The NCAA Graduation Success Rate Report gives graduation information about the most recent six-year graduating class of students and student-athletes who enter as freshmen in 2014-15. The graduation success rate (percent) is based on a comparison of the number of student-athletes who entered a college or university and the number of those who graduated within six years.
