All nominations for the 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. Student-athletes may be nominated at only one position.
To nominate student-athlete(s) for the Academic All-America® program, visit the Academic All-America® Web site at

When you get to the
Welcome to the CoSIDA Award Nominating/Voting System menu, click on
Nominate a Student Athlete. You may be asked to update information for the CoSIDA database.
When doing so, do NOT enter a PO Box as a university address. The CoSIDA awards system cannot ship to PO Boxes.
You will be asked to select one of two buttons (the left is for nominating in NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, or NCAA Division III, and the right is for NAIA, CIS, 2-year, and Other affiliations. Then, select the sport (men's or women's basketball) for your nomination and the division in which your institution competes for this sport. The online system will automatically determine the correct Academic All-America® district.
The women's volleyball teams are not selected by position, so select
All Positions in the Position field, and please remember to include the nominee's position in the field for academic and athletic accomplishments.
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; you must stay within these thresholds when filling in bio data. This data can be copied and pasted from other applications.
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.
The nomination deadline is Tuesday, Oct. 18, at 9 p.m. Eastern time, but don't wait until the last minute!
REMINDERS:
The nominee must be a starter or important reserve with legitimate athletic credentials.
Nominees must have participated in at least 50 percent of the team's games in the position listed on the nomination form.
Student-athletes may be nominated at only one position. In the case of a student-athlete who plays more than one position (e.g., pitcher and infielder) and meets the minimum participation standards at both positions, the nominating SID must select one position. Nominating one student-athlete multiple times at different positions is not permitted.
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. Graduate students who are competing at a different institution than the one from which they earned their undergraduate degree are eligible even if they are in their first semester at the graduate institution.
