0 true zero or a value rounded to zero p preliminary r revised 1. The figures for "Male" and "Female" may not add to the total for "Both sexes" because "Both sexes" includes individuals for whom sex was not reported. 2. Includes: college or CEGEP 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. College institutions from Newfoundland and Labrador have not reported their graduates to the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) since 2005/2006; PSIS has used the 2005/2006 data as estimates for subsequent years. 6. 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 the number of certificates, diplomas and degrees for British Columbia and for Canada in 2008/2009 was mainly due to the attribution of university status to these five colleges. Notes: These figures reflect certificates, diplomas and degrees granted by colleges (please see Table D.2.3, published December 13, 2010, for the number of certificates, diplomas and degrees granted by universities). Programs related to pre-employment, apprenticeship, basic training or skills upgrading, second language training, job readiness or orientation programs are not included. 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. Graduates from institutions that are not funded by provincial ministries of education are no longer included in the survey; this began in 2005/2006 for such institutions in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, and in 2006/2007 for those in Ontario and Alberta. The Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS) has revised "total graduates" 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. Similarly, percentage distributions, which are calculated on rounded data, may not necessarily add up to 100%. For a brief description of this indicator, including the methodology, please see the Handbook for the Pan-Canadian Education Indicators Program.
