Overall AUS Retention & Graduation Information for New Undergraduate Students (Cohorts Fall 2004 - Fall 2015)

Retention and Graduation for AUS is based on whether students are consecutively retained or graduate at AUS If the student is not consecutively enrolled from year to year, they are considered as non-retainded students.

1 Retention:  Calculated each year by the number of the ORIGINAL cohort number that are consecutively retained at AUS divided by the original cohort number (so it is essentially cumulative).

2 Graduation:  Calculated each year by taking the number of graduating students (from the original cohort) in a particular year and adding it to the previous year's number of graduating students and then divided by the ORIGINAL cohort number.
