Each academic year, every Division I sports team calculates its APR using a simple and consistent formula. Each term, scholarship student-athletes can earn one point for remaining eligible and one point for staying in school or graduating. Every student-athlete's score is added up and divided by the maximum number of points attainable to come up with a team total and APR.
