TOLEDO, Ohio - The NCAA recently released its annual Academic Progress Rate (APR) figures for the four-year period from 2020-21 to 2023-24, and the University of Toledo once again received very impressive scores across the board.

All 16 Rocket varsity sports posted a 973 score or higher, well above the NCAA's "cut point" of 930, with Men's Golf and Women's Tennis leading the way with perfect 1000 marks. In addition, Men's Basketball (989) tied for the highest APR score in the MAC in its sport. Women's Soccer (998) ranked second, while Softball (998) and Football (973) each ranked third in their respective sports.

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 2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23 and 2023-24 school years.
