PROVIDENCE, R.I. – The NCAA announced on Tuesday (Nov. 15) the overall Division I student-athlete Graduation Success Rate held steady at 90-percent, which continues to be the highest rate ever recorded. Providence College maintained its 97-percent Graduation Success Rate from 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.
Eleven Providence College programs posted a perfect 100-percent GSR for the 2012-15 cohort - women's basketball, field hockey, women's ice hockey, men's and women's cross country/track, men's and women's soccer, softball, women's swimming and diving, women's tennis and women's volleyball. The Friars' GSR of 97 was tied for third among all BIG EAST institutions for the 2012-15 cohort.
Figures released Tuesday reflect graduation numbers among student-athletes who entered college in 2015. The NCAA has tracked GSR for more than two decades, and student-athletes have long surpassed the original benchmark goal of 80%. Since the GSR's inception, the overall student-athlete rate has soared from 74% to a two-year consistent rate of 90%.
