UD student-athletes post a collective 3.315 GPA for the fall 2025 semester
University of Delaware student-athletes continue to shine in the classroom with a 3.315 grade point average (GPA) for the fall 2025 semester, marking the 24th consecutive semester logging a 3.0 GPA or better and seventh straight at 3.2 or better, the department announced Tuesday.
“Our student-athletes’ commitment to their academics is exemplary, and their collective GPA is an incredible achievement,” Interim Director of Athletics, Community and Campus Recreation Jordan Skolnick said. “This is not only a testament to our student-athletes' dedication, but also our faculty, coaches and support staff for their continued support and guidance.”
Overall, 20 programs achieved a 3.0 GPA or higher for the semester. Women's golf (3.80) and men's golf (3.61) led their respective genders for the fall term. They were joined by track and field, cross country, men's soccer and women's lacrosse with at least a 3.5 this fall.
“Congratulations to the student-athletes for truly embracing the student-athlete experience,” University of Delaware Faculty Athletics Representative Matt Robinson said. “Committing themselves to excellence in both the classroom and in competition is a recipe for success now and in their lives and careers after graduation.”
In total, 235 student-athletes landed on the dean's list, accounting for 40% of the total student-athlete cohort. Sixty student-athletes posted a perfect 4.0 semester GPA.
The spirit program, composed of dance, cheer and mascot, surpassed a 3.0 GPA as well. Dance led the cohort with a 3.23 this fall.
