Academic
Enhancement Center
 The
renovation of the Physical Activities Center creates additional space
for the improvement of academic facilities for student athletes. Currently, we do not have enough space to provide consistent study table
schedules, counseling and tutoring sessions, and connected learning
opportunities via computer and network access.
The academic
achievements of our student athletes continue to be remarkable. The most
recent cumulative grade point average report for our 450 student
athletes revealed a 3.18 average.
Our
student-athletes did extraordinarily well in the Graduation Success Rate
data recently released by the NCAA. UD ranked sixth out of more than 325 Division I institutions. The data was for the four classes
that entered between 1996 and 1999. The numbers represent the
percentages of student-athletes who graduated.
The highlights:
-
Football was
1st in the Pioneer Football League (96 percent).
-
Men's
Basketball is 1st in the Atlantic 10 (91 percent).
-
Men's Cross
Country, Women's Cross Country/Track and Field, Men's Tennis,
Women's Soccer were all 100 percent.
-
Most
impressively, UD's 94 percent rate placed us 21st out of
334 Division I institutions.
As we continue to
recruit a diverse pool of talented student athletes, we will need to
improve our academic facilities to keep pace with the specialized and
connected learning programs and provide strong academic support to
maintain strong results.
