The Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference Academic Honor Roll recognizes student-athletes in each conference[1]sponsored sport who academically maintain at least a 3.30 cumulative grade-point average as both an undergraduate and graduate student, have completed two consecutive semesters at their current institution, and have used a season of competition.
Each institution's athletic communications directors nominate student-athletes who academically maintain at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average as both an undergraduate and graduate student, along with the other criteria for the Academic Honor Roll, for recognition on the First Team Academic All-RMAC in each sport. The league's athletic communications directors for that sport vote to compose the First Team Academic All-RMAC and select the Academic Player of the Year. They are not permitted to vote for their own student-athletes.
