PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The NCAA announced on Tuesday (Nov. 17) the overall Division I student-athlete Graduation Success Rate increased to 90-percent, the highest ever. Providence College posted a 97-percent Graduation Success Rate, up two percentage points since the last data release a year ago.
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 2010-13 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. The Friars' GSR of 97 was tied for second among all BIG EAST institutions for the 2010-13 cohort.
Last spring, five Providence College programs (men's cross country, women's basketball, women's soccer, women's swimming and diving and women's tennis) 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 2018-19 season.
