The Academic All-MAC teams are based off semester grade-point averages (GPA) for the semester of their championship season. Fall sports student-athletes will be recognized on the Fall Academic All-MAC teams released in January. Winter and spring sports student-athletes will be recognized in the Winter and Spring Academic All-MAC teams released in June. The minimum GPA required is a 3.20, and the student-athlete must remain an eligible member of the team through the conclusion of the season. Voting for this award will be based on 50% academic excellence and 50% athletic prowess by the conference sports information directors. Beginning the 2015-16 season the Academic All-Middle Atlantic Conference (Academic All-MAC) teams will allow first-year student-athletes to be eligible for the award.
Prior to 2015-16, only student-athletes with a sophomore academic status or higher with a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or higher prior to the semester of announcement were recognized. * The 2020 Spring & 2020 Fall awards were not given due to cancelation of seasons due to COVID-19
