LOUISVILLE, Ky. — University of Louisville student-athletes achieved a department-record 92% Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in the latest report released Tuesday by the NCAA.
Louisville's 92% GSR beats the school's previous best mark of 91% achieved in each of the previous two years. The GSR was developed 18 years ago to account for transfers, including mid-year enrollees, into the university who graduate and those who leave in good academic standing.
The most recent report accounts for freshmen who entered in the 2015-16 academic year. Louisville's GSR has risen by nearly 30% since reporting began 18 years ago.
Twenty-two Cardinal programs attained a GSR of 78 or better in the most recent report, with 15 programs achieving a 90 or higher. Eight programs – baseball, men's basketball, men's golf, women's basketball, field hockey, women's golf, women's lacrosse and volleyball – recorded a perfect 100 mark.
All UofL student athletes combined to produce an average GPA of 3.0 or better for the 23rd straight semester in spring 2022 with an impressive 3.256 collective GPA.
The Cardinals placed 467 student-athletes on the Athletic Director's Honor Roll, which recognizes student-athletes with at least a 3.0 grade point average for the semester.
They also placed 417 student-athletes on the Atlantic Coast Conference 2021-22 Academic Honor Roll for student-athletes who participated in a varsity-level sport and registered a GPA of 3.0 or better for the full academic year. Louisville was one of six schools with more than 400 student-athletes earning recognition.
