Caveats:
1) New first-year students
2) Excludes transfers
3) Includes full- and part-time
4) Percentages go UP due to students from the original cohort being readmitted or returning from leave. Percentages go DOWN due to students taking leaves or withdrawing from the institution
5) Students who graduate are considered to have left the institution
