INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. --- The NCAA released the latest Division I graduation rate data, including the division's Graduation Success Rate (GSR), and Lobo athletics once again passed with flying colors. UNM's Student-Athlete Graduation Success Rate was 80%, besting last year's rate by 1%. UNM's four-year class average was 54%, six points higher than the general student population. The official GSR report for the University of New Mexico can be found here.
The national GSR for the entering class of 2012 increased one point to 89 percent. The Division I Board of Directors created the GSR in response to Division I college and university presidents who wanted data that more accurately reflected the mobility of college students than the federal graduation rate.
