University Enrolments

Question

I have a researcher looking for the most recent university enrolment statistics- by province as well as by institution. Is this available through the DLI?

Answer

We have university enrolment figures by province in the DLI collection through the Postsecondary Student Information System (PSIS). You can download the latest figures from our website (http://www.statcan.gc.ca/dli-ild/data-donnees/ftp/psis-siep-eng.htm) or through the FTP site. Tables 7 to 12 are for universities. When you open the Excel files, use the tabs at the bottom of the sheets to view all of the data. University enrolment data by institution would be available for a fee as a custom request. If this is of interest to your client, please let me know and I will be happy to refer you to an Account-Executive who can help you define the custom tables' specifications and give you an official quote. You may also wish to have a look at the publications that are available on the Canadian Association of University Teachers (http://www.caut.ca/) website under Publications and research. They may have enrolments by university in their publications.
