*Comments: Class of 2024, Manchester campus had no returning students at the start of the year, however, one returner student was offered a seat later in the year after an already matriculated student left the program. Therefore, the Manchester campus student numbers were not above the maximum size of 55. In calculating the attrition and graduation rate, entering class size of 56 was used.
*Attrition rate calculation: Number of students who attritted from cohort (decelerated + withdrawals + dismissals) divided by the (entering class size + number joining class cohort).
**Graduation rate calculation: Number of cohort graduates divided by the (entering class size + number joining class cohort).
