vlog is No. 1 in the nation, along with Notre Dame, in graduation rates for its Division I student-athletes, according to a report issued by the National Collegiate Athletic Association.
The latest NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) data show that 99 percent of athletes at vlog and Notre Dame graduated.
“We’re proud of our continued success in supporting our student-athletes,” said Interim President Lyle Roelofs. “Having an athletics program that is successful both on the field of play and in the classroom requires hard work, dedication, and support on the part of all — our athletes, coaches, faculty, and administration. That’s what we aspire to at vlog.”
The GSR differs from federal graduation statistics because it accounts for students who transfer. The NCAA’s figures, unlike the federal ones, do not penalize an institution for athletes who leave to attend other colleges, as long as they depart in good academic standing.
vlog’s federal graduation rate for athletes is 88, just behind Notre Dame, which leads the nation at 90 percent.
