ENROLMENT REPORT 2011
University of Saskatchewan | 8
Data Definitions
STUDENT/PROGRAMS
LEVELS: the levels that are included in reporting are
undergraduate, graduate, post-grad clinical and non-degree.
UNDERGRADUATE: includes all undergraduate colleges
(Agriculture and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Edwards School
of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Dentistry, Education, Law,
Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy and Nutrition, and Veterinary Medicine)
and Open Studies.
DIRECT-ENTRY PROGRAMS: undergraduate-level programs
that students may be admitted to directly from high school; they
do not require any post‑secondary education in order to qualify
for admission. Programs included in this category are: Agriculture
and Bioresources, Arts and Science, Edwards School of Business,
Kinesiology and Engineering.
CREDIT UNITS: courses can be assigned academic credit units
or credit weights. A class is an offering of a course to one or more
students at a particular time. The three credit unit equivalent measure
is calculated based on the academic credit value of the class and
generally equates one student in a class that contributes academic
credit towards a student's progress in completing their program.
TIME PERIODS
TERM: a period of time defined in the Academic Calendar, for
which a course for credit may be offered. Terms are identified by the
year and the month of when they start (e.g. 200909 is September
of 2009). Each term usually allows for a range of 33-39 instructional
period hours of instruction per term. University of Saskatchewan
reporting is based on the following terms:
■■
Spring Term: May to June time period
NON-DIRECT ENTRY PROGRAMS: undergraduate-level programs
that students require post-secondary education in order to qualify to
admissions. Programs in this category are: Dentistry, Education, Law,
Medicine, Pharmacy, Nutrition and Veterinary Medicine.
■■
Summer Term: July to August time period.
■■
(Spring and Summer Terms are normally reported on together as
a session - see below)
■■
Fall Term: September to December time period.
GRADUATE: includes students enrolled in doctoral, master’s, and
post-graduate diploma programs as well as those who have not yet
declared a program.
■■
Winter Term: January to April time period.
POST-GRAD CLINICAL: includes Medicine and Dentistry
residents.
NON DEGREE: includes students registered in non-degree
certificate and diploma programs.
INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS: students who have a residency
code of N (non‑Canadian citizen).
SASKATCHEWAN STUDENTS: students who have a residency
code of C (Canadian citizen) or P (Landed/Permanent Resident)
AND who have a Saskatchewan high school on their record.
Saskatchewan high schools are identified by an SK identifier.
OUT-OF-PROVINCE STUDENTS: students who have a residency
code of C (Canadian Citizen) or P (Landed/Permanent Resident) AND
who do not have a Saskatchewan high school on their record. That is,
the high school identifier is something other than SK.
UNDECLARED STUDENTS: students who have a residency code
of C (Canadian Citizen) or P (Landed/Permanent Resident) AND who
do not have a high school on their student record. This generally
includes students who are admitted under special or provisional
admission, but it is not exclusive to these student types. Until more is
known about the origin of these students we have decided to report
them separately. We do know that they are not international and
suspect that most are Saskatchewan residents.
Note: Term-based student headcount reporting involves counting
all distinct students registered at the University of Saskatchewan
during the term.
SESSION: denotes the combination of two terms as follows:
■■
Regular Session: pertains to the time period between
September and April and is made up of the Fall Term (September
to December) and the Winter Term (January to April).
■■
Spring/Summer Session: pertains to the time period between
May and August and is made up of the Spring Term (May to
June) and the Summer Term (July to August).
Note: Session-based student headcount reporting involves counting
all distinct students registered at the University of Saskatchewan
during the session.
ACADEMIC REPORTING YEAR: a twelve month time
period (May 1 to April 30) that is equivalent to the University
of Saskatchewan Fiscal Year (as defined by the University of
Saskatchewan Act) and the Academic Calendar Year (as defined by
the University of Saskatchewan Nomenclature Report). An Academic
Reporting Year consists of the Spring/Summer Session, Fall Term, and
Winter Term.
Note: academic Reporting Year-based student headcount reporting
involves counting all distinct students registered at the University of
Saskatchewan during the academic reporting (or fiscal) year.
NOTE: Data presented in this report may be restated in the future due to the continuous improvement of data quality.
