Key Concepts

The key concepts include the following:

The Student Cohort domain is a general-purpose structure for tracking and reporting on groups of students. A cohort can represent students participating in a program, students whose educational outcomes will be part of an analysis, or simply a list of students fitting a particular criteria of interest.
Cohorts may be associated with programs and may have staff associated with the cohort that is providing services, oversight, or sponsorship.
The Cohort entity should not be confused with the graduation year cohort, which is defined by enrollment and grade level data.
