Go to CoSIDA.com/awards nominate/vote.
CoSIDA Members:
Nominations for the Academic All-America®
M/W Track & Field/Cross Country programs are open now at
CoSIDA.com/awards.
The nomination deadline is Tuesday, May 8 at 9 PM (Eastern).
Nominations will be accepted only from current CoSIDA members, and members may nominate student-athletes only from their own institution.
Watch this short video tutorial on how to submit nominations (Note: It's the same process as basketball nominations):
1. After logging in with your CoSIDA email address and password, you’ll be taken to the awards portal home page.
2. Click on the
Nominate Here to get to the nomination form. Your division and district will be detected based on your CoSIDA profile.
3. Select a
gender and the
sport.
4. Completing the rest of the nomination form is a matter of providing statistical and career achievement data in the boxes provided. There are five data fields for additional supporting materials that have a maximum of 100 characters each. Two of the five are required.
Do not use these fields to repeat information that appears elsewhere in the nomination (i.e., student-athlete’s name, GPA or statistics).
5. When you are ready to submit the nomination, hit
Save and Submit on the final page of the form and the system will e-mail a receipt for the nomination. Make sure to save this confirmation e-mail — check your junk folder if you don't receive it. (
Tip: CoSIDA members have the option to save a nomination and submit it at a later time. Please note that there are "Save" buttons at the bottom of each page. Nomination forms that have been saved
still must be submitted before the nomination deadline.)
Reminder: When filling in the shipping address, do NOT enter a PO box as a university address. The CoSIDA awards system cannot ship to PO boxes.
Reminder: Be sure to check your spam/junk folders for CoSIDA emails.
CRITERIA 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 contests.
• Nominees must have a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30 (on a 4.0 scale). 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.
