The Academic Performance Rate (APR) is a ratio of the number of players eligible and enrolled in a program over a four year period. Each player on a given roster earns a maximum of two points per term, one for being academically eligible and one for staying with the institution. A team's APR is the total points of a team's roster at a given time divided by the total points.
The NCAA Division I average for men's basketball is 968. Georgetown's four year APR for men's basketball was 917; its single-year (2020-21) score was 860.
"Teams that scored below the [930] benchmark would have to face penalties that encourage an emphasis and prioritization on academics," noted an NCAA release. "However, due to the current penalty suspension in place, teams will not be subjected to penalties this year." The penalties are expected to return in 2023, which can range from a reduction of scholarships to a ban on post-season competition.
The men's basketball totals on a per year basis are as follows:
- 2016-17: 933
- 2017-18: 927
- 2018-19: 935
- 2020-21: 860
