Long Beach State boasts top performers as the NCAA's APR program completes a return to normal operations after COVID-19 adjustments.
LONG BEACH, Calif. – Long Beach State saw all programs once again meet the minimum standard for the NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) scores which were announced Tuesday by the NCAA for the four-year period ending in 2022-23.
Long Beach State had three programs that recorded a perfect score of 1000 in Men's Cross Country, Women's Tennis and Women's Golf, and all three received NCAA Public Recognition Awards as high performing programs in the Top 10 percent of their sport nationally. Overall, Long Beach State had 13 programs of their 17 monitored that finished with scores over 970.
The APR was developed by the NCAA in 2004 to measure the academic progress and performance of athletic programs at its member institutions. The APR is determined by using the eligibility and retention for each student-athlete on scholarship during a particular academic year. Student-athletes are awarded one point for each semester they are enrolled and one point for each semester they are eligible for intercollegiate competition. A student-athlete can earn a maximum of two points per semester and a maximum of four points during an academic year.
The APR is calculated by taking the number of possible points for a particular sport and dividing that number by the total number of points earned from student-athlete retention and eligibility over the same period of time. The percentage is then multiplied by 1,000 to get the actual APR. The minimum APR academic standard for each team is 930.
The NCAA does not penalize an institution for student-athletes who remain academically eligible but did not return to the institution due to circumstances beyond the student and/or institution's control. Examples of this include student-athletes who leave to pursue professional athletics, suffer from incapacitating physical or mental illness, or experience extreme financial difficulties as the result of a specific event such as a death in the family.
