The University of Hawaii athletic department said it has achieved a school record for its Graduation Success Rate, hitting the 88-percent mark.
The GSR is an NCAA metric for graduation rates introduced in 2002. The current period measures athletes who enrolled during the 2012-13 academic year and graduated within six years.
UH’s previous best, 85 percent, was set last year.
Five of UH’s 21 teams — water polo, women’s tennis, women’s golf, cross country-track and field and men’s tennis — achieved perfect scores while seven teams topped the national average for their sports, UH said.
The GSR formula does not include athletes who left school while academically eligible.
