The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill will release a trove of documents from the school's academic scandal investigation.

WFMY pointed out one email in which a teaching assistant informed the former associate director of the academic support program all the football players in a certain class passed the course, though not all of them did so on their own.

"I want to let you know that I passed all your football players. Most of them actually passed on their own. (Name withheld) and (name withheld) were the only two that had averages below 60 percent but I gave them both a D," read the email.

UNC will make the documents available on its Carolina Commitment webpage. Some of the documents praised UNC's academic staff for their work helping student-athletes with their studies.

"Beth and her staff did an outstanding, herculean job working so professionally, diligently, and thoughtfully with these students. I dropped into study hall a couple of nights to conference with the students, and I really liked what I saw," read another email.

UNC released the findings from Kenneth Wainstein's investigation, which turned up evidence the school's African and African-American Studies department housed no-show classes that student-athletes would take to stay academically eligible. These courses lasted about two decades and entailed certain academic advisors steering student-athletes toward these classes.

The NCAA issued a Notice of Allegations in June for the findings, but have yet to deliver sanctions against the school's athletic department. The same month, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools' Commission on Colleges placed UNC on probation for one year.

"The University places a high priority on transparency and this is part of a long series of records releases that began on Oct. 21, 2015," UNC's media relations department said in a statement. "We expect the releases to span over the next five to seven months. It is important to note that we have implemented more than 70 reforms and initiatives since 2011 - when the irregularities ended - to provide greater administrative oversight and additional support for students. The University continues to monitor the effectiveness of those reforms and, wherever needed, put additional safeguards in place. Please monitor the Carolina Commitment website to track our progress with these initiatives, which we've put in place to promote academic integrity."
