Enter Cohort Year
In Student Master, the ability to add, edit or view the cohort year for a student is available.
- In Bulletin 111 (July 2016), the LDOE defines Cohort Year as `A cohort of students is all students who entered 9th grade for the first time in the state of Louisiana in a given academic year. Transitional 9th graders will enter automatically the first time 9th grade cohort in the year after enrolling in transitional 9th grade.`
On the left navigation panel, select Entry, then Student Master.

Q & A
Q - If a student graduates high school a year earlier than their original cohort, should their 9th grade entry year be changed so that their data can be included with the cohort they finished with or should nothing be changed and their data be included a year later with their original cohort? A - There will be no need to change the cohort year for early grads because the cohort year is only used when the student's graduation year is more than 4 years after the fall of the cohort year.
