UCF Press Release:
Amazing APR Again
Knights continue to shine in NCAA academic measurement
ORLANDO, Fla. (UCFKnights.com) -- UCF's Everyday Champion student-athletes simply continue to excel in the classroom. For the 10th consecutive year, the Knights' Academic Progress Rate (APR) numbers have improved.
UCF has a department-wide, four-year average APR of 981. That number is a school record, is up four points from the previous year and ranks third in the State of Florida. Wednesday's release of APR information by the NCAA includes data through the 2013-14 academic year. The APR provides a "snapshot" look at a team's academic success on a yearly basis. The APR score takes into account graduation, retention and eligibility to determine a clear picture of the current academic culture of a program.
The NCAA uses multi-year averages to track a program's academic progress. The multi-year rate includes the previous four years' worth of data. The NCAA began compiling APR information in 2004.
"We believe in the holistic development of student-athletes at UCF. We have coaches, administrators, staff and student-athletes who are committed to a high level of academic success as part of that approach," UCF Vice President and Director of Athletics Todd Stansbury said. "I can't say enough about our Everyday Champion student-athletes and the hard work they display, not just in the classroom, but in competition and in the community as well."
A perfect APR score is 1000. Two Knights' programs have achieved a perfect multi-year score. Head coach Todd Dagenais' volleyball program and the women's tennis team, led by Stephanie Nickitas, both have perfect scores of 1000. It's the fourth straight perfect score for women's tennis and the third consecutive 1000 for volleyball.
