ATHENS, Ohio -- Ohio Athletics continued its recent history of solid Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores, as announced by the NCAA in its 2022-23 data report, which was released this afternoon (June 4). 
 
Ohio recorded a department-wide single-year APR score of 990 for 2023, marking the eighth-straight year the department has scored a 980 or better. This year's mark is four points higher than last year's mark of 986. 
 
Ohio also tallied a department-wide multi-year APR score of 987, putting the Bobcats well above the NCAA mandated minimum four-year score of 930 required to compete in the 2023-24 postseason. NCAA members chose the 930 standard because that score predicts, on average, a 50% graduation rate. Additionally, teams must earn a four-year APR of at least 930 to avoid penalties.  
 
Nine of the intercollegiate programs that represent Ohio achieved a perfect 1,000 single-year APR score, with the men's basketball, men's cross country, men's golf, women's basketball, women's cross country, women's golf, soccer, swimming and diving and volleyball teams attaining a perfect single-year APR score.  

  

The Ohio football, wrestling, soccer, swimming and diving and women's track and field programs all recorded single-year score improvements from 2021-22 to 2022-23.  
 
"Our student-athletes continue to earn high APR marks and we are extremely proud of the nine teams who scored a perfect single-year APR score," said Ohio Director of Athletics Julie Cromer. "This achievement shows our dedication to academic success. These scores are only possible through the efforts of incredibly hard-working student-athletes, faculty, staff and coaches." 
 
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 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years.
