Close to 200 student-athletes qualified for the National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) All-Academic list for the 2024-25 school year. The rugby players hailed from:

AIC (13), Army (4), Bowdoin (20), Brown (19), Dartmouth (6), Davenport (5), Frostburg (5), Guilford (2), Harvard (18), Lindenwood (14), Mount St. Mary’s (4), Navy (12), New England (6), New Haven (7), Queens (16), Quinnipiac (9), Princeton (13), Sacred Heart (12), Warren Wilson (4) and West Chester (12).

To qualify for all-academic honors, student-athletes had to meet standing and eligibility criteria as set out by CSC guidelines:

Academic standing
• Student-athletes must be at least a sophomore academically and athletically.
• Nominee must be enrolled at their institution at the time of nomination as either an undergraduate or graduate student. Only the school at which an athlete competed in the current academic year can nominate that player.
• Student-athletes who have graduated from their own institution during the current academic year and are not competing in athletics at another institution at the time of nomination are eligible.
• Transfer student-athletes are immediately eligible. If your transfer student-athletes (undergraduates or graduates) are in their first semester at your institution, you must use their cumulative undergraduate GPA and cumulative graduate GPA (if grad GPA is applicable) from their former institution – which meets the 3.50 cumulative GPA. This would be the GPA or GPAs they used when gaining admittance to your institution. If your transfer student-athlete has a GPA at your institution, then you take the COMBINED cumulative GPA (from all institutions) and use that in your nomination process. (You cannot just select their GPA at your institution to date.)

Academic eligibility
• An undergraduate student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale).
• A graduate student-athlete must have at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale) as both an undergraduate and a grad student unless they are in their first semester as a graduate student and don’t have an established graduate GPA.
• The cumulative grade point average may not be rounded up to 3.50.
