Rockets rank second among MAC schools in key graduation rate indicator
TOLEDO, Ohio - The University of Toledo received a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 93 percent for its athletic department, a figure ranking second among the 12 schools in the Mid-American Conference, in the latest figures released by the NCAA. This is the second consecutive year that the Rockets have achieved a 93 percent GSR and the sixth straight year at 92 percent or higher.
Five Rocket teams scored a perfect 100 GSR: men's basketball, women's basketball, men's tennis. women's tennis, and women's volleyball. Football recorded a 94 GSR, tying last year's mark as the highest total in school history and second only to Miami in the MAC this year.
 "Our graduation success rate numbers are a clear indicator that our student-athletes are graduating at a very high rate," said University of Toledo Vice President and Director of Athletics Bryan B. Blair. "Before they leave here, we want our student-athletes to win a championship and earn a meaningful degree, and in many cases that includes receiving a master's degree as well. We are proud of the academic achievements of our student-athletes and look forward to their continued success in the classroom."
GSR is a gauge of every team's graduation rate within a six-year period of a student-athlete's enrollment. The latest GSR figures examined the student-athlete cohort that originally enrolled in 2017Â and would need to have graduated by August of 2023Â to count as a graduate. The GSR formula, intended to be a more complete and accurate look at student-athlete success, removes from the rate student-athletes who leave school while academically eligible and includes student-athletes who transfer to a school after initially enrolling elsewhere. The GSR also allows for a deeper understanding of graduation success in individual sports than the federal metric, which has broader groupings.
