More than 220 UCF student-athletes earned recognition on the 2011-12 Conference USA Commissioner鈥檚 Academic Honor Roll.
UCF鈥檚 total ranked first among all Conference USA public institutions for the sixth-consecutive year.
Student-athletes named to the honor roll must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 3.0 or better. Student-athletes with a cumulative GPA of 3.75 or better also receive the C-USA Commissioner’s Academic Medal. Those recipients will be announced Wednesday.
Tuesday鈥檚 announcement marked the latest of many accomplishments for the Knights in the classroom.
UCF鈥檚 student-athletes have achieved an overall GPA of at least 3.0 for each of the last eight semesters.
In October, UCF posted a program-best 83 percent Graduation Success Rate, which tied with the 海角直播 of Florida for the top rating among Florida鈥檚 public universities.
The Knights also have enjoyed success on the field in 2011-12.
