The United States Academic Decathlon (USAD) has set forth specific eligibility requirements for all students participating in the Academic Decathlon throughout the United States. This includes not only the GPA-level designation of participating students on every team but also acceptable/unacceptable courses that can contribute to the student’s competitive level (Honor, Scholastic, and Varsity).
The Nebraska Academic Decathlon follows these regulations set forth by the governing organization. All coaches are required to fill out the Nebraska Academic Decathlon eligibility worksheet (Excel spreadsheet) based on the Accepted/Unaccepted course guide (PDF) for all participating students.
