Men’s basketball, men’s golf, women’s basketball, women’s golf, softball, soccer, tennis and volleyball each scored the same as or above the national fouryear APR of 984.

Women’s basketball, meanwhile, also had its first perfect score in program history.
Women’s track and volleyball increased its scores from last year as women’s track went from 973 to 981 while volleyball went from 985 to 995.
The APR was volleyball’s highest in program history.
Women’s soccer had a score above 990 for the fourth year in a row.
The NCAA APR is calculated by a team’s scholarship student-athletes earning one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating.
In other words, if a team score 1,000 in APR points, it means it has graduated, retained and maintained academic eligibility for 100 percent of its cohort over the given years.
The 2021-22 APR includes the 2018-19, 201920, 2020-21 and 2021-22 academic years.
