The NCAA has announced Division I Academic Progress Rate (APR) information for institutions across the country. Wichita State University saw one program honored for earning a multi-year Academic Progress Rate in the top 10 percent of all squads in their sport, which was volleyball.
 
Wichita State University saw seven programs earn a perfect score of 1000 for the 2022-23 academic year – men's cross country, men's golf, men's tennis, men's track and field, softball, women's tennis, and volleyball.
 
The APR provides a real-time look at a team's success each semester by tracking the academic progress of each student-athlete on scholarship. The APR accounts for eligibility, retention and graduation and provides a measure of each team's academic performance. The most recent multi-year APRs are based on scores from the 2019-20, 2020-21, 2021-22 and 2022-23 academic years.
 
The only student-athletes who figure into a team and institution's APR are those receiving athletic financial aid. An undergraduate student-athlete receiving athletic financial aid has the opportunity to earn two points each semester – an eligibility point and a retention point. Thus, an undergraduate student-athlete has the opportunity to earn up to four points each academic year for their team and institution. A graduate student-athlete receiving athletic financial aid has the opportunity to earn one point each semester – the eligibility point signifying the student-athlete earned six credit hours for that semester. A graduate student has the opportunity to earn up to two points each academic year for their team.
 
The four-year APR scores for all of WSU's 13 sports programs registered a 957 or above to be in good standing established by the NCAA's standards. A program is in good standing if it registers a multi-year rate of 930 or above. A team must achieve a 930 four-year rate in order to be eligible for competition in NCAA post-season play.
 
The following teams were above the national average in their sport regarding the four-year APR rates – baseball, men's golf, men's cross country, men's track and field, volleyball and softball.
