Bulldogs’ Academic Progress Reports Posted

INDIANAPOLIS – The Citadel cadet-athletes continue to shine in the classroom as evidenced by the Academic Progress Report (APR) for 2018-19 released by the NCAA earlier this week.

Twelve programs scored above the NCAA threshold of 930. The men's and women's cross country teams, which were recognized last week with the Academic Progress Rate Public Recognition award, each had a perfect single-year score of 1,000. Men's tennis, men's and women's track and field, women's golf and volleyball all posted perfect scores of 1,000 for 2018-19. It is the second straight year seven Bulldog teams have posted perfect scores.

Other notables scores include soccer with a score of 987, baseball 970, basketball and wrestling 962, and football 957.

The APR measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or academic term and provides a clear picture of the academic performance for each team in every sport. All teams must meet an academic threshold of 930 to qualify for the postseason and can face penalties for continued low academic performance.

For the first time, a portion of NCAA revenue is being distributed this year to members based on the academic achievement of student-athletes, including APR scores.

Each school can earn one academic achievement unit per year if its student-athletes meet at least one of the following requirements:
  • Earn an overall single-year all-sport Academic Progress Rate of 985 or higher.
  • Earn an overall all-sport Graduation Success Rate of 90 percent or higher.
  • Earn a federal graduation rate that is at least 13 percentage points higher than the federal graduation rate of the student body at that school.
