Holy Family University ranked tied forth 15th out of 313 Division II institutions with an of Academic Success Rate (ASR) of 92 in the most recent cohort, which considered student-athletes who enrolled in the 2017. 
 
The accomplishment meant HFU was one of 44 institutions to receive 2024 NCAA Presidents' Award for Academic Excellence, which is bestowed upon Division II institutions that achieve an ASR of 90 percent or higher. 
 
Division II's ASR was designed to approximate a true student-centered measure of graduation rates from any four-year college within a six-year window. It includes student-athletes who transfer into a school and removes student-athletes who left the school in good academic standing. In addition, given the partial-scholarship financial aid model of Division II, the ASR data includes student-athletes not on athletically related financial aid.
 
That national average for the 2017 cohort was 77 percent. 
 
Four Holy Family teams – men's and women's basketball, women's lacrosse and volleyball – notably achieved a perfect ASR of 100. 
 
Additionally, women's soccer (ASR of 95), softball (94), men's soccer (91) and women's cross country and track & field (87) were all above the national average for their respective sports.
