South Carolina Releases APR Scores

All of the University of South Carolina’s countable intercollegiate sports posted a multiyear score of 960 or better, according to the Academic Progress Rate (APR) statistics that were released today. Of the eighteen measured sports, twelve sports recorded multiyear APR scores of 980 or better. Fourteen sports matched or improved on their multiyear rate and eleven sports improved on their single-year rate from last year.

Seven sports scored a perfect single-year score (1000) for the 2022-23 academic year. Volleyball registered a perfect single-year score for the tenth-straight year. Beach Volleyball continues its streak of perfect APR scoring since the NCAA started collecting data for the sport. Once again, our elite Women’s Basketball team outpaced the multiyear national average, this time by 14 points, while our Football team exceeded the multiyear national average by 18 points.

The APR is a point system based on scholarship student-athletes’ eligibility and retention for a pre-determined four-year time period. NCAA sports falling below the established multiyear cutoff (930) may be subject to penalties including scholarship reductions and postseason bans. For purposes of APR reporting, indoor & outdoor track & field teams are combined. The data released on Tuesday includes the scholarship student-athletes on rosters from the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22, and 2022-23 academic years.
