GREELEY, Colo. – University of Northern Colorado posted a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 93 percent in the NCAA's most recent report released Wednesday. The GSR measures the four-year cohort that includes classes from 2013-2016.
"I am really proud of our student-athletes for their hard work in the classroom and the support from our coaches and academic staff," said UNC Director of Athletics Darren Dunn. "Our number one priority is and will always be graduating our student-athletes. We are also very fortunate to have great faculty who are about our student-athlete success."
11 programs finished with scores at or above 90, including perfect scores for cross country & track and field, women's basketball, women's golf, women's soccer, women's swimming & diving, and women's volleyball.
A complete and searchable Graduation Rates Report is available online, at NCAA.org.
ABOUT THE NCAA's GRADUATION SUCCESS RATE
The NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) is designed to show the proportion of student-athletes on any given team who earn a college degree. The NCAA has imposed a new set of academic standards that seeks to hold teams and institutions accountable for how well a student-athlete progresses toward a degree.
The GSR was developed in response to colleges and universities who asked for an alternative rate that more accurately reflects the movement among college student-athletes. The GSR takes into account incoming transfers who graduate from a different institution than the one they started at and transfers who leave an institution in good standing.
