HONOLULU – University of Hawai’i at Mānoa Athletics posted a new record all-sport single-year mark of 987 in the Academic Performance Rate (APR) for the academic year 2023-24 in figures released by the NCAA Tuesday. The score is an average of all UH sports and based out of 1,000.
Among the highlights included 10 teams posting perfect single-year scores – a jump from four last year – and the most since the 2018-19 reporting year, when 11 teams posted 1,000. In addition, women’s basketball and men’s swim and dive posted their program’s highest multi-year scores of 995 and 996, respectively.
Furthermore, six teams recorded multi-year scores above their sports’ national average – men’s swim and dive, men’s tennis (990), women’s basketball, softball (990), women’s soccer (992), and women’s volleyball (995).
UH’s all-sport score of 987 surpassed the previous all-time high of 986 set in 2019-20.
The APR is calculated based on the number of student-athletes on scholarship and those who are retained and remain eligible for competition. The multi-year rate includes single-year scores from the past four academic years (2020-21, 2021-22, 2022-23, and 2023-24).
Teams with a four-year score below 930 or a 950 average over the most recent two years, can be penalized by a loss of scholarships and post-season ban. For the 17th consecutive year, no UH team will be penalized with loss of scholarship.

The NCAA Committee on Academic Performance instituted the APR data requirements beginning in the 2003-04 academic year. The benchmark of 930 projects to an NCAA Graduation Success Rate of approximately 50 percent. The overall goal of measuring APRs is to encourage improved academic performance and help institutional administrators examine admission policies, retention and graduation rates, and improve academic support for student-athletes. Only student-athletes on scholarship are factored into the APR scores.
UH fields 21 intercollegiate sports programs, however, the NCAA’s APR only includes 18 as indoor and outdoor track and field are counted as one score and coed and women’s sailing are non-NCAA sports.
More information about the APR is available on the NCAA website (www.ncaa.org).
