Academically, Stanislaus State student-athletes have continued to excel in the classrooms. Despite the cancelation of spring sports during the pandemic, Warrior Athletics students have elevated their overall grade point averages, collectively.
 
"Once again, I am amazed by the hard work and dedication of our student-athletes with support of our coaches and staff.  We aim for a championship experience.  Win in the community.  Win in competition and win in the classroom," said Terry Donovan, Director of Athletics. "While we had tremendous accomplishments in competition, our student-athletes also clearly won in the classroom during the 19-20 academic year."    
 
Of the 13 athletics teams — women's indoor and outdoor track and field teams are grouped as one — the following accolades were accomplished during the 2019-20 academic year:

• Eight teams posted their highest team grade-point-average since we began tracking the data in 2015: Baseball, Men's Golf, Men's Soccer, Men's Cross Country, Men's Track & Field, Women's Basketball, Volleyball and Women's Cross Country.
• 11 teams posted a team GPA of 3.0 or better: Baseball, Men's Golf, Men's Cross Country, Men's Track & Field, Women's Basketball, Softball, Women's Soccer, Women's Tennis, Volleyball, Women's Cross Country and Women's Track & Field.
• Collectively, student-athletes posted a 3.215 GPA, the highest according to our records.
• The Warriors posted a 3.345 GPA for the spring 2020 term, when most the semester was completed by remote learning. It is the highest GPA recorded for a single semester.

"Many of our students had to work longer hours, move home, take care of family members along with learning a new method of instruction in the middle of the semester. I am so proud of the hard work and effort our student-athletes put into finishing this semester stronger than ever," said Alissa Aragon, Assistant Athletics Director for Student-Athlete Development. "Through the canceling of competition to the suspension of the fall season our students persevered and kept their eyes on the ultimate goal of graduation."
 
Additionally, the graduation rate for student-athletes (for cohort year 2013-14) is 63 percent, which is higher than the general campus population (59 percent). The athletic academic success rate — student-athletes graduating within six years of initial enrollment — is 74 percent, up from 71 percent the previous year.
