Student-athletes are nominated by their respective sports information directors and then voted on by a panel composed of faculty athletics representatives from each university and SIDs.
To be considered for the academic all-league golf team, a student-athlete must have at least a 3.3 cumulative career grade-point average, completed at least one full academic year at the current institution and participated in 50 percent of their team's competitions.
