University of Florida continues to return outstanding APR scores
The NCAA released its latest Academic Progress Rate (APR) findings on Tuesday, where the University of Florida excelled across the athletic program.
A top-five public university according to US News & World Report, the flagship school in Florida continues to climb the rankings.
The APR provides a real-time look at a team’s academic success by tracking eligibility and progress toward graduation of each student-athlete on scholarship. The current report contains multi-year rates based on the four years from the 2018-19 academic year through the 2021-22 academic years.

“Today’s APR is another example of the dedication Gator student-athletes show in the academic arena,” Florida athletic director Scott Stricklin said. “This weekend, we will applaud many Gators who achieve their goal of earning a University of Florida degree.”
Florida Gymnastics and Volleyball scored a perfect 1,000 score. Both gymnastics and volleyball went on to win SEC Championships this past season. Women’s Swimming and Diving narrowly missed the perfect 1,000 mark, scoring a 998.
