ATLANTA – Georgia State student-athletes have once again performed well in the classroom according to NCAA statistics released Tuesday as part of the Academic Progress Rate (APR) update.

Among the highlights of the report were seven Panther squads posting multiyear APR averages above 985 – including a perfect score of 1000 by both the women's golf and beach volleyball programs to rank within the top 10 percent of teams in the country.

Each student-athlete receiving athletically related financial aid earns one retention point for staying in school and one eligibility point for being academically eligible. The total points for the team are divided by points possible and multiplied by 1,000 to create the APR score.

Per the NCAA, Division I student-athletes continue to achieve classroom success at record-high levels, earning an overall multiyear Academic Progress Rate of 983.

Every Division I sports team submits data to have its Academic Progress Rate calculated each academic year. The NCAA reports both single-year and four-year rates, on which penalties for poor academic performance are based. National aggregates are based on all teams with usable, member-provided data. APR scores for each team, lists of teams receiving public recognition and those receiving sanctions are available online through the NCAA's searchable database.
