0 true zero or a value rounded to zero
1. "College" refers to community colleges, CEGEPs (collège d'enseignement général et professionnel or college of general and vocational education in Quebec), technical institutes, hospital and regional schools of nursing, radiography, medical technology and health records as well as establishments providing technological training in specialized fields. The counts represent the number of students who were enrolled in an educational activity on October 31st and thus present a snapshot of enrolments on that day.
2. The figures for "Male" and "Female" may not add to the total for "Both sexes" because "Both sexes" includes enrolments for which sex was not reported.
3. Includes the category "Other program levels," which is not presented in this table. "Other program levels" includes "program levels not applicable" or "non-programs" (taking non-credit courses or taking courses without seeking a credential). The totals exclude students enrolled in programs related to pre-employment, apprenticeship, basic training or skills upgrading, second language training, job readiness or orientation programs.
4. The following institutions, previously colleges, were granted university status as of September 1, 2008, and are excluded from the 2008/2009 counts for British Columbia: Capilano College, Malaspina University College, Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, Kwantlen University College, University College of the Fraser Valley. The decrease in enrolment for British Columbia and for Canada in 2008/2009 was mainly due to the attribution of university status to these five colleges.
5. Includes college or CEGEP postsecondary programs; college post-diploma programs; collaborative degree programs; university transfer programs from a college or CEGEP (includes associate degrees); and college preliminary year courses.
6. 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.
7. Includes programs leading to a master's degree or other university-graduate level certificates or diplomas.
Notes: From year to year, more institutions are reporting data using the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) format, replacing the previous Community College Student Information System (CCSIS) format. The institutions that report data using the PSIS format are asked to include students enrolled in non-programs, including non-credit activities, as well as undergraduate- and graduate-level enrolments. In general, this has resulted in institutions reporting a larger number of student enrolments. Starting in 2000/2001, enrolments from private non-subsidized institutions that were part of the PSIS survey were no longer included.
These figures on college enrolment should not be compared with those published before PSIS was introduced in 2000.
Enrolments from institutions that are not funded by provincial ministries of education are no longer included in the survey; this began in 2006/2007 for such institutions in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and in 2008/2009 for those in Nova Scotia, Ontario and Alberta.
Data for the following institutions are not included in the released data: for 2000/2001 to 2008/2009, Justice Institute of British Columbia (British Columbia); for 2001/2002, Ontario Schools of Radiation Therapy (Ontario).
The increase in enrolments for Saskatchewan mainly reflects a change in PSIS reporting between 2003/2004 and 2008/2009 that reflects the inclusion of regional colleges.
PSIS has revised enrolments for 1999/2000 to 2006/2007. All PSIS data are subject to revision.
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.
For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
