Thanks for highlighting the NCAA publicly available data in your blog! Lordfoul is right – the delayed graduation points, which are not found in the public-use data files, are why the APR is sometimes higher than what you get from just the individual retention and eligibility rates. The APR data is only the first dataset to be released. More data will become available later this year. Below is a link to a couple of quick video tutorials that do a great job orienting you to the online analysis system, so you will have better luck with it next time. And, please feel free to email or call us for assistance.
