Ten IU Athletics programs achieved perfect APR scores in the most recent annual update by the NCAA, and six have a four-year average with a perfect score.
The six IU programs that earned a perfect APR each of the last four years are Men’s Basketball, Men’s Tennis, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Cross Country, Women’s Tennis and Volleyball.
The 10 IU programs that earned a perfect APR score for the 2023-24 academic year are Men’s Basketball, Men’s Tennis, Women’s Basketball, Women’s Cross Country, Women’s Golf, Women’s Soccer, Women’s Tennis, Women’s Track, Volleyball, and Water Polo.
As a department, IU’s combined single-year APR score was 987, and all of IU’s 22 programs easily met the required four-year average of 930 to be eligible for NCAA Championship competition during the 2024-25 season.
“Supporting and celebrating our students’ opportunities to succeed academically is one of the primary goals for IU Athletics, which makes this type of success so meaningful to our students as well as our departmental staff,” said IU Vice President and Director of Athletics Scott Dolson. “Congratulations to our students, coaches, and staffs for never losing sight of our ultimate goal of seeing our students earn their Indiana University degrees.”
The goal of the NCAA’s academic performance program is improvement, not punishment. Not only does the program ensure accountability for student-athletes, teams and institutions, but it also provides fairness by considering individual circumstances.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team’s academic performance.
The most recent APR scores are based on a multi-year formula of scores from the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2023-24 academic years.
