BOULDER — The NCAA released its annual report for the Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and Federal Graduation Rate (FGR) data for the 2015-16 freshman cohorts this week, and University of Colorado student-athletes recorded a record-setting performance.
Colorado's GSR logged in at 96 percent, topping the previous best of 93 percent in the 2013 report. The FGR, which has long penalized schools for losing transfers but not counting those who enroll at CU and graduate, was 78 percent, besting the old high of 70 percent for those who were admitted to CU in 2013. It was also higher than the overall rate for the CU campus (74 percent) for the same time period.
