The 2022-23 school year was once again stellar with academic performance for OCU student-athletes. The cumulative GPA for all student-athletes for 2022-23 was 3.317, marking the 21^st consecutive academic year of at least a 3.0 or higher cumulative GPA for the group.
    
The fall 2022 semester overall student-athlete GPA was 3.329, and only one team had below a 3.0 team GPA. In that semester:

• 248 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA (placing them on the Athletics Director's List for the semester),
• 214 student-athletes earned at least a 3.25 or higher,
• 167 student-athletes earned at least a 3.50 or higher,
• 116 student-athletes earned at least a 3.75 or higher, and
• 41 student-athletes achieved a perfect 4.00 GPA.

Spring 2023 semester results were very similar as the overall student-athlete GPA was 3.249 and in that semester:

• 215 student-athletes earned at least a 3.0 GPA or higher (Athletics Director's List); 
• 181 student-athletes earned at least a 3.25 or higher,
• 136 student-athletes earned at least a 3.50 or higher,
• 90 student-athletes earned at least a 3.75 or higher, and
• 29 student-athletes achieved a perfect 4.00 GPA.

    OCU student-athletes once again proved that they are more than champions in the classroom as 46 percent of spring 2023 graduates completed their coursework with honors (cum laude, magna cum laude or summa cum laude).
   
    "I am very proud of the academic performance of our student-athletes," said OCU Athletics Director Corey Bray.  "This level of academic achievement is a testament to our coaches recruiting prospective student-athletes who are prepared for the rigor of an OCU education, the dedication of our faculty to provide the best educational experience to OCU students and, of course, it is due to the importance our student-athletes place on receiving a quality education resulting in hard work and dedication in the classroom.  OCU student-athletes are more than champions in the classroom!"
