PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The NCAA announced last week the overall Division I student-athlete Graduation Success Rate increased to 89-percent, the highest ever. Providence College posted a 95-percent Graduation Success Rate according to the recent data released.

The GSR formula 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. This calculation provides a more accurate appraisal of student-athlete success.

Nine Providence College programs posted a perfect 100-percent GSR for the 2009-12 cohort - men's and women's hockey, men's and women's swimming and diving, field hockey, women's cross country/track, softball, women's tennis and women's volleyball.

Last spring, five Providence College programs were recognized with NCAA Public Recognition Awards for scoring in the top 10-percent of their respective sports in Academic Progress Rate (APR) for the 2017-18 season.
