The UConn football team ranks fourth among American Athletic Conference programs with an Academic Progress Rate multiyear score of 975.

Navy leads the way at 991, UCF is next at 984 followed by Cincinnati at 976 and UConn.

This is the third year in a row that the APR number has improved as it went from 957 in the period ending with the 2012-13 season to 960 to 969 and now is at 975. That number is a program best topping the mark of 974 in 2004-05 which is the first year the numbers were tabulated by the NCAA as the organization tracks the student-athletes over a five-year period to determine which programs are having their players remaining in good academic standing en route to graduating.

UConn's APR for the 2015-16 season is 976, well above the average mark of 962.
