Academic Success†

The Academic Success Rate (ASR) is compiled by each NCAA Division II institution and is used as an indicator of academic success for college student-athletes. The ASR includes transfers from another institution in the calculation of the rate, but removes from the cohort students who left the institution while academically eligible to compete. Additionally, the ASR includes all non-scholarship freshman student-athletes on the roster on the first date of competition.

The Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) is compiled by the U.S. Department of Education and is used as an indicator of academic success for college student-athletes. FGR measures the percentage of first-time, full-time freshmen who graduate within six years of entering their original four-year institution.

The chart below compares the six-year USI graduation rate between all USI students and USI student-athletes. These students began 2010 and graduated by August 2016.

Retention †

The Retention Chart below shows how well USI performed in the retention of student athletes in 2015-2016. A score of 1000 is considered perfect.

The following chart shows the percent of USI student-athletes by college in 2016-2017 (N=331).
