A team's APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation to generate a measure of academic performance. Each semester, the APR creates a snapshot of a team's academic success as it tracks the progress of each student-athlete on scholarship.
The most recent APRs are multiyear rates based on scores from the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years.
