ACAT Student Mobility Reports: Step-by-Step GuideStudent Yearly Enrolment Tracking1ACAT Student Mobility Reports:Student Yearly Enrolment Tracking2Welcome to one of the step-by-step user guides for the Alberta Council on Admissions and Transfers (ACATs) first three new Student Mobility Reports!The new reports contain information regarding student enrolment flow and tracking for public post-secondary institutions and the six sectors in Alberta.These reports use Learner and Enrolment Reporting System (LERS) system data, which has been signed off by public post-secondary institutions, supporting easy access to existing data. LERS system data includes data regarding all approved programs reported in LERS by publicly funded post-secondary institutions in Albertas six sectors.

2ACAT Student Mobility Reports:Student Yearly Enrolment Tracking3The first three new mobility reports are: Institution and Sector Student Enrolment Flow reports, which provide student enrolment flows into, within, and out of Albertas public post-secondary institutions and six sectors for a given academic year. These reports target the most recent, complete LERS system data set available (inflow to and outflow from the 2010/2011 cohort year). A Student Yearly Enrolment Track by Post-Secondary Institution report, which provides tracking of student enrolment in public post-secondary institutions by academic year. This report looks back six years from the most current, valid LERS data available for a student cohort (2011/2012 cohort year).Report updates will occur on a yearly basis as new LERS data is available and will maintain consistent templates.

3ACAT Student Mobility Reports:Student Yearly Enrolment Tracking4This PowerPoint will now provide a brief step-by-step user guide to walk you through the Student Yearly Enrolment Track by Post-Secondary Institution report.Please note that to provide the following illustrative examples regarding the contents of this report, this presentation uses examples of real University of Lethbridge (U. of L.) institution information, which is available on ACATs website alongside the reports for other public institutions.

Student Yearly Enrolment Tracking5This report reflects tracking of student enrolment records at an institution (e.g., U. of L.) for a specific student cohort (e.g., 2011/12), identified by the highlighted section. Examples are provided on the next slide to illustrate the information in this table.University of Lethbridge: 2011-12 Student Cohort: 9,340

Voiceover:The Student Yearly Enrolment Tracking Report reflects the tracking of student enrolment records at the University of Lethbridge and at other institutions by academic year and in preceding academic years. Examples are provided on the next slide to illustrate the information in this table.- To illustrate here, 9,340 students were enrolled in the University of Lethbridge during the 2011-12 academic year.

All the data in the columns for the preceding academic years (e.g., 2006-2011) reflect where students were enrolled prior to the U. of L. for the highlighted cohort year. 2011/12 data in the last column reflect enrolment in the U. of L. in the highlighted cohort year (e.g., 9,340 students), as well as additional 2011/12 enrolment records for these same students at other institutions.University of Lethbridge: 2011-12 Student Cohort: 9,340

Voiceover:

This report reflects tracking of student enrolment records at an institution (e.g., U. of L.) for a specific student cohort (e.g., 2011/12), identified by the highlighted section. All of the data for the preceding academic years (e.g., 2006-2011) reflects where students were enrolled prior to the U. of L. in 2011/12. 2011/12 data reflects the student cohort enrolment in the U. of L. (e.g., 9,340), as well as additional enrolment records for these students at other institutions for 2011/12.

Voiceover:When looking at this slide please note that values listed in the diagram represent the number of Unique Students at the level you are looking at; therefore, adding up sector numbers in each category may lead to inflated value.Lets look at how to interpret the table:Of the highlighted 9,340 students at University of Lethbridge in 2011-12, 2,433 were enrolled at the University of Lethbridge in 2008-09.Of the 9,340 students at the U. of L. in 2011-12, 64 of these students were enrolled at Red Deer College in 2007-08.And of the 9,340 students at the U. of L. in 2011-12, 213 of these students were also enrolled at Lethbridge College.
