The CSC Academic All-District and All-American awards are designed to showcase outstanding student-athletes with a 3.50 cumulative grade-point average who have reached sophomore status academically and have played in at least 90-percent, or started in 66-percent of their team's competitions as a key performer during the current season.

CSC Academic All-American honors are voted on by CSC members from around the nation. To be eligible for the honor, student-athletes must first be selected as CSC Academic All-District performers, after being nominated by their institution's Sports Information Department.
