NOTES:	Percents are cumulative rather than annual percents.
	Each graduation year contains all recorded graduations of students in a given cohort during December, May, and August.
	Each cohort consists of all new full-time freshmen entering SIUC in the respective summer and continuing into fall or entering in that fall semester for the first time. On-campus only, degree-seeking students are included in each cohort.
	All 10th-day cohorts were tracked through Fall Semester 2007, and the status of the student is recorded before each fall semester following the fall semester as a new freshman: did the student graduate, is the student still persisting, or is the student a non-persister?
	Continued to 2nd Year, 3rd Year, etc. is defined as a student who returns for the Fall semester of that year.
