The Academic Progress Rate - commonly referred to as APR - is a metric created by the NCAA to quantify how much progress member institutions make in moving student-athletes towards graduation. NCAA APR is designed to provide a real-time measure of eligibility, retention and graduation of all Division I student-athletes.

Director of Athletics, Bryan Hicks said, "This is a good start of teamwork among student-athletes, coaches, academic support staff and athletic administrators. We are very proud of this combined effort of excellence in academics, and we look forward to continued improvement in the future."
