CHAPEL HILL –– The percentages of Tar Heel student-athletes who earned their undergraduate degrees at the University of North Carolina improved again in several NCAA measures released today, including single-year and four-year cohorts in both the Graduation Success Rates and the Federal Graduation Rate.
Graduation Success Rates measure graduation rates for student-athletes by team, taking into account student-athletes who are on scholarship their first year and who graduate from their respective university or leave the program via transfer to another university or professional opportunities while in good academic standing. This cohort of student-athletes entered college from 2009 to 2012.
