TOLEDO, OH –University of Toledo student-athletes earned a combined grade point average of 3.202 in the 2016 fall semester, the fifth-highest department semester GPA in school history, Vice-President and Athletic Director Mike O'Brien announced today. It is only the fifth time UT student-athletes have had a semester GPA over 3.2, and the 16th consecutive semester in which the Rockets earned a combined GPA of 3.1 or higher.
"Excellence in the classroom is what we've come to expect from our student-athletes, and this past semester was no exception" said O'Brien. "A department-wide GPA of over a 3.2 is a great accomplishment for our student-athletes, and all those behind the scenes who support their efforts – parents, coaches, faculty, tutors and our Student-Athlete Academic Services (SAAS) staff."
Individually, 37 student-athletes earned President's List honors with a perfect 4.0 GPA, while more than 41 percent (154 of 374) earned a spot on the Dean's List by garnering at least a 3.50 GPA, and more than 66 percent (249 of 374) achieved a 3.0 grade point average or better for the 2016 fall semester.
