ASAA ACADEMIC AWARDS
ASAA presents an academic award to the school with the highest team GPA, based on grades for the preceding semester, in each championship event.

Minimum team members: To be considered for the Academic Award in individual sport championship events, a team must have a minimum of five (5) members.

• For Cross-country running, Nordic Skiing, Swimming, and Track & Field, keep girls and boys separate, as an award is presented for both genders. For Tennis, combine all players on one form.

• For fine arts and academic activities, boys and girls from the same school will be grouped together for the award minimum of ten (10) students.


QUALIFYING PROCESS

A. Academic Award Entry Form - A school must submit academic award information on this form.

B. Deadline - Academic Award Entry Forms must be submitted no later than 5:00 p.m. on the Tuesday prior to the start of the respective State Championship event.

C. School Transcript Analysis

• Counting Courses - Count every course that a student has listed on his/her report card except those that are on a pass/fail basis.

• Semester - In computing the team GPA, use only the GPA students earned during the semester prior to the semester in which the respective Championship Event is conducted.

• Ineligible GPAs - Cumulative, Quarter or Mid-Term GPAs should not be considered.

• Freshmen - for new 9th grade students during the first semester only, DO NOT count their GPA as one of the entries and do not include them when dividing by total number of entries. Freshmen will be included on any entries after the first semester.


COMPUTING TEAM G.P.A.

A. Student Grade Point Average
For each course listed for a team member, multiply the point value of the grade by the number of semester credits received for the course. A 4.0 GPA system must be used - A=4, B=3, C=2, D=1, F=0, incomplete is considered an F until made up. If a studentís GPA is above 4.0 due to advanced placement courses, it will be considered as 4.0, since not all schools use this grading system. Disregard pluses and minuses. Do not count courses on the report card if they are graded on a pass/fail basis.

B. Team Grade Point Average
Compute team average by adding all team member GPAs and then dividing by the number of team members. Team GPAs will be considered to the nearest thousandth of a point.

Example - Tom GPA - 2.73; Dick GPA - 3.13; Harry GPA - 3.46; Sam GPA - 3.25.
Total of individual team member GPAs = 12.57

Team GPA (12.57 ÷ 4 = 3.142)
