ABOUT ACADEMIC PROGRESS RATES (APR)
The NCAA released data through 2020-21 as the 17th set of APR results, a formula introduced as part of the Division I Academic Performance Program. The NCAA released sport-specific data for 2020-21 to each institution, as well as the most recent four years of collected data used to determine a rolling four-year (multi-year) APR score for all athletic teams to provide a meaningful assessment of a team's academic performance.
The NCAA's APR is designed to track the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship at a particular institution. It accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation each term to provide a clear measure of each team's academic performance.
The APR is based on four years of data, with the most current year's data added and the oldest year removed, to create a four-year (multi-year) rolling rate. Penalties can be applied if an athletic team's multi-year APR score is below 930.
