What does "non-academic" mean?

Applying to College

<p>This is probably a very simple concept, but:</p>

<p>What does “non-academic” mean? As in, a non-academic activity or project or accomplishment. </p>

<p>Or actually–what does “academic” mean?</p>

<p>My guess is that academic means directly associated with class (though not necessarily with school), and that non-academic means everything else.</p>

<p>My take would be that activities such as Debate, Math Team, Science Olympiad, etc, would be considered “academic.” Athletics, Relay for Life, and other such things would be “non-academic.”</p>
