REMINDER: Proper Naming
Academic All-America® should only be used in reference to student-athletes who make one of the national teams. Refrain from using any variations from these standards when publicizing these awards. It is also appropriate to use Academic All-American in your announcements.

The following are examples of proper naming conventions:
  • Academic All-District®
  • First Team Academic All-America®
  • Second Team Academic All-America®
  • Third Team Academic All-America®
  • Academic All-America® of the Year (winners in each sport and division)
  • Academic All-America® Team Member of the Year (1 overall winner in each NCAA and NAIA division across all sports)


Replacements or Replica Awards

Errors or Breakage: If your award arrives with an error in the information printed or is broken, please contact Barb Kowal (barb@cscommunicators.com). Depending on the issue, costs for reproducing the award will be the responsibility of the vendor, CSC or the institution.

Shipping Errors: If you received an award meant for a student-athlete at another institution, please make arrangements with that institution to ship it to their nominating professional. Submit costs for the shipping to Barb Kowal (barb@cscommunicators.com) for reimbursement. Scans of receipts are acceptable.
