NEWARK, Del. – 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.
