Under the revised penalty structure, the Division I Board of Directors has set a cut score of 930 (out of 1,000) as a threshold for teams to meet or face possible sanctions. An APR of 930 projects a 50 percent Graduation Success Rate (GSR).The goal of the NCAA&#8217;s academic performance program is improvement, not punishment. Not only does the program ensure accountability for student-athletes, teams and institutions, but also it provides fairness by considering individual circumstances per team and school<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\"><strong>CLEMSON APR DATA<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\"><strong>SPORT \u2013 MULTIYEAR APR \u2013 2013-14 APR<\/strong><\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1 s1\">Men\u2019s Sports<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Baseball \u2013 990 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Basketball \u2013 989 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Cross Country \u2013 973 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Football \u2013 984 \u2013 994<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Golf \u2013 994 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Soccer \u2013 954 \u2013 988<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Tennis \u2013 971 \u2013 982<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Indoor Track \u2013 967 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Outdoor Track \u2013 967 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">\u00a0<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1 s1\">Women\u2019s Sports<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Basketball \u2013 957 \u2013 980<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Cross Country \u2013 992 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Diving \u2013 1000 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Golf \u2013 1000 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Rowing \u2013 987 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Soccer \u2013 989 \u2013 991<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Tennis \u2013 983 \u2013 1000<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Indoor Track \u2013 969 \u2013 980<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Outdoor Track \u2013 970 \u2013 980<\/span><br \/><span class=\"s1\">Volleyball \u2013 989 \u2013 1000<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"Back_Article_Link\"><a class=\"purple\" title=\"Back\" href=\"http:\/\/www.clemsontigers.com\/SportSelect.dbml?ATCLID=210111312&amp;DB_LANG=C&amp;DB_OEM_ID=28500&amp;SPID=160208&amp;SPSID=935314\">More from Clemson The $2 Blog<\/a><\/div>\n<hr class=\"orange\" \/>\n<div class=\"cubeAdRightColumn\">\n<p>advertisement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Click below for the full article<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.clemsontigers.com\/\/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=28500&#038;ATCLID=210111312\" target=\"_blank\">Continued Excellence in NCAA APR<\/a><br \/>\nSource: Clemson Football<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CLEMSON, S.C. &#8211; Clemson University&#8217;s 19 athletic programs each exceeded the NCAA baseline Academic Progress Rate thresholds for the 2013-14 year, according to data released by the NCAA today.
