Cohort A group of students who can be identified as starting their education at the same time. Contact Hours A measure of time that a student spends in a class or in contact with a faculty member such as in a lab.

First-Time in College (FTIC) First -Time in College (FTIC) students are students who enter the college having never attended college previously at this or any other institution. First-Time Transfer (FTT) First -Time Transfer (FTT) students are students entering the reporting institution for the first time but who are known to have previously attended another postsecondary institution at the undergraduate level. Full-Time (FT) Students who are enrolled in 12 or more credit hours of courses in a semester are classified as full-time. Part-Time (PT) Students who are enrolled in fewer than 12 semester credit hours of courses in a given semester are classified as part-time.
