0 true zero or a value rounded to zero
1. The data for 2003/2004 and 2004/2005, previously drawn from the Survey of Colleges and Institutes (SCI), have been replaced by those of the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS).
2. Includes college postsecondary programs, college post-diploma programs; collaborative degree programs; university transfer programs from a college or CEGEP (includes associate degree); and college preliminary year courses.
3. Includes programs leading to a bachelor's degree, an applied degree, a university preliminary year or pre-bachelor, or to an undergraduate-level certificate or diploma.
4. Includes programs leading to a master's degree or other university graduate-level certificates or diplomas.
5. For Quebec colleges, the number of certificates, diplomas and degrees granted is provisory.
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 values may not match the sum of the individual values. Similarly, percentage distributions, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%.
All counts reflect the number of graduates in the academic year.
The reporting period is the academic year as defined by the college, which begins on the first day after the end of the winter semester.
The college completion figures for both sexes include individuals for whom sex was not reported; therefore, these figures may not match the totals obtained when the completions for males and females are added together.
These figures reflect certificates, diplomas and degrees granted by colleges, not universities. Please see Table D.2.3 for the number of certificates, diplomas and degrees granted by universities.
All PSIS data are subject to revision.
For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
