December 06, 2023 | General, Academic Services
LOUISVILLE, Ky. — University of Louisville student-athletes achieved a department-record 93% Graduation Success Rate (GSR) in the latest report released Wednesday by the NCAA.
Louisville's 93% GSR beats the school's previous best mark of 92% achieved last year, as well as the 91% recorded in the previous two years before that. The GSR was developed 19 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 2016-17 academic year. Louisville's GSR has risen by nearly 30% since reporting began 19 years ago.
UofL had 17 programs achieve a GSR of 90 or higher in Wednesday's report, while seven programs – men's basketball, women's basketball, men's golf, women's golf, field hockey, women's soccer and volleyball – recorded a perfect 100 mark.
All Louisville student-athletes combined to produce an average GPA of 3.0 or better for the 25th straight semester in spring 2023 with an impressive 3.327 collective GPA.
The Cardinals placed 404 student-athletes on the ACC 2022-23 Academic Honor Roll for those 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.
Overall, 111 UofL student-athletes received their degrees in the 2022-23 school year, including 96 graduates during the spring semester.
