<\/a>It is the fourth time in the last five semesters that UT student-athletes have broken the GPA record, but none of the previous increases were as dramatic as last semester.<\/p>\nThe 3.266 GPA also marked the seventh consecutive semester that UT student-athletes have earned a combined GPA of 3.1 or higher, and the 12th time in the last 14 semesters above a 3.0. <\/p>\n
Additionally, 14 of UT’s 15 sport programs had team GPAs of 3.0 or above, and every program had a team GPA of at least 2.9. It is the first time in school history that 14 varsity sports registered a team GPA of 3.0 or higher.<\/p>\n
Individually, 26 student-athletes earned perfect 4.0 GPAs, while nearly 41 percent (133 of 327) earned a spot on the dean’s list by garnering at least a 3.50 GPA. And a record 70.9 percent of UT student-athletes achieved a 3.0 grade point average or better for spring semester, the 17th consecutive semester in which at least half of Rocket student-athletes earned a 3.0+ GPA.<\/p>\n
“The academic performance of our student-athletes has been truly outstanding in recent years, but this past semester’s in grade point average represents a new level of achievement in the classroom,” UT Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O’Brien said. “When you consider that seven out every 10 Rocket student-athletes earned a 3.0 GPA last semester, and four out of 10 earned a 3.5, well, I think that is just remarkable. <\/p>\n
“I think it also says a lot that all of our teams are excelling academically. This isn’t a situation where some sports are doing well and others are just getting by. We are excelling across the board. I think everyone who is associated with The University of Toledo \u2014 whether you’re an employee, an alumnus or a community supporter \u2014 should be proud of the achievement of these young women and men. <\/p>\n
\u201cAs always, I also want to commend our student-athletes, as well as the coaches, athletic department academic staff and University faculty members whose dedication plays a big role in their success,” he said.<\/p>\n
Women’s volleyball had the highest team GPA for the second consecutive semester at 3.641, just beating out women’s soccer at 3.622. <\/p>\n
Men’s tennis had the highest GPA for a men’s team with 3.446<\/p>\n
