NCAA Release
HAMILTON – Colgate student-athletes maintained their standing for another year among NCAA Division I leaders in academic achievement, with 18 teams earning perfect Academic Progress Rate scores for 2015-16.
Colgate also received 13 NCAA Public Recognition Awards for the second straight year and saw 11 teams once again record perfect multiyear APR scores. For Colgate Men's Golf, it's the 12th straight year of a perfect APR score – one of just 93 programs nationally to hold that distinction.
The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for Division I sports teams nationally. Teams must meet a certain academic threshold to qualify for postseason competition and can face penalties for continued low academic performance.
The APR measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or quarter and provides a clear picture of the academic performance for each team in each sport. The most recent APRs are multiyear rates based on scores from the 2012-13 through the 2015-16 academic years.
