GSC All-Academic Teams are selected jointly by the FARs and SIDs for all sports in which the conference conducts an official championship. The minimum grade point average to qualify is a 3.20 overall as posted on the student-athlete's official transcript. Freshmen are not eligible for the All-Academic Teams, nor is any s/a who has not spent a full year in residence at the sponsoring GSC school and passed 24 semester hours or 36 quarter hours that count towards an identifiable degree program during the year at that school.
The All-GSC Academic Team nominees must be starters or significant contributors. Candidates must have lettered in the current year in order to be eligible. Although the threshold for selection is grade point average, other factors such as leadership, academic curriculum, community service, etc., may be considered when determining the All-GSC Academic Team
The GSC recognizes every student-athlete who has achieved a grade point average of 3.00 out of a possible 4.00 when it releases its annual "Academic Honor Roll". Student-athletes who only practiced, but did not compete against outside competition, are not eligible.
