Academic All-America® At Large Program

At-Large Program Details

NCAA and NAIA Divisions
In the At-Large program, nominations are limited to SIX NOMINEES PER GENDER PER SCHOOL, for a maximum total of SIX men's at-large candidates and a maximum SIX women's at-large candidates per school. If an institution has multi-divisional status and participates in more than one division, that institution still may nominate only a total of SIX men and SIX women total.

For instance, if a school plays Division I women's ice hockey and participates in Division III in all other women's sports, the total number of women's at-large nominees they have remains at SIX, regardless of which division its teams participate in.
