CHAPEL HILL – The University of North Carolina's single-year Academic Progress Rate improved for the second year in a row and 23 of UNC's 28 sports exceed the national four-year average in their respective sports in data released today by the NCAA.
The NCAA uses the Academic Progress Rate to track the academic performance of scholarship students who compete on varsity teams. The score measures eligibility and retention each semester by student athletes at every NCAA institution. The APRs released today include single-year scores for 2017-18 and four-year rates that reflect scores from the 2014-15, 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 academic years.
