School-Record Nine Teams Earn Perfect Graduation Success Rates
November 20, 2024 | Bruin Athletics
A school record nine UCLA Athletics teams โ baseball, women's basketball, beach volleyball, women's golf, gymnastics, rowing, women's tennis, women's volleyball and men's water polo โ recorded a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 100 percent. The 2024 GSR release is based on scholarship student-athletes who entered college as freshmen or transfers in the 2014-15 through 2017-18 classes.
ย
Seven of the nine teams have sustained 100 percent graduation rates for consecutive years. This is the 12th consecutive year for both women's basketball and women's tennis, 10th for women's golf, seventh for gymnastics, sixth for rowing, third for baseball, and second for beach volleyball.
ย
Seventeen of UCLA's 21 programs had a GSR of 90 percent or higher. UCLA has 25 teams, but for this report, cross country, indoor track and field and outdoor track and field are counted as one sport. UCLA Athletics' overall GSR improved to 91%, the second-highest overall mark in school history.
ย
The GSR is the NCAA's more comprehensive calculation of student-athlete academic success. The NCAA rate is more accurate than the federally-mandated methodology because it is more inclusive of the total student-athlete population. The GSR includes incoming transfers and students enrolling in the winter or spring quarters who receive athletics aid. Student-athletes who leave an institution academically and athletically eligible to compete are removed from their respective cohorts.
