Gamecocks Post 94 on 2015 SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll

Jan. 27, 2016

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – South Carolina leads the way on the 2015 Southeastern Conference Fall Academic Honor Roll for the 10th-straight fall, as part of the 1,002 students named to the listing by commissioner Greg Sankey on Wednesday.

Women’s soccer was one of five South Carolina teams well represented on the list of honorees, as 23 Gamecocks from the program earned the distinction.

The 2015 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2015 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.

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 NCAA Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria will 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. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport’s entire NCAA Championship segment.

South Carolina topped the league with 94 students, with Arkansas ranking second with 90 and Missouri third with 85. The full list of Gamecocks on the honor roll follows:
