INDIANAPOLISÂ - The NCAA has announced its latest single and multi-year Academic Progress Report (APR) for NCAA Division I schools. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation of all student-athletes on scholarship, and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
Â
The latest multi-year APR calculations include scores from 2013-14, 2014-15, 2015-16, and 2016-17. The average for Utah's teams was 986 easily exceeding the NCAA minimum requirement of 930.

Utah had five sports (gymnastics, men's tennis, women's basketball, women's tennis, and volleyball) with perfect single-year APR scores of 1000. The volleyball team earned a perfect single-year APR score for the fifth consecutive year, gymnastics received a perfect score for the fourth straight season, and men's tennis has been perfect for three years in a row.
Â
Cross country, gymnastics and volleyball each registered perfect multi-year APR scores of 1000. These teams, along with track, received public recognition from the NCAA for posting a multi-year APR in the top 10 percent of all athletic teams in the country. Track also posted the highest multi-year APR score for the Pac-12, while cross country, gymnastics and volleyball were all tied for the top score in their respective disciplines.

The football (983) and men's basketball (985) teams posted the third-highest multi-year APR scores in the Pac-12 for their respective sports. Football produced a multi-year APR ranking in the top third of the Pac-12 Conference for a seventh-straight year.
