BUFFALO, NY - The NCAA released annual Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) data and student-athletes at the University at Buffalo continued to excel in the classroom, posting a single-year rate of 982. In addition, three programs had perfect four-year rates.
Achieving perfect 1,000 four-year APR scores were women's cross country, women's tennis and volleyball.
In addition, eight other teams posted a score of 970 or higher for their four-year rates. Those teams were men's cross country (994), swimming & diving (995), women's track & field (988), softball (984), soccer (984), men's tennis (977), men's track & field (977) and wrestling (975).
In 2022-23, a total of seven teams posted a perfect single-year APR rate – men's basketball, men's cross country, men's track & field, women's cross country, women's swimming & diving, women's tennis and volleyball.
APR scores are based on retention and eligibility of each scholarship student-athlete. Each student-athlete can earn four points per year – one point for first-semester eligibility, one point for first-semester retention, one point for second-semester eligibility, and one point for second-semester retention. The total points earned are then divided by total points possible and the decimal place is dropped for the APR score.
The APR is a real-time measure of eligibility, retention and graduation of student-athletes competing on every NCAA Division I athletics team. The most recent scores are based on a multi-year rate that averages scores from 2018-19, 2019-20, 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years.
