AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn Athletics posted its highest Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in program history, 91 percent. The NCAA released its Graduation Success Rate (GSR) on Nov. 17 as part of the annual academic performance program. Statistics represent students who began their studies during the 2013-14 academic year.
Auburn's GSR improved two percentage points from last year's previous program record. Men's golf, women's golf, women's basketball, gymnastics, soccer, volleyball and women's tennis each posted 100 GSR scores.
"We commend our student-athletes for crossing the finish line academically in record fashion," Director of Athletics Allen Greene said. "By working hard and maximizing the academic support services Auburn provides, these Auburn University graduates are fully equipped to enjoy careers of significance and service in their communities."
Auburn's 91% GSR ranks fifth in the Southeastern Conference.
ABOUT THE GRADUATION SUCCESS RATE: The GSR begins with the federal cohort, and adds transfer students, mid-year enrollees, and non-scholarship students (in specified cases) to the sample. Student-athletes who leave an institution while in good academic standing before exhausting athletics eligibility are removed from the cohort of their initial institution. This rate provides a more complete and accurate look at actual student-athlete success by taking into account the full variety of participants in Division I athletics and tracking their academic outcomes.
