Hogs on SEC honor roll

FAYETTEVILLE – Twenty-six University of Arkansas student-athletes have been named to the Southeastern Conference’s 2011 Winter Academic Honor Roll, the league announced on Thursday.

The 2010-11 Winter SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2010 spring, summer and fall terms.

Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport is eligible. The team is based on the following criteria: (1) A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above. (2) If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the academic honor roll. (3) Student-athletes eligible for the honor roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner) and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons. (4) Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution. (5) The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport’s entire NCAA Championship segment.
