Quality Control Since June 22, ALMD has implemented a data quality management plan to improve the overall quality of data in the Central Data Warehouse. The ministry acknowledges the effort and co-operation of the public post-secondary institutions in improving the quality of data used to generate these reports. Data quality improvement is an ongoing process, and the overall quality of data in the Central Data Warehouse is expected to continue to improve. 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 (such as the ) may appear to have a low headcount as at Nov. 1 despite providing education to a much higher number of students over a year. Offshore Students Reported headcounts include approximately 4, offshore students (not studying in Canada). 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. ing Values indicating a student headcount of less than five have been replaced with 'mask' to respect government's privacy policy. The implementation of this ing is under review. For more information about the standard reports, please contact Hugh Judd, Co-ordinator, Central Data Warehouse at [email protected].
