• Welcome 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.

• The 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.

• This PowerPoint will now provide a brief
  step-by-step user guide to walk you through the
  Sector Student Enrolment Flow report.
• Please note that to provide the following
  illustrative examples regarding the contents of
  this report, this presentation uses examples of
  real Comprehensive Academic and Research
  Institutions (CARI) sector information, which is
  available on ACATs website alongside the reports
  for all six Campus Alberta post-secondary
  sectors.

The following slides walk you through the
information in the Sector Student Enrolment Flow
mobility report using CARI information as an
illustrative example. The example focuses on the
2010-11 cohort year (D) and the inflow into
CARI before and the outflow from CARI after this
cohort year. The legend and notes on the next
slide further describe the contents of AH.

• Notes
• 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.
• Please refer to the Student Enrolment Flow by
  Post-Secondary Institution tab/page for the
  complete names of each sector (i.e. CARI, BASI,
  etc) and for the enrolment for individual
  post-secondary institutions that make up each
  sector.
