Syracuse Remains Ahead of National APR Curve

For the 12th year in a row Syracuse University Athletics scored higher than a 982 in the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) program. Syracuse's 2022-23 APR is 987, a two-point increase from last year's 985, and three points better than the national average of 984. The Orange women's cross country and women's volleyball teams posted perfect 1,000 APR multi-year marks. It is the fifth consecutive year that the women's volleyball team has posted a perfect multi-year APR. The APR, which began in 2006, is a team-based metric accounting for the retention and eligibility of current student-athletes.

"Syracuse Student-Athletes continue to demonstrate both athletic and academic excellence," said Assistant Provost for Student-Athlete Academic Development Tommy Powell. "This sustained APR success demonstrates how important a degree from Syracuse University is to each student-athlete and how it will prepare them for life beyond athletics."

The NCAA also tracks one-year APR scores for every team. Six Syracuse programs, including women's basketball, women's cross country, women's lacrosse, softball, women's tennis and women's volleyball, achieved perfect one-year APR scores.

The APR score follows individual student and total program progression at each Division I institution, tracking student-athletes by assigning points for each semester they remain eligible and for staying enrolled or graduating.

Every Syracuse team surpassed the minimum standard of 930 (a perfect score is 1,000). The most recent APRs are multiyear rates based on scores from the 2019-20, 20-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 academic years.
