The APR offers a real-time assessment of a team’s academic performance each semester by monitoring the academic progress of scholarship student-athletes. It considers eligibility, retention, and graduation to gauge each team’s academic success.
As an annual scorecard of academic achievement for all Division I sports teams, the APR measures eligibility, graduation, and retention each semester or academic term to provide a comprehensive view of each team’s academic performance.
