NCAA Release

IRVINE, Calif. - The UC Irvine men's and women's golf teams were honored Tuesday with NCAA Public Recognition Awards for their academic success.

Public Recognition Awards are given to teams that post multi-year Academic Progress Rates (APR) in the top 10% of their respective sports.
 
Overall, UCI Athletics has garnered 29 NCAA Public Recognition Awards since the program was implemented 15 years ago. Women's golf received the accolade for the first time, while it is the second honor for men's golf, which was also recognized in 2014-15. 
 
The NCAA will release the full APR report featuring all 2018-19 scores on May 19.
 
The APR is an annual scorecard of academic achievement calculated for all Division I sports teams. It creates a real-time look at a team's academic success by tracking the progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. It accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation, and provides a measure of each team's academic performance.
