Gamecocks Post Record Number to SEC Fall Academic Honor Roll

COLUMBIA, S.C. – The 2018 Fall SEC Academic Honor Roll was announced on Thursday by commissioner Greg Sankey. South Carolina had 100 student-athletes across five sports make the list, setting a department record that had stood since 2015.
 
A total of 1,017 SEC student-athletes earned a spot, with those students competing in the sports of cross country, football, men’s and women’s soccer and volleyball. South Carolina leads the SEC in total honorees, marking the 11th time in the last 13 years that the Gamecocks paced the conference. The list is based on grades from the 2018 spring, summer and fall terms.
 
The Gamecock Athletics Department concluded the fall 2018 semester with a combined GPA of 3.335, its highest in history and the 24th-consecutive semester above 3.0.
 
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.
