How graduation rates are calculated: The group
of first-time full-time freshmen who matriculate at Ithaca College in a
given fall semester is defined as a cohort. No new students, such as incoming
transfer students, may be added to the cohort (beginning with the 1991
cohort, adjustments to the cohort are permitted in the case of death; permanent
disability; or joining the armed forces, foreign service, or a church mission).
Each cohort is monitored for six years to determine the graduation rate
after 4, 5, and 6 years. Note that a number of the students who graduated
in five years can be considered as having graduated on time since they
were enrolled in extended degree programs including our 4.5 year Music
Performance/Music Education degree program or one of our 3-2 Chemistry
or Physics Engineering programs.
