Graduation Success Rate Question. • What do I do with a student-athlete who is still enrolled after six years? • Student-athlete is considered a "nongraduate" and counts against the institution. • Student-athlete is NOT reported as "eligible to compete."
Graduation Success Rate Question. • How do I handle a student-athlete who exhausts athletics eligibility and then transfers? • The student-athlete is NOT reported as "eligible to compete." • The student-athlete will count against your institution as a nongraduate.
Graduation Success Rate Question. • What do I do if I have a student-athlete in the wrong GSR cohort or I left a student-athlete out of the APR cohort we are currently reporting on for GSR? • Data corrections will only be permitted if it affects the current year's data collection cohort (i.e., 2003-04). • Contact Maria DeJulio and documentation may be required. • Please review all cohorts this fall and submit corrections during APR corrections phase.

NCAA Division I Academic Performance Program
Academic Performance Program • APP data submission. • APC. • Provides data about academic profiles and progress of student-athletes. • Head coaches' information. • Two-year college transfer data. • APR. • Term-by-term assessment. • Points awarded for eligibility/graduation and retention. • Includes all student-athletes who meet cohort definition.
APP Data Collection Process • APP data collection. • APP submission deadline: six weeks (42 calendar days) following the first day of classes for each institution. • Username and password will be sent in May to the top five at each institution. • Data collection system will be live middle of May. • Web site: https://web1.ncaa.org/APP.
Academic Progress Rate • Track/cross country APR cohorts. • Cross country and indoor and outdoor track and field teams each have a separate APR. • The APR for each sport is comprised of student-athletes who receive athletics aid in either cross country, indoor or outdoor track and field and are on each respective team's roster as of the first date of competition of the championship segment. • For institutions that do not offer athletics aid, the APR for each sport is comprised of recruited student-athletes who are on the team's roster as of the first date of competition of the championship segment.
Academic Progress Rate Question. • I have a track student-athlete (not on cross country roster) on athletics aid in the fall semester who withdraws from the institution at the end of the fall semester, and the first competition for indoor track does not take place until after the start of the spring semester, what cohort would he be included in for the fall? • None.
Academic Progress Rate • Track/cross country APR cohorts. • Individual student-athletes in these sports count only once in determination of APP financial aid penalties. • Indicate "received aid" as "yes" for each sport in the student detail module. • Use squad APR report to ensure correct cohort prior to submission.
APP Data Collection Process • Data collection issues. • Track and cross-country cohorts. • Loss of E point after ten semesters/15 quarters of actual full-time enrollment. • Eligibility extensions and additional seasons of competition. • Calendar versus business days. 5. Pregnancy.

APP Data Collection Timeline Data Submission Phase (due six weeks after first day of classes) Verification Phase (NCAA staff) Correction Phase (14 calendar days) APR Adjustment Phase (14 calendar days to submit) Penalty Waiver Phase (14 to 21 calendar days to submit) Final Submit (e-mail sent to chancellor or president)
APP Data Collection Process • Submission phase. • Institution submits data using the APP Data Collection Program system six weeks (42 calendar days) after the institution's first day of classes. • Data is considered "submitted" once the submitter receives on-screen confirmation that data has been successfully submitted. • Failure to submit data renders an institution and all student-athletes ineligible for postseason competition and championships. • Institution must submit data and request reinstatement.
APP Data Collection Process • Delayed-graduation point. • The criteria are as follows: 1. The former student-athlete graduates from your institution in any academic year that comprises the most recent four-year APR. 2. The former student-athlete was not included in the team's APR cohort in the term in which he or she graduated from your institution. 3. The former student-athlete lost the eligibility or retention point in his or her last term in the APR cohort or would have lost a point if the student-athlete departed prior to the implementation of the APR in 2003-04.
APP Data Collection Process • Delayed-graduation point. • Point (1/0) awarded in the term when the former student-athlete graduates. • Restores lost APR retention or eligibility point. • If the lost point was adjusted, no delayed-graduation point may be awarded. • Point received in the sport reported. • Institution permitted to request delayed-graduation points for any of the academic year cohorts that comprise the multiyear APR cohort.
APP Data Collection Process Question. • The APP data collection system is not finding a student-athlete so I can enter a delayed-graduation point. What do I do? • Check prior years in APP to determine if the student-athlete lost a point in last term in APR cohort. • Check adjustments to see if lost point was adjusted in a prior year. • If all else fails, call Maria.
APP Data Collection Process Question. • Does a student-athlete qualify for a delayed-graduation point if he or she graduates from a branch campus of our institution? • The former student-athlete must graduate from the institution where he or she lost the APR point(s) or from a state university-system institution or branch campus with the same federal identification number.
APP Data Collection Process • Verification phase. • NCAA staff verifies completeness and accuracy of data. • Review of institutional APR report. • Review of validation report. • Review of delayed-graduation point module. • Institution will be contacted to correct errors. • Once verified, institution is notified via e-mail and moved to correction phase. The correction phase begins once your data have been verified and an e-mail is sent to you, NOT the day after you submit your data.
APP Data Collection Process • Correction phase. • 14 calendar day period following verification phase to make corrections to data errors and to data from any academic year, including all prior cohorts. • All corrections to data will be confirmed via e-mail. • Once correction phase is completed, institution may view APR and penalty reports and then move to adjustment phase. • First official notification of penalties.
What is a Correction? • Change to data due to error, change to status due to incomplete/grade change, newly-discovered information. • Corrections may be requested for any cohort year. • Not required to submit documentation. • MUST be requested through the APP data collection and not through e-mail.
What is an Adjustment? • Request to discount a lost eligibility or retention point due to special circumstances or mitigation or student-athlete does not meet all criteria for automatic adjustments. • Must provide supporting documentation. • Requested through LSDBi waiver portal.
APP Data Collection Process • Data collection issues. • Track and cross-country cohorts. • Loss of eligibility point after ten semesters/15 quarters of actual full-time enrollment. • Eligibility extensions and additional seasons of competition. • Calendar versus business days. 5. Pregnancy.
APP Data Collection Updates • NCAA ID. • Required this year. • Field is in Compliance Assistance. • Ability to generate an ID. • Summer-bridge program. • Will need to indicate if student-athlete (including transfers) participated in summer bridge. • Any summer enrollment funded by athletics. • Will need to enter hours enrolled, hours passed and GPA.

APP Data Collection Updates • More automatic APR adjustments. • Medical-absence waivers. • Missed-term exception. (To be covered in adjustment section.) • Two-year college transfer data collection. • Separate tab. • Ability to save incomplete data. • More validations and reports.
APP Data Collection Updates • Head Coaches' APR Portfolio. • Submitted as part of APC data for the first time in the fall 2009 in six sports. • Institutions will need to submit and verify the names and dates of employment of head coaches starting with the 2003-04 academic years for remaining sports. • Most names will be prepopulated based on information submitted as part of the sports sponsorship data.
APP Data Collection Process • Adjustment phase. • 14 calendar day period following correction phase. • Adjustment requests made through LSDBi system; include all adjustments at one time. • Institution permitted to request adjustments for any of the academic year cohorts that comprise the multiyear APR cohort. • Institution moved to penalty waiver phase when all adjustment requests are finalized. • Institution is notified via e-mail of all decisions.
APP Data Collection Process • Adjustment phase. • Discount lost APR point(s) for a term or terms from the denominator. • Does not restore a lost point. • Guiding principle: • Based on circumstances surrounding individual student-athlete. • Are circumstances beyond the control of the student-athlete or team or institution?
"Adjustments" During Data Entry • Allowable exclusions (death or permanent disability, church mission, military service, foreign service, Olympics waiver, pregnancy). • 2.6 GPA transfer to another four-year institution. • Professional athletics departure. • Medical-absence waiver. • Missed-term exception.
