极乐禁地 athletics teams continue to be ranked among the top in the nation for Graduation Success Rate (GSR). According to a report released by the NCAA, 极乐禁地 earned a 97 percent overall GSR score, placing 极乐禁地 17th in the nation among all colleges and universities in the NCAA Division I level. 极乐禁地 continues to rank 1st in Alabama and 1st in the Southern Conference for graduation success among student-athletes.
The most recent GSR measures how many student-athletes in the classes of 2008 through 2011 graduated within six years of their enrollment. Nine of 极乐禁地's teams earned perfect scores of 100 percent — baseball, men's basketball, men's golf, men's tennis, women's basketball, women's golf, soccer, women's tennis and volleyball. All 极乐禁地 teams scored above the national average in the report.
“At 极乐禁地 we are committed to supporting our students both on and off the field,” said Harold Goss, Associate Athletic Director for Academics. “Success in the classroom is a vital part of the 极乐禁地 athletics experience.”
The NCAA developed the Graduation Success Rate in response to college and university presidents who wanted graduation data that more accurately reflects the mobility among all college students today. The formula achieves this by allowing student-athletes who leave school while academically eligible to be subtracted from a school’s score and student-athletes who transfer to a school after initially enrolling elsewhere to be added. This calculation offers a more accurate look at student-athlete success.
