Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå Receives NCAA DII Presidents' Award For Academic Excellence

Published: December 3, 2024.


The Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University athletic department was honored by the NCAA, receiving the NCAA Division II Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence, awarded to Division II schools that have achieved an Academic Success Rate of 90 percent or higher. 

The Academic Success Rate is the percentage of student-athletes who graduate within six years of initial collegiate enrollment and includes virtually all Division II student-athletes.

The Division II ASR includes transfers into a school in the calculation and removes those who transferred out of the school while academically eligible. The ASR also includes over 30,000 nonscholarship student-athletes who were enrolled in the four years covered in the most recent data.

Even when using the less-inclusive federal graduation rate, student-athletes are outperforming their peers in the general student population by six percentage points. For Division II student-athletes, the federal rate is 59 percent, while the general student body federal rate is 53 percent.

Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå University is a modern, enterprising, Catholic university with a growing student enrollment from GED through doctoral level programs. As part of the global Lasallian network of 65 universities, Â鶹´«Ã½¸ßÇå is known for preparing graduates who impact the world for the better. Visit www.lewisu.edu for further information.
