Cohort Revision
Cohort revision
Number of first-time, full-time undergraduate degree/certificate-seeking students reported Column 1 of the 2005 IPEDS
Enrollment survey. These students make up the Initial Cohort.
Institutions are permitted to make revisions to the initial cohort. The revisions can be either:
1.
2.

An actual change in the number of students in the cohort due to cohort-eligible students that were previously
omitted from the initial cohort
A reclassification of students within gender or racial/ethnic categories with no actual change in the cohort total

No revisions should be made for anyone who dropped out, transferred to another institution, or became a part-time
student.
Does your institution have any revisions to make to your preloaded Initial Cohort?
Yes
No

Section III - Graduation rates
Based on your institution's response to the predominant calendar system question (B3) on the Institutional
Characteristics survey from the IPEDS Fall 2008 Data Collection, your institution must report graduation rates
data using a

Fall Cohort

A fall cohort is used by institutions with standard academic terms (semester, trimester, quarter, 4-1-4, other
academic). A full-year cohort is used by institutions offering primarily occupational/vocational programs and
operating on a continuous basis.
In the columns below, report the status of the Full-time, First-time students reported in the cohort in Col 10.
Those who completed their program within 150% of normal time as of August 31, 2008 should be reported in Col 11.
Report transfers-out who did not complete a program in Col 30. If the mission of your institution includes providing
substantial preparation for students to enroll in another eligible institution WITHOUT having completed their programs,
you should report transfer-out data in column 30. A school is required to report only on those students that the school
knows have transferred to another school. A school must document that the student actually transferred. If it is not part
of your mission, you may report transfer-out data if you wish.

students who died or became permanently disabled
students who left school to serve in the armed forces (or have been called up to active duty)
students who left school to serve with a foreign aid service of the Federal Government
students who left school to serve on an official church mission
l Col 49 [non-completers (still enrolled + not enrolled) and completers > 150% of normal time] will be calculated for
you
