| Classification_Credit |
Total number of Registered_Credits for ungraded courses, Earned_Credits
and Transfer_Credits for all prior terms for this academic program. The
data for this data element is generated by the system (SRS), and is used
in the calculation of classification for undergraduates. For example: a
student may have 18.0 Registered_Credits.
See also Classification in the CEN_STDT_ACADEMIC_PROGRAM Table.
|
| Classification |
The student's classification in this program; for example, FR means Freshman.
For undergraduates, classification is system-maintained, based on accumulation
of earned credit; for graduate and professional students, it is maintained
by the student's division.

| Cohort_Group |
The Cohort flag provides a way (in addition to classification) for divisions
to group students within an academic program.
Note that there is no standard definition for the use of any cohort
value: the schools and divisions use this data element internally, and
each has their own definition of what it means to them.
