1. A few institutions do not have their data included for 2004/2005.
2. Data for Quebec colleges for years 2000/2001 to 2004/2005 are provisory.
3. Includes individuals for whom sex was not reported.
4. New field of study.
Notes: To ensure the confidentiality of responses, all counts are randomly rounded to a multiple of 3. Since the total and subtotals are independently rounded, the total value may not match the sum of the individual values.Graduates for the academic year are shown by province of study. The count excludes students completing programs related to pre-employment, apprenticeship, basic training or skills upgrading, second language training, job readiness or orientation programs.See Table D.2.3 notes for further information on the data. These data should not be directly compared with the data for colleges before 2000.
