Academic level and Cohort are linked together in the Cohort setup. Academic level is the year level or equivalent for your school. Cohort is based on the year of graduation from your school. Students usually remain in the same Cohort while attending your school. Cohort and associated Academic level are linked as shown below in the Cohorts. These linkings may be quite different from one school to another depending on the courses and year levels offered.
