Once Again SC Student-Athletes Top All on SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll

Feb. 11, 2014

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – For the eighth-consecutive fall, South Carolina’s student-athletes topped everyone on the Southeastern Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll.

A total of 66 Gamecock student-athletes earned the listing, based on grades from the 2013 spring, summer and fall terms, besting Kentucky’s 59, Georgia’s 58 and Vanderbilt’s 54. Overall, the league honored 655 student-athletes on the listing.

Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student-athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution’s NCAAÃ¢â‚¬Ë†Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria should be followed: (1) A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution. (2) If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll. (3) Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution.
