  • Student-athletes are separated into four sport groups: 听football, basketball, track/cross country and all other reportable sports (at CU 色吧亚洲 these sports are golf, soccer, skiing, tennis and volleyball).
  • Student-athlete data is restricted to those students who received athletic aid in their first term enrolled at CU 色吧亚洲).
  • Each April, the Office of Data Analytics submits data for the IPEDS Graduation Rates Survey of the US Department of Education. 听The population of students in this dataset听is full-time (12+ hours counted at the end of the fall term) first-time听freshman who entered in the summer or fall cohort year. 听The cohort year听is six years prior to the previous summer term of when the report is submitted听(i.e. in 2007, with the previous summer term being in 2006, the cohort year is 2000). 听This gives students a full six years (or 150% of "normal time") to complete their degree.
  • Timeline of reporting student-athlete graduation rate data
    • Prior to 2004, we submitted all data to IPEDS and the NCAA obtained the information from IPEDS.
    • From 2004 to 2007 we submitted reports to both IPEDS and the NCAA.
    • From 2008 to 2009 we posted all-freshman counts to the IPEDS collection site in April, and student-athlete counts to the NCAA data collection site only, in May. 听The NCAA then calculates the graduation rates.
    • Beginning in 2010, the NCAA requested submission of outcomes for student-athletes by individual. 听The NCAA then used these records to calculate graduation rates. 听IPEDS submission remain unchanged.
  • Additionally, the NCAA asks for completion data on student-athletes who entered either as a spring freshman or as a transfer student.听Please e-mail us听if you would like to inquire about viewing these data.

The NCAA produces two summary reports upon submission of the student athlete data.

  • NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) Report. 听By gender and sport. 听Shows two rates for the four-year combined cohort. The "federal" rate is the听standard six-year graduation rate for new first-time freshmen athletes. The GSR includes student-athletes听transferring in and those entering in spring, and allows institutions to subtract (from the denominator)听student-athletes who leave the institution prior to graduation as long as they would have been academically听eligible to compete had they remained.听
