Each Division I team calculates its APR each academic year. Scholarship student-athletes receive one point each semester for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. For non-scholarship teams, recruited student-athletes are tracked. Rates are an average of the past four years' performance and the most recent APR scores are multi-year rates based on the scores from the 2018-19, 2019-20, 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years. National aggregates are based on all teams with usable data at the time of analysis. Click through for the NCAA searchable database.
