     Toledo, Ohio - The NCAA released its annual Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures today, and once again the University of Toledo received very impressive scores across the board.
   For the four-year period from 2014-15 to 2017-18, all 16 Rocket varsity sports had at least a 957 score, well above the NCAA's "cut point" of 930, with Women's Golf, Men's Tennis and Women's Tennis leading the way with perfect 1000 marks. Those three sports plus Football (981) had either the highest APR score or were tied for the highest score in the Mid-American Conference. Six other Rocket teams were within five APR points of the league leader: Baseball, Men's Basketball, Women's Basketball, Women's Soccer, Women's Swimming & Diving and Women's Volleyball.
      "These impressive APR numbers are a reflection of the terrific job our student-athletes are doing in the classroom," said University of Toledo Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O'Brien. "Strong APR numbers are a very good indicator that our student-athletes are on track to graduate, so it was no surprise when we saw 77 Rocket student-athletes receive their diplomas at spring commencement last week."
     APR is a gauge of every team's academic performance at a given point in time. Points are awarded on a semester-by-semester basis for eligibility, retention and graduation of scholarship student-athletes. "1000" is considered a perfect score. Sports that fail to reach the "cut point" (930) can be penalized with the loss of scholarships, practice restrictions and post-season bans. The APR data released today is a cumulative figure taken from the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17, 2017-18 school years.
