GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Success in the classroom was evident again for University of Florida student-athletes in the Academic Progress Rate (APR), announced Tuesday by the NCAA.
Two Florida teams that won Southeastern Conference titles in 2022-23 season turned in the max of 1,000 scores – gymnastics and volleyball. Florida's overall average APR is 986, above the national four-year rate of 984.
"Today's APR is another example of the dedication Gator student-athletes show in the academic arena," Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin said. "This weekend, we will applaud many Gators who achieve their goal of earning a University of Florida degree."
Thirteen Florida teams exceeded or equaled its sport's national average. This includes Florida football team's 977, which is above the NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) national average of 968. Men's (995) and women's (986) basketball and baseball (988) also surpass the national averages of 967, 982 and 977, respectively.
Since 2020, a portion of NCAA revenue is distributed to members based on student-athletes' academic achievement, including APR scores. Schools earn one academic achievement unit per year if its student-athletes meet at least one of these requirements:
Florida qualifies for the NCAA revenue distribution as it meets the first two points.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's academic success by tracking eligibility and progress toward graduation of each student-athlete on scholarship. The current report contains multi-year rates based on the four years from the 2018-19 academic year through the 2021-22 academic years.
To compete in 2023-24 postseason action, teams must achieve a 930 four-year APR in this report. This is the 19th year of the APR.
