1. Graduates from private non-subsidized institutions are not included.
2. For Quebec colleges, the number of certificates, diplomas and degrees granted is provisory.
3. Data for a few institutions are not included.
4. 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.
Notes: To ensure the confidentiality of responses, all counts are randomly rounded to a multiple of 3. Since the total and sub-totals are independently rounded, the total values may not match the sum of the individual values.
All counts reflect the number of graduates in the academic year, excluding students completing programs related to pre-employment, apprenticeship, basic training or skills upgrading, second language training, job readiness or orientation programs. Graduates for the academic year are shown by province of study.
Field of study data, previously coded as part of the Community College Student Information System (CCSIS), have been converted to PSIS using the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) 2000 categories.
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.
