INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – University of Portland Athletics posted a 93 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR) per the latest data released by the NCAA, marking the 14th consecutive year that the University has posted a GSR higher than 90 percent. The report pulls graduation rates from student-athletes in the 2015-18 cohorts.
The Pilots have 12 teams represented on the latest GSR report. All teams posted a GSR of at least 77, with six teams posting a perfect GSR of 100 – Women's Basketball, Women's Soccer, Women's Tennis, Women's Volleyball, Beach Volleyball and Men's Tennis. Those six programs also had a perfect GSR score in last year's report.
GSR was created in 2002 in response to Division I college and university presidents who wanted data that more accurately reflected the mobility of college students beyond what the federal graduation rate measures. The federal rate counts any student who leaves a school as an academic failure, even if the student enrolls at another school. Also, the federal rate does not recognize students who enter schools as transfer students.
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 measurement of student-athlete success.
