Holy Family Tied for 21st in Division II’s ASR for Most Recent Cohort

Holy Family University ranked in a tie for 21st in the NCAA Division II Academic Success Rate (ASR) for the most recent cohort, which considered student-athletes who entered college from 2012 through 2015.

The ASR is the percentage of student-athletes who graduate within six years of initial college enrollment and includes virtually all Division II student-athletes, including transfers and those not receiving athletics scholarships.

The Division II ASR also captures about 50 percent more college athletes than Division I's Federal Graduation Rate (FGR). Unlike the FGR, the ASR also counts student-athletes who transfer to a school after initial enrollment elsewhere and removes the student-athletes who leave school while academically eligible.

Holy Family's ASR was 92 percent, compared to the national average of 76. 

In addition to tying for 21st in Division II, Holy Family ranked third amongst the 22 DII institutions in Pennsylvania and fourth in the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC). 

Holy Family had three teams – women’s basketball, women’s soccer, and women’s volleyball – achieve a perfect ASR. 

Meanwhile, men’s soccer (96 ASR), women’s lacrosse (94), softball (94), men’s basketball (83) and women’s cross country/track & field (77) were all higher than the national averages for their respective sport.
