What is the APR?

The Academic Progress Rate (APR) is a multiyear measurement of academic progress and an institution’s retention of student-athletes. The APR is designed to track student-athletes who receive athletics financial aid. The report is based on two factors: eligibility/progress toward graduation and retention.

What does the APR score mean?

The total number of points a team can earn is 1000, which would mean that every student-athlete remained eligible and returned the following semester (or graduated). The NCAA determined an APR score of 925 is equivalent to an approximate graduation rate of 60 percent. So a score of 950 would be around 65 percent graduation rate.
