In its inaugural year, the awards program was created to increase academic recognition for high-achieving student-athletes – which was a priority for the Conference's membership highlighted in its most recent Strategic Plan. The Academic All-Conference teams have been adopted with the following requirements:
- Undergraduate and Graduate Student-Athletes must have completed four semesters academically at the nominating campus with at least a 3.50 cumulative grade point average (on a 4.0 scale).
- Student-athletes must have met a minimum of participation requirements. For team sport selections, this includes playing in 70% of a team's contests (through the conference championship date). In total, 121 student-athletes across all 17 PSAC institutions qualified for the Winter 2025-26 PSAC Academic All-Conference Teams.
