Most sources refer to Cole as an admiral following the Battle of Harvest (''The Fall of Reach'', ''First Strike'', ''The Cole Protocol'', ''Halo Wars: Genesis'', ''Halo Wars'', ''Halo 3: ODST'', ''Halo Encyclopedia'', ''Dr. Halsey's personal journal'').

Much like how Lieutenant Commander can be referred to as "commander" in urgent situations. They might've not felt like making the distinction between full admiral, vice admiral, or rear admiral.
