team’s competitions (in the position listed on the nomination form, IF the positions are listed).
