SEC Winter Academic Honor Roll Announced

COLUMBIA, S.C. – The SEC’s Winter Academic Honor Roll was announced on Friday by commissioner Greg Sankey. South Carolina’s 90 student-athletes ranks second in the conference and is a new department record, surpassing the previous high of 88 on the 2020 winter honor roll.
 
In total, 800 SEC student-athletes made the list. The Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll includes the sports of basketball, equestrian, gymnastics and swimming & diving. It is based on grades from the 2021 Spring, Summer and Fall terms.
 
South Carolina’s student-athletes reached a departmental grade point average above 3.0 for the 30th-straight semester, concluded the Fall 2021 term with a mark of 3.245 and 16 of 18 teams earning a GPA of 3.0 or better. Women’s soccer (3.733) earned the highest team GPA in the fall semester and their fourth-highest team GPA on record. The department named 67 student-athletes to the President’s List for earning a 4.0, 166 student-athletes to the Dean’s List (3.5) and 396 to the Athletic Director’s Honor Roll (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.
