The NCAA Committee on Sportsmanship and Ethical Conduct (CSEC) is pleased to announce the following changes to the student-athlete sportsmanship award nomination process. In an effort to simplify the process and support green initiatives, the NCAA is decreasing its use of paper and increasing the role of technology. The instructions below outline the new process; please keep them as a reference throughout the months of March and April in order to nominate your student-athletes. | |
|
March 15 – April 15 |
Institutions may access the Sportsmanship Award nomination form at www.ncaa.org/sportsmanship under the “Sportsmanship Award” tab. Each institution is permitted to nominate one male and one female. To nominate, institutions must: • Complete one .PDF form per nominee (type directly on the form and save), ensuring each nominee fulfills the criteria listed on the form. • Forward one nomination form and completed signature page per nominee via e-mail attachment to their conference office contact not later than April 15. Independent institutions should forward nomination forms and signature pages directly to the NCAA. It is strongly suggested that institutions scan the completed signature pages and forward them via e-mail attachment with the nomination forms. If institutions do not have scanning capabilities, the signature pages may be faxed. Again, only independent institutions may submit nominations directly to the NCAA. All other institutions must submit nominations through their conference office. |
