Nomination instructions
To review the nomination criteria, click here. Follow these steps to begin your nomination:
- Go to awards.collegesportscommunicators.com
- Click the blue Member Login button and log in with your CSC email and password. You are brought to your Dashboard/My Programs page.
- You may save your nomination as a "DRAFT or "Submit As FINAL" at any time. It is imperative to "Submit as FINAL" prior to the nomination deadline. Once you submit, you can go back in and make changes/edit up to the deadline!
Please save your work periodically. The system will time out your session after fifteen (15) minutes of inactivity.
You will receive a confirmation email once you submit a nomination. Please check your spam filters if you do not receive it shortly after submitting each nomination.
Important notes and warnings for members related to nominations
For soccer, the system will limit your nominations to 12 total for men and women, but will not block you from nominating more than six for a particular gender. If you attempt to nominate more than six men or six women, the committee will accept your nominations in the order received. Any nominations submitted beyond the limit will be thrown out. If, for example, you submit seven men and your star player was the seventh nomination, then your star player will be the one thrown out. Take special care to adhere to the limits. Changes will not be allowed after the nomination deadline.
Please make sure that you carefully proof the academic and athletic eligibility information and statistics prior to hitting SAVE on your nomination screen so your candidate will not be marked "ineligible." Double check the student-athlete's name and gender are correct.
Advancing to the national ballot
Advancing a student-athlete to the national ballot includes two steps.
When nominating you will have the option to end your nomination for All-District, or complete additional supporting information to advance your student-athlete for "Academic All-America consideration."
It is the responsibility of a sub-group of the Academic All-America Core Program Committee to examine each and every candidate put forth for Academic All-America consideration, and those with the highest academic/athletic credentials advance. Not all candidates submitted for consideration will advance.
