Graduation Success Rates for the cohort of Division I scholarship student-athletes who entered college in 2005 were released Thursday by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
The annual NCAA report includes two different calculations of graduation rates — the Graduation Success Rate and freshman-cohort rate — to indicate the percentage of freshmen who entered during a given academic year and graduated within six years.
Georgia Southern’s athletics teams recorded a 63 percent Graduation Success Rate for all Eagle scholarship student-athletes during the measured six-year time period.
The current federal graduation rate for Georgia Southern scholarship student-athletes was reported at 55 percent, remaining at that level for the second-straight reporting period. That figure is eight percentage points higher than the federal graduation rate recorded for the University for the same time period.
Women’s tennis and volleyball both graduated all scholarship freshmen who entered Georgia Southern in 2005, posting a 100 percent GSR for this cohort. Women’s tennis extended its perfect score to seven-straight reporting periods while Volleyball now has four consecutive reporting periods with 100 percent GSR.
The Graduation Rates Report provides information about two groups of students at the university — all undergraduate students who were enrolled in a full-time program of study for a degree and student-athletes who received athletics aid from the university for any period of time during their entering year.
GSR was initiated by the NCAA at the request of college and university presidents who wanted to more accurately reflect the mobility among all college students.
