Official Interpretation -- Financial Aid -- Exempting Renewals of Academic Honor Awards from Equivalency Calculations

Official Interpretation

Exempting Renewals of Academic Honor Awards from Equivalency Calculations

Date Published: March 23, 2010

Interpretation:
The academic and membership affairs staff determined that if a student-athlete receives an academic honor award during his or her initial year of enrollment, but does not qualify for exemption of the award from his or her team's equivalency computation, and receives a renewal of the academic award in a subsequent year, the renewal may be exempted from the team's equivalency computation, provided the student-athlete achieves a cumulative grade-point average of at least 3.000 (based on a maximum of 4.000) at the certifying institution and meets all NCAA, conference and institutional progress-toward-degree requirements.
