Universities: Enrollment & Degrees

Question

Is the following available through DLI? I can't find record of it anywhere on the StatCan site, and our Library Catalogue indicates the print publication ended in 1991.

Catalogue No. 81-204, Universities: Enrollment and Degrees -- Table 12: Enrolment by Level, Home Province of Canadians and Permanent Residents, Province of Study, Registration Status and Sex, for the most current two years.

Answer

I believe that the information you are looking for is not available via the DLI but from STC Centre for Education Statistics directly. In July I sent out the message below that I had received from them about their latest release on university enrolments. I have also included the link to the Daily that they mentioned in this news release. If the product they mention that is available to download does not meet your needs then you should contact the division directly.

UNIVERSITY ENROLMENTS, 2001-2002

Data on university enrolments will be released on Friday, July 30, 2004 in the Statistics Canada Daily.
http://www.statcan.ca/Daily/English/040730/d040730b.htm

The Daily can be downloaded at no charge from the Statistics Canada website.

The following variables will be available:

* Province of study*
* Institution of study
* Gender
* Age
* Mother tongue
* Province or state of permanent address
* Immigration status of student
* Country of citizenship
* Student registration status*
* Field of study (Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP))*
* Program level*

Data for variables marked with an asterisk (*) above will be available in the CANSIM table 477-0011.

To preserve confidentiality, the available data will be rounded to the nearest five (5) and figures below five (5) will be identified as
confidential.

University enrolment data for 2001-2002 are obtained using information from the Enhanced Student Information System and the University Student Information System.

Preliminary data on university enrolment for 1999-2000 and 2000-2001 were previously released in The Daily on March 31 and April 17, 2003. This release provides the final data for the same periods.

Data on Field of Study are coded according to the new Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP). Before the ESIS was implemented, the Postsecondary Education and Adult Learning Section of the Centre for Education Statistics (CES) used the University Student Information System (USIS) for fields of study at the university level. USIS-to-CIP and CIP-to-USIS conversion tables are available on request.

Data on education levels, citizenship and immigration status were coded using the new classifications in the Enhanced Student Information System (ESIS). Conversion tables are also available for these variables.

For the purposes of the release, a foreign student is defined as a non-Canadian student who does not have "permanent resident" status and has had to obtain the authorization of the Canadian government to enter Canada with the intention of pursuing an education.

Historical data on enrolments for 1992-1993 to 2001-2002 were converted using ESIS variable definitions and code sets, so as to maintain the historical continuity of the statistical series.
