One of them was from a student who really had totransfer universities and deal with the baseline economics of going to school and trying to raise herself up.
The GSR measures the percentage of first-time, full-time freshman who graduate within six years of entering their original four-year institution, with modifications to account for (1) student-athletes who transfer from an institution before graduating who are in good academic standing and (2) student-athletes who transfer into an institution (e.g. from a community college or another 4-year college) and earn a degree.
The year-in-residence is required to help student-athletes adjust to their new school and ensure that their transfer was motivated by academics as well as athletics.
