Arizona State's athletic overall Graduation Success Rate remains at a school record 88 percent.

GSR rates were announced Wednesday by the NCAA for athletes who enrolled in 2012, a six-year graduation period. The national overall GSR is a record 89 percent, up one percent from last year.

Seven ASU teams have a 100 percent GSR for that period -- men's basketball, women's basketball, gymnastics, women's swimming, softball, women's tennis and volleyball.

Women's basketball is at 100 percent for the first time and baseball achieved its high of 96. Football is at 75 percent and on the low end wrestling at 63 and men's golf 67.

"For the 11th-consecutive year, Sun Devil athletics has maintained or increased its GSR," ASU deputy athletic director Jean Boyd said. "The Office of Student-Athlete Development continues to be a catalyst for this great work, in partnership with our coaches, the campus community, and student-athletes."

ASU's overall GSR has risen 19 percent since the metric was introduced in 2005.

"Of special note is the achievement of our African American student-athletes," Boyd said. "We are third overall (in Pac-12) for African American student-athlete GSR (85 percent) and we are the best for African American women (100). Our comprehensive goal remains 90 percent or above at all times and we will remain relentless in these efforts."

Arizona's overall GSR is 86 percent. Football is at 76, men's basketball 83, women's basketball 85 and baseball 68. Sports at 100 percent are men's tennis, women's golf, women's gymnastics and softball.

Northern Arizona's overall GSR is 86 percent. Football is at 82, men's basketball 92 and women's basketball 83. Sports at 100 percent are women's swimming and women's tennis.

Grand Canyon's overall GSR is 80 percent. Men's basketball is at 70, women's basketball 75 and baseball 80. Sports at 100 percent are men's golf, men's tennis and softball.

GSR includes transfer athletes who graduate unlike the federal government graduation rate. It's designed to show the proportion of athletes on any given team who earn a college degree.
