Examples of Cohort Types include:

  • First-time students (First-Time Freshman, First-Time Grad, First-Time Credential, and First-Time Postbacc)
  • Lower Division Transfers
  • Upper Division Transfers

In enrollment reports, continuing students in a given term will appear as "-" for Cohort Type.

In Retention and Graduation reports, Cohort Type is necessary for classifying the entering cohort of students at matriculation.
