Qavia Lopez Named to First-Year SEC Honor Roll

Birmingham, Ala.– Florida’s Qavia Lopez closed out the 2023-24 academic year being recognized by the SEC for her efforts in the classroom. Lopez was named to the conference-wide First-Year Academic Honor Roll Wednesday afternoon by SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey. She will join 121 other first-year student-athletes from the University of Florida and add it to her list of accolades during her freshman year as a Gator.
 
The First-Year SEC Academic Honor Roll is based on grades from the 2023-24 academic calendar. Any student-athlete who participates in a Southeastern Conference championship sport or a student-athlete who participates in a sport listed on his/her institution’s NCAA Sports Sponsorship Form is eligible for nomination to the Academic Honor Roll. The following criteria will be followed:

1. A student-athlete must have a grade point average of 3.00 or above for either the preceding academic year (two semesters or three quarters) or have a cumulative grade point average of 3.00 or above at the nominating institution.
2. If a student-athlete attends summer school, his/her grade point average during the summer academic term must be included in the calculation used to determine eligibility for the Academic Honor Roll.
3. Student-athletes eligible for the Honor Roll include those receiving an athletics scholarship, recipients of an athletics award (i.e., letter winner), and non-scholarship student-athletes who have been on a varsity team for two seasons.
4. Prior to being nominated, a student-athlete must have successfully completed 24 semester or 36 quarter hours of non-remedial academic credit toward a baccalaureate degree at the nominating institution.
5. The student-athlete must have been a member of a varsity team for the sport’s entire NCAA Championship segment.
