When colleges publish breakdowns of freshman through senior class they are using total hours completed which includes any AP/IB credits; in other words if senior class status is those with 135+ quarter hours then any with that total completed including AP/IB credit is deemed a senior. Having a much larger senior class is very common at universities as many do not graduate in four years and that is particlarly true of schools that have a large engineering class for which coops are very common (where the student works a couple of quarters or more while in college and thus necessarliy graduates late) and the total hours needed to graduate are more than other majors and many just take longer to complete as a result.
