Reading the Chart
The default setting for the charts (and the table below) is by Ethnicity and Gender. The sample below is an example of one pairing of dimensions; the data on your report will vary depending on which dimensions you select.
You can hover over the bars in charts to see the specific count associated with each bar.
The 2-Dimensional chart shows the percentage graduated versus percentage enrolled versus percentage not graduated & not enrolled for each cohort listed on the y-axis on the left for the two dimensions that you selected.
The legend on the right indicates what each color represents on the chart: green for percentage graduated in that cohort, blue for percentage enrolled & not graduated in that cohort, and red for percentage not graduated & not enrolled in that cohort.
The chart also provides markers at the 80% and 50%.
Reading the Tables
