BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – Indiana University students who compete in intercollegiate athletics continue to excel in the classroom according to the latest NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) data released today. Thirteen of IU's 22 programs earned perfect 1,000 APR scores for the 2022-23 academic year.
The 13 IU programs that earned a perfect APR score for the 2022-23 academic year are Baseball, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Women's Cross Country, Men's Cross Country, Field Hockey, Women's Golf, Softball, Men's Soccer, Men's Tennis, Women's Tennis, Women's Track and Field, and Volleyball.
As a department, IU's combined single-year APR score was 991, 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 2024-25 season.
"We are extremely proud of all of our programs for continuing to perform at an extremely high level in the classroom, and today's APR announcement is the latest example of our success in this critical area," said IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Dolson. "Earning an Indiana University degree is the ultimate goal for our student-athletes. Today's news is a recognition of not only the great work our students are putting in, but also the commitment that our coaching and support staffs make to supporting our students academically."
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 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21, and 2021-22 academic years.
• To compete in 2023-24 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.
