GENERAL INFORMATION
In each program, the CoSIDA membership votes at the District Level and first-team All-District selections advance to the national ballot. Only members of the Academic All-America Committee and the CoSIDA Board of Directors vote at the national level to determine the Academic All-America teams. Athletes who are selected to the District teams should be referred to as Academic All-District, not District Academic All-America. Academic All-America should only be used in reference to athletes who make one of the CoSIDA national teams. The number of All-District teams selected in each program is determined by the number of nominations received. Only first-team All-District selections receive certificates and advance to the national ballot.
