That figure ranks second among the 12 schools in the Mid-American Conference, just 1% behind Miami University&#8217;s score of 93 percent.<\/p>\n<p>Seven Rocket teams scored a perfect 100 GSR: men&#8217;s golf, men&#8217;s tennis, men&#8217;s cross country, women&#8217;s basketball, women&#8217;s soccer, women&#8217;s tennis and women&#8217;s volleyball. Twelve teams earned a 90 GSR or higher, and every Toledo team ranked in the top half of the MAC.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/?attachment_id=57034\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-57034\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/GSR-image.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"504\" height=\"325\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-57034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/GSR-image.jpeg 504w, https:\/\/news.utoledo.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/GSR-image-300x193.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 504px) 100vw, 504px\" \/><\/a>&#8220;These latest GSR figures confirm something that we already knew: Our student-athletes are graduating in very high numbers,&#8221; said UToledo Vice President and Athletic Director Mike O&#8217;Brien. &#8220;A record 77 Rocket student-athletes received their diplomas at commencement last spring, which was a very gratifying accomplishment. There is no prouder moment for student-athletes, as well as their families and all who have supported them on their journey, than when they walk across that stage and receive their diploma.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>GSR is a gauge of every team&#8217;s graduation rate within a six-year period of a student-athlete&#8217;s enrollment. The latest GSR figures examined the student-athlete cohort that originally enrolled in 2012 and would need to have graduated by August 2018 to count as a graduate. <\/p>\n<p>The GSR formula, intended to be a more complete and accurate look at student-athlete success, removes from the rate student-athletes who leave school while academically eligible and includes student-athletes who transfer to a school after initially enrolling elsewhere. The GSR also allows for a deeper understanding of graduation success in individual sports than the federal metric, which has broader groupings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>University of Toledo Graduation Success Rate<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Sport \u2014 GSR<\/strong><br \/>\nBaseball \u2014 94<br \/>\nMen&#8217;s Basketball \u2014  90<br \/>\nMen&#8217;s Cross Country \u2014 100<br \/>\nFootball \u2014 83<br \/>\nMen&#8217;s Golf \u2014 100<br \/>\nMen&#8217;s Tennis \u2014 100<br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s Basketball \u2014 100<br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s Cross Country\/Track &#038; Field \u2014 97<br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s Golf \u2014 90<br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s Soccer \u2014 100<br \/>\nSoftball \u2014 88<br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s Swimming &#038; Diving \u2014 92<br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s Tennis \u2014 100<br \/>\nWomen&#8217;s Volleyball \u2014 100<\/p>\n<p><strong>Overall Department GSR &#8211; 92<\/strong><br \/>\n<em>Six-year data for academic cohort that enrolled in 2012 through August 2018<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UToledo student-athletes posted a 92% Graduation Success Rate, according to the NCAA.
