This is the eighth year the men's basketball program has been recognized, including the last five years. Women's gymnastics is being honored for the sixth time. For men's swimming and diving it marks its fifth honor, including four straight. Men's tennis (fourth honor) and men's soccer (third honor) are also multiple time recipients. This is the first Public Recognition Award for the ice hockey program.

The most recent APRs are multiyear rates based on scores from the 2015-16, 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19 academic years. The APR measures eligibility, graduation and retention each semester or academic term and provides a clear picture of the ongoing academic performance for each team in every sport.
