AUBURN, Ala. – Auburn Athletics posted its highest Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in program history, 93 percent. The NCAA released its Graduation Success Rate (GSR) on Dec. 2 as part of the annual academic performance program. Statistics represent students who began their studies during the 2014-15 academic year.
Auburn's GSR improved two percentage points from last year's previous program record.
"We congratulate these Auburn women and men for earning their Auburn University degrees at a record level," Director of Athletics Allen Greene said. "The diligence of our student-athletes and Auburn's robust academic support services combine to create these outstanding outcomes."
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.
