BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University students who compete in intercollegiate athletics continue to excel in the classroom according to the latest NCAA Academic Progress Report (APR) data released today. Thirteen of IU’s 22 programs earned perfect 1,000 APR scores for the 2020-21 academic year. The thirteen IU programs that earned a perfect APR score for the 2020-21 academic year are men’s basketball, women’s basketball, women’s cross country, men’s golf, women’s golf, men’s soccer, softball, men’s swimming, women’s swimming, men’s tennis, women’s tennis, volleyball, and wrestling. Three IU programs also earned special recognition for their perfect multi-year scores of 1,000 – men’s and women’s golf and women’s tennis. To earn a perfect multi-year score, those programs recorded perfect APR scores during each of the last four years.
As a department, IU’s combined single-year APR score was 988, and all of IU’s 22 programs easily met the required four-year average of 930 to be eligible for NCAA Championship competition during the 2022-23 season.
“It is a source of pride for our entire department whenever we see how well our students are performing in the classroom, and that is once again the case with our latest APR report,” said IU Vice President and Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Scott Dolson. “This is credit not only to our students who put in the work, but also our Academic Services staff led by Lo Price as well as our coaching staffs that emphasize the importance of succeeding academically.”
The APR results come on the heels of an equally impressive Graduation Success Rate (GSR) performance in the fall. IU scored a GSR of 92 percent, marking the 10th consecutive year that IU equaled or established a new record GSR score.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance. Noting The APR• The most recent APR scores are based on a multi-year formula of scores from the 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21 academic years.
• To compete in 2022-23 NCAA championships, teams must earn a 930 four-year average APR. • The goal of the NCAA's academic performance program is improvement, not punishment. Not only does the program ensure accountability for student-athletes, teams and institutions, but it also provides fairness by considering individual circumstances.
