Long Beach State continues to excel in this metric, and recorded a score of 84 as announced by the NCAA Wednesday.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe GSR tracks student-athletes for six years after entering college, and does not penalize a school for a student who transfers while in good academic standing. This is especially important for a school like Long Beach State, which saw a 25 percent difference between the Graduation Success Rate and the Federal Graduation Rate within athletics as transfers become more common within collegiate athletics.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nOverall, Long Beach Sate had a score of 84, indicating that 84% of all student-athletes who enrolled at the institution over the last six years either graduated or made the appropriate progress towards graduation while they were at Long Beach State.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe Division I Board of Directors created the GSR in response to Division I college and university presidents who wanted data that more accurately reflected the mobility of college students than the federal graduation rate. The federal rate counts any student who leaves a school as an academic failure, no matter whether he or she enrolls at another school. Also, the federal rate does not recognize students who enter school as transfer students.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe GSR formula 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. This calculation makes it a more complete and accurate look at student-athlete success.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nThe rate also allows for a deeper understanding of graduation success in individual sports than the federal metric, which provides only broad groupings.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\nMen&#8217;s Golf, Women&#8217;s Golf and Women&#8217;s Volleyball all had perfect scores of 100, recognizing that every student over that six-year period either graduated or left the institution in good academic standing. The Beach had seven programs that had a graduation success rate higher than 90.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONG BEACH, Calif. \u2013 The NCAA announced Graduation Success Rate (GSR) information for the cohort lasting six years&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":41539,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[131,133,132],"class_list":["post-60780","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-long-beach","tag-long-beach","tag-long-beach-headlines","tag-long-beach-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60780","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=60780"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/60780\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41539"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=60780"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=60780"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=60780"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
