Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training

May 2021 Data Submission Date: July 1, 2021 Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Training Introduction to the Post-Secondary Central Data Warehouse, May 2021 ______

The Post-Secondary Central Data Warehouse reflects student-level data submitted by 21 of BC's public post-secondary institutions, including colleges, institutes and seven universities. University of British Columbia, University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University and University of Northern British Columbia are not included in these reports.

The following 5 institutions were granted university status as of September 1, 2008, and their names changed at that time: -Capilano College became Capilano University -Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design became Emily Carr University of Art and Design -Kwantlen University College became Kwantlen Polytechnic University -Malaspina University-College became Vancouver Island University -University College of the Fraser Valley became University of the Fraser Valley.

Quality Control Since June 2002, a data quality management plan has been in place to measure and improve the overall quality of data in the Central Data Warehouse. This plan was revised in 2013. The ministry acknowledges the effort and co-operation of the public post-secondary institutions for ongoing improvement in the quality of post-secondary enrolment and credential data.

Time Periods The standard reports present information for the following time periods: Academic Year: September 1 to August 31. Fiscal Year: April 1 to March 31. Calendar Year: January 1 to December 31 (used in Credentials reporting only at this time). November 1st: A count of all students enrolled as of November 1st each year.

A student headcount at Nov. 1 reports the number of students at a single point in time, whereas the other time periods report the number of students over an entire year. As a result, institutions that offer more frequent short-term courses (e.g. the Justice Institute of British Columbia) will have a low headcount as at Nov. 1 and much higher numbers over a year.

Offshore Students Some BC institutions deliver programs in other countries. Non-Canadians with no visa status studying outside Canada at offshore campuses or via the Internet are not included in headcount or credential reports.

Unique Headcount In any given year, some students attend more than one institution. Since these students are included in the headcount of each institution they attend, the sum of all institutions' headcounts will include some students more than once, producing an over-stated total headcount. In the unique headcount, students who are identified as attending more than one institution are only counted once. This number represents the number of students served by the participating institutions as a whole.

Masking Each number or total greater than 0 but less than five has been masked with an *; all other numbers have been rounded to the nearest 10; all values of 0 are represented by blank cells. The effects of rounding may result in totals in different reports not matching exactly when they would be expected to match.
