TOLEDO, Ohio - The NCAA released its annual Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures for the four-year period from 2017-18 to 2020-21, and once again the University of Toledo received very impressive scores across the board.
All 16 Rocket varsity sports had at least a 956 score, well above the NCAA's "cut point" of 930, with Men's Tennis and Women's Soccer leading the way with perfect 1000 marks. Six other Rocket teams had an APR of 990 or higher: Women's Basketball (996), Women's Volleyball (995), Men's Golf (994), Women's Tennis (992), Women's Swimming & Diving (991) and Softball (990). Football (978), Men's Tennis and Women's Soccer each tied for the highest score among schools in the Mid-American Conference.
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 2017-18, 2018-19, 2019-20, and 2020-21 school years.
