Contact the Student Awards Office for additional questions about the process or eligibility requirements.

Grades from courses completed in the Spring and Summer Intersession are not used by the Student Awards Office in calculating the GPA requirements for receiving an Athletic Award, nor can they be used to reduce course load requirements.
