A total of 1,915 student-athletes from the 11 member institutions earned the distinction. The academic honor roll originated in 1988-89, when SoCon athletic directors established the award as a way to recognize the league's outstanding student-athletes. The academic honor roll consists of student-athletes who participated in varsity sports at member institutions and posted a 3.0 grade point average or higher while passing at least 24 hours in two semesters of classes or its equivalent for other academic calendars.
 
Of the nearly 2,000 student-athletes on the list, 873 earned the Commissioner's Medal, awarded annually to student-athletes who attain a GPA of 3.5 or higher throughout the year. Of those, 81 had perfect 4.0 GPAs, with Chattanooga boasting a SoCon-high 17 with perfect marks for the year.
 
Wofford had 11 student-athletes with a 4.0 grade point average – Sarah Evans (Women's Tennis), Vicki Hill (Women's Soccer), Paul Inclan (Football), Phifer Nicholson (Football), Julia Paulson (Women's Tennis), Matthew Ramsay (Baseball), Jonathan Rice (Men's Cross Country/Track and Field), Chase West (Men's Soccer), Justin Whitaker (Men's Cross Country/Track and Field), Alissa Williams (Women's Cross Country/Track and Field), and Jake Wright (Men's Soccer).


Elon had a league-best 230 student-athletes on the honor roll, while Appalachian State and Davidson were close behind with 227 each. Wofford (207) also eclipsed 200 selections. Each of the SoCon's 11 league schools had at least 111 student-athletes on the list.
 
The honor roll includes all 19 SoCon-sponsored sports as well as the non-sponsored sports of field hockey, lacrosse, swimming and diving, equestrian, rifle and sailing. League schools who sponsor swimming are members of the Coastal Collegiate Swimming Association.
