WACO, TEX. —The Utah program has been recognized for academic excellence by the American Football Coaches Association for having a Federal Graduation Rate of 75 percent or better.
Utah was one of 65 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision institutions to attain a GSR of 75 percent or better and one of three Pac-12 schools, along with Colorado, UCLA and Washington State.
The GSR was developed by the NCAA as part of its academic reform initiative to more accurately assess the academic success of student-athletes. The GSR holds institutions accountable for transfer students, unlike the federal graduation rate. The GSR also accounts for midyear enrollees.
