GRAND FORKS, N.D. – University of North Dakota Director of Athletics Brian Faison announced today that UND's 479 student-athletes combined for a 3.215 grade-point average during the Fall 2015 semester.

It was the second-highest single-semester GPA in UND Athletics history and fell just shy of the school-record 3.277 GPA established in Fall 2014.

Nineteen of UND's 21 teams had a GPA of 3.0 or greater during the Fall 2015 semester. UND's women's teams combined for a 3.393 GPA while the men's teams recorded a 3.059 GPA.

“Our student-athletes continue to do an exceptional job in the classroom,” said Faison. “Between balancing training, competition, travel, the classroom, engaging in community service, and just being a student at UND, our student-athletes do it all with the great support of their coaches and our athletics academic support staff.”

Sixty-seven percent (321-479) of UND's student-athletes recorded a GPA of 3.0 or better during the Fall 2015 semester, including 73 individuals who earned a perfect 4.0. Additionally, 66 percent (315-479) of UND's student-athletes own a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, including 35 with a perfect 4.0 cumulative GPA.

In all, 71 percent (339-479) of UND's total student-athlete population landed on the Fall 2015 Athletics Director's Honor Roll for achieving either a fall semester or cumulative 3.0 grade-point average. Those student-athletes, along with 32 members of UND's cheer and dance teams, will be recognized at halftime of UND's Feb. 25 men's basketball game against Portland State.
