Student-athletes at the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa have consistently shown strong performances in the classroom. This year, their rankings by the NCAA<\/abbr> showed off impressive scores near an all-time high with eight of the 18 teams each scoring a perfect 1,000.<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> Mānoa scored a 980 overall, which is just shy of its record 986 in the 2020–21 academic year. The Academic Performance Rate (APR<\/abbr>) scores were released by the NCAA<\/abbr> on June 14.<\/p>\n

\"male<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s teams posting perfect scores were basketball, golf, softball, soccer, swimming and diving, and tennis. The men\u2019s teams that scored 1,000 were golf, and swimming and diving.<\/p>\n

The APR<\/abbr> is calculated based on the number of student-athletes on scholarship and those who are retained and remain eligible for competition. Teams with a four-year score below 930 or a 950 average over the most recent two years, can be penalized by a loss of scholarships and post-season ban. For the 14th consecutive year, no UH<\/abbr> Mānoa team was penalized with the loss of scholarships.<\/p>\n

The NCAA<\/abbr> Committee on Academic Performance instituted the APR<\/abbr> data requirements beginning in the 2003–04 academic year. The benchmark of 930 projects to an NCAA<\/abbr> Graduation Success Rate of approximately 50%. The overall goal of measuring APR<\/abbr>s is to encourage improved academic performance and help institutional administrators examine admission policies, retention and graduation rates, and improve academic support for student-athletes. Only student-athletes on scholarship are factored into the APR<\/abbr> scores.<\/p>\n

UH<\/abbr> fields 21 intercollegiate sports programs, however, the NCAA<\/abbr>‘s APR<\/abbr> only includes 18 as indoor and outdoor track and field are counted as one score and coed and women’s sailing are non-NCAA<\/abbr> sports.<\/p>\n
