ST. AUGUSTINE – For the 11^th consecutive year, Flagler College is one of 43 NCAA Division II member institutions to be honored as part of the Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence for achieving a four-year Academic Success Rate of 90 percent or higher. This is the 15^th year of the program.

Flagler had an ASR of 91 percent. Last year was the College's 11^th year in the 90^th percentile. Flagler is one of seven schools in the state of Florida to receive the Presidents' Award. Georgia College & State University is the only other Peach Belt Conference member institution to receive the award.

"The Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence highlights what makes Division II truly distinctive — our unwavering commitment to the full success of our student-athletes," said Colleen Perry Keith, president at Goldey-Beacom College and president of the Division II Executive Board." Achieving a 90 percent Academic Success Rate is an extraordinary accomplishment, and these 43 institutions exemplify the balance of academic achievement, competitive excellence and personal growth that defines Division II. I am especially proud of the sustained dedication shown by the schools that have earned this honor year after year. Their consistency reflects a deep, campus-wide commitment to ensuring that student-athletes are supported, challenged and prepared for life well beyond graduation."

The Division II ASR includes transfers into a school in the calculation and removes those who transferred out of the school while academically eligible. The ASR also includes over 30,000 non-scholarship student-athletes who were enrolled in the four years covered in the most recent data.
 
Even when using the less-inclusive federal graduation rate, student-athletes are outperforming their peers in the general student population by six percent. For Division II student-athletes, the federal rate is 58 percent, while the general student body federal rate is 53 percent.
