UK student athlete graduation rates set record

UK Athletics set school records in its Graduation Success Rate and Federal Graduation Rate.

UK’s Graduation Success Rate (GSR), a four-year composite statistic for the freshman classes of 2001-02 through 2004-05 for all scholarship athletes, was 77 percent, a three-point increase from a year ago.

UK’s Federal Graduation Rate (FGR), also a four-year composite statistic for the freshman classes of 2001-02 through 2004-05, is 58 percent, two points higher than its previous record.

The difference between the two rates is based on whether it counts transfer students, according to an NCAA release.
