WALTHAM, Mass. – The University Athletic Association named its Fall 2020 Academic All-UAA team, and Brandeis University student-athletes earned 44 accolades.
Within the UAA, All-Academic recognition is awarded to student-athletes who have completed at least one full year of college study and who carry a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.300. The 3.300 minimum cumulative grade point average is the same academic standard used as a qualifying threshold by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) for the nomination of Academic All-America® candidates in all sports.
Due to COVID-19, there was no UAA competition in the fall, nor did any UAA institutions compete in non-Association play.
