STATESBORO – The NCAA released its Graduation Success Rate data for member schools on Wednesday, and three Georgia Southern varsity programs recorded a four-year weighted average of 100 percent from the years encompassing 2007-10.
The NCAA developed the Graduation Success Rate formula, or GSR, as part of its 2003 academic reform initiatives to better measure student-athlete academic success. It differs from the federal graduation rate in several ways, most notably by not penalizing schools that have transfers who depart in good academic standing and by counting transfers who enroll into a school in good academic standing.
