NEWPORT NEWS, Va. – The University of Richmond Spiders had 77 student-athletes named to the Atlantic 10 Commissioner's Honor Roll last week, the league office announced.
The Atlantic 10 Conference equaled the second-highest average of student-athletes honor on its bi-annual Commissioner's Honor Roll, with 1,313 honorees, an average of 101 per institution for the 2013 fall semester.
To be listed on the Commissioner's Honor Roll, a student-athlete in an Atlantic 10-sponsored sport must have a 3.5 GPA or better (on a 4.0 scale) during the specified semester. Freshmen are eligible to receive the award.
Academics are a point of pride in the Atlantic 10. In addition to the Commissioner's Honor Roll, the league also ranks fifth among all conferences in the NCAA Graduation Success Rate (GSR) and fifth in the Academic Progress Rate (APR).
